    watercooling advice needed

    i'm looking to get a proper water cooling system soon and i'm thinking about how to go about it...

    i'm planning on putting 2 reservoirs on the top of my case and was wondering what order of parts should the water run? like have the water running through the CPU block right after the radiator or right before it? also since i'm planning on 2 water reservoir's should it go something like:

    Pump -> Radiator -> CPU -> Reservoir -> GPU Block -> Reservoir -> Pump

    i'll probably have a twin 120mm fan sized radiator along with 1/2 inch tubing, Swiftech Apogee GTX CPU block and 1200 Lph swiftech pump

    i guess i'm asking if having 2 reservoirs help get the water down in temps or does it cancel out the radiator?? im not really sure if the radiator gets the water below room temp or not :S

    cheers guys much appreciated

    Any kit you buy will have the instructions included.

    2 reservoirs will not make a difference. they are all in the same path.

    the water will never be below room temp. You'd need something like a Vapochill for that.
