well thats why i recommended another small rad
the reason why loop sequence matters is this:
When the water gets heated up from a block and travels to a radiator, the water cools back down, and then goes to another block, heats up, then hits another rad, then cools....and so on...
BUT when you run water from a hot block to another hot block....the temps rises even more, and once it hits that radiator, it takes more for it to cool down...the delta is too high and thus you get worse temp.
the hotter water is, the faster it can heat up (until boiling point, at which this slows substantially)...but the hotter water is, the slower it cools down....and this works vice versa (until freezing point)
so by running rads in between each block, you can effectively keep the temps down simply because of the delta being lower.
2x 120mm rads would outperform his 1x 240mm rad if they were setup correctly
