This is the proposed loop setup. Anyone see anything wrong or a way to improve it. Just for piece of mind, I want to make sure I am not running the risk of hurting anything.

w/c parts

All koolance

240 rad
360 rad
570 gpu block
370si cpu block
pmp 450 pump ( MCP 655)
80mm x 240mm res

I would always recommend you place the reservoir immediately before the pump in your loop. Other than that, order doesn't really matter.

you should reroute the res to the pump. on inital startup, the GPU/CPU blocks will
restrict flow somewhat, starving the pump. once flow is established its not a problem.
wasting a couple of pumps myself 'sperimenting non res>pump order can be tretirous.
starting the system cold is the issue pump starvation. D5, DDC, 35X.. they all will
eventually push large air into the loop and if not careful, die.....
if there was an accumulator just for startup.. then you can have the res anywhere like
the XSPC res for the D5 as a buffer..

you can do Res>Pump>front rad>CPU>GPU>Top Rad>Res or Res>Pump>CPU>GPU>Front Rad>Top Rad>Res

knowing the case would help us too.
