Anyway im glad you started this post because i had looked at that setup and was also confused on the flow till i saw the new diagrams.
Thanks everyone for posting.
Motherboard chipset.
For a gpu, if you're using a universal block, you must cool the vram(s) and vrm(s). Usually by using heatsinks and having some air flow to them. There are a few approaches to this.
For newbies, stick with a gpu that has a fullcover block. It'll take a lot of the guessing work needed to setup a universal block. Fullcover blocks are more expensive but if you look hard enough, you can find them preowned for less.
Since the gpu is a bit more involved and specific (for fullcover blocks), most newbies start off with the cpu block. Intel or Amd cpu loops are very straight forward.
