doesnt really matter, just dont put it between the res and the pump. just place it where it fits best in your case and route the tubing so that you have to use the least of it. less tubing will have a greater advantage on your temps than rad placement.

nah, not really, the water heats up about .5C from passing trough the CPU block, all of which it'll lose in the rad again.

Even a singe 360mm? Suspose a 120mm would kill my DDC 18w flow
