I just bought some OCZ flex ram. right now my big water 780i is only cooling my q9650. I was wondering the best route for the new lines. should it go from the pump to the cpu the over to the ram and back to the radiator, like one big loop or should I put a wye in the cpu cold water line, branch it to the ram. then bring warm ram water to a wye to the warm cpu water. any tips would be great so I can get my comp to 4.5ghz tonite and join the club.

I know you're asking how to set your tubing up, but I think you should really consider puting a custom cpu only or with the RAM loop together to get to 4.5ghz. I hope I was able to help.

Watercooling the ram is a waste of money.

Ever heard of a RAM chip overheating?

Ideally you should go from the pump to the rad, then to the CPU and then any auxiliary blocks (chipset etc) and return to a reservoir (or back to the pump). That way the radiator can take out the heat added by the pump.

AFAIK most people don't split the loop into parallel sections - it tends to mess up the flow unless it's done right.

Yup, don't bother WCing RAM.

I did and took it out of my loop, way to restrictive. I would just use a fan.
