hey guys....hope u can help me out with my ultra noob question here regarding the 3 barbs CPU waterblock....been wondering about this for quite awhile....

1/ usually, how do people setup the input and output?? 1 input 2 output or the other way round??

2/ which one will be the input?? centre barb or outer barbs?

3/ comparing 2 barbs with 3 barbs waterblocks... which is better/preferred and why?

shah n zahri...thanks for the answers...

but im still waiting for answer to question number 3

@shah81
asking out of curiosity je laaa... to gain more knowledge *knowledge is power* hehe

@almostthere

thanks for the answer.... so i take it a lower resistance block would be better as it requires lesser hmax which in turn results in lower heat dump?

am i right or am i just shooting blanks?

to MetalZone for that badass explanation

but... for a n00b like me...i was blur as hell reading the thing without pix... so i decided to scour the net and find pix of waterblocks and its internals mentioned by MetalZone (also added not mentioned ones)... combined them and decided to post here.... so that other n00bs like me can read and look at the same time to better understand what MetalZone was rambling about and actually make some sense out of it....

so on with the pix (thank god for spoilers)
