Thank you for the replys! @airdeano - I will be using the ASUS Maximus V Formula. I won't be pushing overclocking to the max or anything. Just decent overclocking without changing the voltages too much. So, going single Rad won't be a problem? Will the temps be significantly lower going two radiators? Also, for my GPU loop question, are you guys saying that having the tube go in and out the same side of the waterblock is bad? Thanks for the help!

Hello everyone! After watching Linus's water cooling guide, I decided to make my very first water cooled system, but wanted to get some confirmation from the veterans before I order all my parts. The way my case is set up, I can put in 1 triple radiator. 120mm or 140mm. So it will be either a 360 radiator or a 420 radiator. I am going to use the loop for the CPU, 1 GPU, Mosfet, and Southbridge (Full MB block which will have 1 inlet and 1 outlet). The questions are, will a 360 radiator be enough for that loop? By using a 420 radiator, will I see a significant change in temps? Also, does having 2 radiators instead of 1 make a huge difference in temps? Because if so, I can add in a 2nd radiator, but would need to modify my case in order to do so. Also, for my last question, I wanted to check if doing this loop is possible : _____ <- GPU block inlet/outlet l <- l <- Tubing l <- l <- Tubing Because currently all the GPU loop configurations I saw so far looks like this : l <- Tubing l________ <- GPU block inlet/outlet Tubing -> l Tubing -> l I apologize for my crude drawing haha. Thank you for the help. Edit : Bah! For some reason the drawings came out weird. Basically, can I loop the GPU in a U-turn type of way, or does it have to go in from one end, and out the opposite end?

Awesome and very helpful guide Gmac! I'm starting my first liquid build soon, and will be using a CPU Block, GPU Block, and a full MB block. Thinking about using either a single 360 Rad, or two 240 Rads. What is your opinion on this? Would you use a single 360 Rad or 2 240 Rads? Maybe something different?
