No, you're not going to be able to cool a CPU and two GPUs with a single thin 240mm radiator. You're going to need at least a 360 or a 480 if you want to get adequate temperatures with your  R9-290Xs.

 

If you're only going to be cooling your GPUs, you might get away with a 240 or a 360.

Why not just run one loop? You're going to save more money that way.

do u have a video on how to?

That lifehacker video you watched was only a single loop. If you're asking these questions, maybe you should do much more research on the topic. As in, watch a whole bunch of videos (singularity computers is really good) or go through a bunch of build logs.

Yes, this. There are many great builds on this forum.

not very helpful im sorry to say

You were asking for a how-to video. That video is pretty in-depth, so I don't understand how it's not helpful. If you want other videos, check out Singularity Computers on YouTube.

I'm confused. Are you asking on a how to video for a single loop or a dual loop setup?

Even if he were, he wouldn't be able to afford it, he keeps talking about 200-400 dollar limits.

Yeah. Even if you have a big budget, you should still get a single loop setup. The only time where you might want a dual loop is when you have a ton of radiators, waterblocks, and a huge loop. When I say huge, I mean huge.

single but for two gpus and cpu, i just dont understand why five radiators?

He put five radiators ONLY because he wanted to make an overkill build guide. This was not a permanent system anyways.

Five is just what Linus had chosen for his build.

Please stay with a budget, so far it's risen 400 dollars in the past two days.
