which rad for which?

[Ozmandias]

I have a custom loop with these radiators- EK XE 360x60mm and EK PE 360x45mm. If i split my loop into dual setup, which radiator should i use for the CPU and GPU? My specs are in my sig.

 

Thx

I'd put the big XE rad on the CPU, a watercooled 3080 stays very cool anyway (I got one !)

Thx. My 3080 does stay very cool, with the 360x45 alone it would probably be fine. I only have the 360x60 on push too, so with push-pull it would be (probably) much better.

Pushpull doesnt matter one bit unless you have really really bad fans.

 

Realistically in your case it just does not matter which you use as both are well beyond good enough.

 

Whats the reason for dual loopin?

Not sure why, just considered it, but it would cost probably another 200 quid on top of the near 700 my loop has already cost. Was going to use 2 of these to do it, then just buy another D5.

Got a dual loop as well, but with 2 interconnectable AIOs (Alphacool Eisbaer and Eiswolf2) and a VPP (D5 like) pump and 150mm res

I could have made only one, tested it, but thing is the 3080 is cool enough standalone, so having the pump and shorter water circuit is overall better for the CPU than having a full loop.

Then don't it's not gonna make a difference part from asthetics if you prefer a dual system.
