I'm currently preparing to buy EVGA watercooling components shortly after release. I'm thinking CPU block, GPU (maybe 1080TI) and two 360mm radiators (My case is the nzxt h440 ). And I have a few questions:

1: Should I have them as two separate loops or as one?

2: If I use two loops, should I have the CPU rad in the front and the GPU rad in the top?

 

Additional question, what should I use to get rid of vibration noise? Should i use rubber washers or something?

CPU: i7-6700K  Cooler: Noctua NH-L9x65  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE  Memory: Corsair VENGEANCE LED 3200Mhz (2x8GB)

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z270i  SSD: Samsung 960 EVO 1TB, Samsung PM981 1TB  Case: Louqe Ghost S1

Monitor: Dell Alienware AW3418DW

If it's only a single GPU and single CPU, you won't really benefit from a dual loop in terms of performance but may look better?

Doesn't really matter :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

I was just thinking that maybe the GPU would run hotter and unnecessarily raise the temperature on the CPU, both the liquid and the hot air if the GPU rad was in the front, depends on single or dual loop ofc. Probably not much but couldn't hurt to ask

A single GPU won't be enough to raise the liquid temps substantially enough to affect other parts.

Ok, thanks for the help. (Teach me how to reach Diamond is R6S)
