I'm planning on doing a custom loop for my 7700k and dual 1080 ( both oc'd ).I was wondering if it was worth doing a dedicated loop for my cpu and one for my gpus.Each loop would be getting their own 480mm rad.Would a single loop be enough to get crazy cool temps or is a dual loop required for that ? Note that I am willing to spend the extra money.

Unless it is just for aesthetics and design a single loop with a two 480mm rads would more than enough especially if you had dual 480mm sharing the cooling. Once you get to so much rad space you see less and less return in terms of cooling but it can benefit with silence if you run ultra low RPM fans.

Stay with one loop and you will be fine.. Two 480 rads will be will be overkill especially for the cpu not so much on the gpus.. What is the thickness of your rads? I'm also not sure what u mean by crazy cool temps but u will probably be running in the mid 20s on idle.. U will never see anything lower then the ambient temperature of ur room on h20 unless u started getting into different cooling methods.

what case will you be using? just curious because i am shopping around :)

GPU drivers giving you a hard time? Try this! (DDU)

Yes its worth doing seperate loops

Indeed one would be better than 2 IMO here.  Primarialy because the CPU loop will be pretty overkill on radiator space (very low liquid temps) and the GPU loop will be just ok on radiator space (slightly higher liquid temps).  If they're just on a single loop together, the cpu will see a LITTLE more heat but the GPU's will run cooler since all the rad space is being used all the time
