Setting up a single CPU + GPU loop with two rads?

[HunterAP]

Is it feasible to set up a loop with two rads going from CPU -> Rad 1 -> GPU ->  Rad 2? Is it better or worse than have two separate loops running independently?

Having a single loop would be more beneficial since you have more potential cooling area for the components in total. The loop order itself doesn't matter since the fluid moves at a very face pace around the loop as long as your res is before and above the pump.

Two separate loops is 99% never the answer it's more expensive and doesn't really benefit performance unless under very specific situations such as seperating 3-4 oced gpus from a oced cpu to keep coolant temps at ideal levels. Otherwise the only reason you ever see dual loops is for looks.

So this idea still works perfectly fine if I planned to use soft tubing for the entire loop? I'm not fully invested into trying learn how to bend hard line tubes with the limited free time I do have, and that I'm prefer function-over-form, so this loop might just end up in non-windowed case.

Doesn't matter what tubing is used. The concept is all the same. Just hook the stuff up. Order won't matter but it's best to have the reservoir above the pump and feeding it first. Then just be wary that the blocks may have a directional flow. Rads will go what ever way.
