Can you run two radiators in a single loop ?

[Game_on]

Can you run two radiators in a single loop for example I have vrm cpu and two gpu being water cooled with a single ekwb 360 radiator but since I've added the second gpu my single 360 radiator just can't handle it anymore so to correct the issue I want to go reservoir to pump to cpu to gpu to second gpu to radiator and to second radiator will this fix my issue and would it help my temperature ?

If it's a custom loop and not an AIO, pretty sure you can.

[Game_on]

Basically I want to have two radiators at the end of the single loop liquid would travel from one radiator to the second radiator in the single loop?

[Game_on]

Yes but would it bring down my temps and if yes how much more do you think I'm getting 52c on almost all components like cpu and both gpus under load and overclocked with the single 360 radiator if a add the second one befor the last radiator how much more do you think temps would drop ?

Yes you can google images of a PC custom watercooling loop and you will see literally thousands of computers with more than one radiator.

I have 2 radiators in my loop. It goes Res/Pump to GPU, 280mm Rad, CPU, 240mm Rad, Res. You can have as many radiators as you want and can fit basically. Jayztwocents just recently did a 4x 480mm rad config with a D5 pump for the lawls and has zero issues with pressure and flow rate of the water.

Linus literally built a case out of radiators that where all used in the same loop

The only limit for the number of radiators is the power of the pump. Any basic pump can easily handle at least 2 radiators. With a D5 even more.

Radiators provide minimal flow resistance compared to blocks. Pretty sure you will run out of space for radiators in the case before the pump starts being an issue

Yes, you are well below the point of diminishing returns.

My current build has 2 480mm rads in series. Works great ?

[Mick Naughty]

 I idea how much it would drop temps as that depends on the rad, fans and fan speeds. Among a few other things. 

 

Its gonna drop the temps regardless. No reason not to do it unless it effects a lot of other things. Any idea what your water temps are?

[ravenshrike]

Yes. However separate radiators for CPU and GPU are better unless you can only fit say a 120 and 360 rad. If rad sizes are closer, you want the components on separate loops.

Nonononononono!

[ImpossibleTech]

you can if it is custom. you just need a strong enough pump to be able to push the liquid through both rads

the only order that matter is res to pump so the pump doesn't run dry.

 

with that said add as many radiator you like ( if your pump is up to it of course )

ORDER does NOT matter except the res>pump.

 

order does not matter because the liquid will equalize no matter the order of the loop.

[knightslugger]

Clearly, you can.

Thank you to all of you guys for your replys and help not only have you guys confirmed that this will work. I have seen pros having one radiator loop into a second one after the other and back to the components thanks once again.
