Is it possible to get a heat exchanger so I can split a loop into two loops but still share the heat too both loops? I have a roof rad for my servers and I hooked my main PC into it as well but it's annoying having 3 computers on one loop if there is ever an issue and I need to do loop matinabce. I wonder if I just thermal pasted and screwed 2 old CPU blocks together.

What about doing what LTT did with their whole room water cooling, where the links coming from the PC had quick release fittings with a standard 240mm RAD attached to run the system while the external loop is offline?

Yes you can get heat exchangers if you plan to so something like whole room watercooling and have say an external loop and internal loop with different fluids to keep them completely isolated.

Quick couplings would be simpler and more efficient, even though I'm not convinced of their long term reliability if you take them apart frequently.
