Water Cooling Configuration.

[DaveKerk]

In the near future I plan on upgrading my system. I plan on upgrading to a 2920x with my previously owned 3x 980 kingpin cards (I also already have the water blocks). As any enthusiast would want to do, I want to water cool every single component. I found a case that has 420 and 360 rap support. My question: would running two different loops be a good idea? If so, what should I associate with each set of components with each rad? As stupid as it is, I am kinda attached to my 980s, so please don't suggest replacing them.

Single loop,

That choice is your own dude, honestly, personally if you have the parts i'd say why not, but if you're overclocking 3 980's a 420 rad will soon soak heat depending on the fan choice. I'd single loop it and have both rads dumping the heat.

I’d do a single. As one of those rads wouldn’t be enough for 3 cards if you wanted lowest rpms you could get.

As suggested a single loop would be best in terms of cooling potential as you have the total available rad space to all the components even if there is more heat generating parts in a single loop itself.

Honestly a dual loop is more for looks then anything else.A single vs dual will both cool the same real world.And single is less things to buy like the 2nd pump and res and less tubing/fittings also.But i would look up the tdp of that cpu and all 3 cards see if you have enough rad for it.And how thick of rads can you run in that case might come in to play.
