I am wonder if i should go dual loops or just a single.
I am running dual EVGA 770 Hydro with a water cooled Asus Rampage black, water cooled 3930k and a 360mm rad.
My question, would an EK Single 5.25" Bay Reservoir w/ Dual Serial DDC pumps be enough to run 1 loop, or should i go a different route and add another rad for a separate loop?

a 360 rad is enough to cool all three, but don't expect amazing temps. if you are ok with the temps on them, then it's fine, the pump should be good enough, (will just not have enough flow and temps will suffer if it isnt)

personally i would get a separate reservoir and a strong pump and then add maybe one more radiator

so the dual ddc pumps on the EK reservoir would have less output compared to a stand alone pump? what would you recommend for a pump, something like a Alphacool VPP655?

as for the second rad, i am tight for space (using an antec 1200) and was looking at getting the Aquacomputer Airplex Modularity System 360 Radiator and maybe going with a push pull fan set up. instead of a second radiator would i get decent results with this, a bay reservoir and possibly a 250 reservoir?

also, would it be ok to route GPUs to south bridge to CPU to northbridge? that way the loop will be from bottom to top and should get the air out nicely.

yeah., having clean runs is often the best way to go and doesnt really affect temperatures by all that much. More reservour won't really do much for temps, but the ek built in pumps are slightly less powerful than standalone pumps (better than say all in one pumps) but my personal preference is for a standalone pump. Increasing flow also helps with temps, though not by as much as say even adding another 120mm radiatior

Also, what Pump would you recommend?
