Hi i would like to know:
Does sistem with 240 mm radiator mounted with 1 120mm fan works better than than 120 mm rad with 1 120 fan? (same question for 360 mm rad)
How will sistem with 2 pumps work (how will that effect flow) (i'am ordering parts from ebay so i'm afraid in quality).
If hapens that 1 pump die will other one be able to keep cpu alive?
How can i "aditionaly" protect my rig from leakings?
How big flow i must have if i want to oc cpu (i5 4690k) is 500L/h enought.
Build idea was water block > pump > rad > tank > pump > water block.
How would build with 2 seperated rads and water tanks (glowing for estetic) effect this?

2 pumps works fine if 1 dies the other will still do the job

i use 2 pumps--in case one fails

yes if you only have 1 pump and it fails the cpu should overheat and just shutdown the pc

but its easier just to put 2 pumps in the loop to begin with

loop order doesnt matter what order block--pump--rad are in but you want your reservoir higher than the pump to make getting air out easier

Not sure why you would only put a single fan on a 240mm radiator, but it would cool better then a 120mm radiator of the same thickness. A 360mm radiator would have even more surface area, and would cool better. But without fans across the entire radiator surface it wouldn't be as effective as it could be.

You won't need two pumps to cool only a CPU. If you have concerns of pump failure the CPU will simply overheat and shut the computer down, not break. Also All in one coolers are more suitable if you are only cooling the CPU, but if you just want it because it looks neat go for it.

500L\Hr is more then enough of a flow rate, and for far more then a CPU only needs. (You could easily add a few video cards without issues.)
