XSPC X2O 750 enough?!

I have been using this rad pump for the last year with the small Dual Radiator it comes with and a triple radiator that is practically twice as thick as the stock one and most others I have seen.

I used this setup with a lightly OC'ed 3770K and Dual full water blocked HD 7970 Ghz Edition (We could say at times the ENTIRE CASE was warm to the touch let alone trusty the rad body or waterbuck.

I got an R9 FURY X and just full waterblocked it and metallic cooling back plated it I know this is less length/span/distance for the pump to cycle I do not know if the EK water block is maybe tighter chamber making it harder to push for optimal flow.

I know this is less area than what I used to have but I don't know if adding a second pump and speeding up or increasing the flow would improve cooling?

Would getting a second Pump to increase the flow in any way help cool more optimally?

Trying to follow along- let me see if I am getting this correct.

You have a loop with an XSPC X20 750 pump, the 240 rad and CPU block from the kit, a thick 360 radiator and you were cooling a 7970. Is this right? When you say the case was warm...do you mean the case itself, or the radiators? How are the radiators mounted? What fans are on them? What direction are fans blowing?

You got an R9 Fury X....Assuming to replace the 7970?

What do you mean this is less area than what you used to have? (not sure I follow this statement)

We'll need some clarification on this info...what was provided in the first post isn't quite enough to determine what the issue is.
