hi guys, i'm planning on water cooling my pc. need some suggestions and recommendations. i'm planning on doing a single loop which is going to cool my cpu and 2 gtx 1080's, the case is going to be the thermaltake view 71 rgb. first question is that should i get 2 360 rads? or is a single 1 enough? how thick should it be? (i've read that thickness matters on deciding which rad to get) which rad should i get? is there any merit on doing a push pull config on the rad? are uv sensitive coolant any good? and in what order should i go with?
 
Solution
1. 2 rads will allow you to run more fans at lower speeds than 1 rad.
2. Push-pull config will not make any improvements over either push or pull.
3. Get rads that will fit your case, it's not like the thickness will make any noticeable difference in temperatures
4. UV coolant should be fine.
5. The ordre to install won't matter.
