Question Daisy Chain ekwb Phoenix?

[Castor_t]

I'm trying to get some more mileage from my 2017 build, so i've decided to go watercool and overclock a bit - right now I'm runnig a 7700k at stock + a 1080 with the basic fan cooler. I managed to get thePhoenix Cpu Gpu, a 240 rad and a 140 rad from ekwb for cheapo, and i was thinking about how to maximize efficiency/reduce possible problems: if I put both rad+pump in the same loop, can thy have any problem (I was thinking like CPU > 240 > GPU > 140)? Or should I just have two separate loops, the 240 for the 7700k and the 140 for the 1080?

Depending on what case you have. I would do Res->pump->240->CPU->GPU->140-> back to res.

Running 2 loops you might drop a few degrees on the CPU but the GPU will get better

ive ran a loop forwards and backwards in a system and only saw a few degrees difference on the CPU. Using XSPC 40mm thick radiators ran Res->pump->360->480->CPU-> 3x780 ti-> back to res

My biggest doubt/concern is that adding another pump to a GPU+CPU+240 is just adding another possible point of failure with minimal gains - I'll probably go with two separate loops, I've never pushed my gpu hard so a 140 will probably be enough.
