Ok, so I'm looking to get two Superclocked Titan Z GPUs and an Intel i7-5960X CPU and 128GB (8x16GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800 DDR4 RAM and four Aquacomputer 480 Single Circuit Copper Fin Radiators
I need to cool these components via these radiators, but I need some help on what path to take.

Would the liquid cooling system remove more heat if I used 1 radiator for the CPU and RAM loop and 3 radiators for the GPU loop OR would it remove more heat if I used 2 radiators to cool each loop OR would it be best to put everything into a single loop with a radiator between each component being cooled?

Basically my main question here is, what would be the best placement of these components for maximum cooling?

Thank you all for all your help.
 
Solution
1. the price. Titan Z's go for about 1500$, while you can get 2 better performing 980 ti's for less.
2. the arquitecture. Titan Z's are based on kepler, while 980 Ti's and Titan X's are based on maxwell, which is less hot, more overclockable, and generally faster.
3. if you want more performance then one titan Z, you have to get another one, which will get you into the problems of 4-way SLI problems, andif you have 2 980 ti's in SLI, you just have to add one, and while going from 2 to 3 does have problems, they arent close to the problems 3 to 4way SLI has.

get 980 ti's instead.
why do I think you are a complete troll?

anyway, if this IS real, when dealing with water cooling, they way you set it up does not matter. while dual loops might give slightly better performance, it does not really matter.
also, please dont get titan Z's, and are completely worthless now that 980ti's are out, get 3 (or even 4) of them and put them in SLI and forget about it.
 


do you mean the gtx 980ti that has less than 3000 cuda cores? even a Titan X has more cores, more vram, and higher clock speeds, no?
 


I ment to say (I guess I was not looking or something like that) that the Titan Z's are pointless, and they always were, and you are MUCH better of with 3 (or even 4) GTX 980 ti's than 2 Titan Z's. even if you want to get GTX Titan X's, it will still be much better (but if will be getting Titan X's it will cost more)
 


Why are Titan Zs so bad, and how would these other choices you mentioned be better?
