Watercooling CPU GPU with one rad 360

[yuchiro]

I have one rad 360 but need to cooling both CPU and GPU.

Please review pictures about my question.

1. Tank (Res) > Pump > T fitting to CPU and GPU > T-fiting to rad 360 and back to Tank.
2. Tank (Res) > Pump > Rad 360 > CPU > GPU > Tank

Please tell which is better ?

I think option 1 is good because both CPU and GPU get cool water at the same time while option 2 only CPU get cool water and give hot water to GPU 🙁

Thanks all.

Bad idea all around. If that's a decently high end GPU and CPU it won't come close to keeping things cool

My CPU is i7 4790k and GPU is Strix 980Ti

I think you'd be better off just running them without the loop. Or getting another rad that was at least 240. As it stands a 240 mm dad is about the same as a mid grade air cooler for the CPU alone. Adding another 120 mm of rad won't be enough to keep a 980ti cool as well
