If I wanted 2 or 3 loops to cool my overkill system will it require 3 of everything pump, rev etc?

sorry if its a silly question this is my first wc build

I think you're confusing the word loop.
A loop consists of rad(s)/pump(s)/res(s)/block(s).
A loop is just what's running in that "circuit".

I assume you mean multiple rads, in which case you can fit multiple rads into a loop.

But, what are you trying to cool? It'll give the more experienced better information to go on.

There is no point going dual loop really since single loop gives the same temperature and costs less.

TJ07 Case

360 rad at the top and quad at the bottom

I am cooling 990X with SLI 580's

I'd dual loop a setup like that, tripple for the cpu and quad for the 2 gpu's.

At first I read the topic as "Noob Waterboarding" - I need to wake up.

So do i need 2 pumps and stuff if i'm going to have 2 rads?

If you want to go dual loo, yes you will need two pumps.
Give this a read first before you make your mind up

Nope.
As long as it's good enough.

Does anyone know if you can put a 260 rad in the front of a TJ07 Case aswell?
