Adding another gpu to loop

[beardyweirdy]

Hi
I have the following set up:
Temjin
XSPC 360 Radiator
Ek Laing DDC 18W Pump
XSPC Res
AC Ryan Blackfire 2000 rpm fans
17 [email protected]
6990 Alphacool waterblock

All on the same loop. If, in the future I wanted to add another card should I think about separate loops, or would upgrading the rad to a 480 be ok and keep the single loop?
Cheers

Keep the same loop.

You are also cooling CPU I presume?

Which 360 XSPC Radiator, RX, RS, EX ?

I think It should be sufficient if EX or RX but will probably be better if you add another 1 x 120 Radiator block (maybe attach to vent at the back) if your overclocking.

The current trend seems to be going against fully separate dual loops and with an 18W ddc you should have enough pump power to keep everything in one loop, though I would try adding a 240 somwhere rather than replacing the 360 with a single 480.

Hi Thanks for the reply. Not sure which model it is but its around 1 inch depth, if that's any help. Yes, I am cooling the cpu too.
Sorry for the daft question, but how do I add a rad to the current loop?

I looked at the Temjin Dual loop systems and there is little scope for a dual loop without using a dual bay res with pumps inside, as there is only enough room at the bottom of the case for 2 rads and a psu and not much else.

Keep it as a single loop, the rad will be an RS i think at that thickness so i would look at adding a 120.2, u can basically add this anywhere into the loop, u are going to need 2 fittings, an sli fitting, a rad and another gpu block.
