Discussion on loop order what goes where

I personally think it's not enough rad space, you had the 360mm on the GPU and a 240mm on the CPU on 2 different loops originally didn't you?

yeah the cpu on an AIO with 240mm and the gpu on this 360mm, now they are both on the same loop using only the 360mm.
Hence why i bought the new pump and radiator.

Yeah, don't forget that the VII kicks out a lot of heat, can you turn up the pump speed?

Nope its a one speed sata power cable kinda affair with this xspc ion.

last question.
Will i get better temps if i put the cpu on a seperate loop to the gpu, i.e cpu on the xspc Ion to the 240mm and the gpu with the 360mm and the d5
Or will it pretty much be the same as if they are on the same loop with the d5 and 2 radiators?
(im such a noob sorry)

Possibly, depending on which of the 2 is pushing out the most heat will decide which rad goes with which component?

I used to run a GTX 1080 on a single 120mm rad and temps were great.

Have you checked the block is seated correctly since you moved over to one loop? All fans set to the correct speed etc...?

Yeah the only way to keep things okay now is to have the fans on full speed, but 5 Maglevs dont sound good at that speed.
Its the increased temps from the gpus water flowing into the cpu, im pretty sure cause it to be 10-15 degrees hotter than before. I will re check the cpu block as maybe that needs more pressure possibly,
Will i see an immediate difference with adding an extra radiator to the loop?

Adding the extra rad should make all the difference, especially with the D5 pump ;)
 
You've not seated your CPU block properly or there's a stupid huge air lock in the loop. Even with a Radeon VII in the loop you shouldn't get 90 degrees on the CPU.
 
A 360 for a Radeon VII and a Ryzen 2600X sounds too small. You say the Ryzen gets to 90C but did the temps on the Radeon go up too? If not, the cpu block is probably not fitted properly.
 
The XSPC ION is a fairly little pump, I'd double check it's providing enough flow.

Aside from that though, I find GPU temps usually track water temperature fairly closely whereas the CPU can sit 10-20° higher under load. As soon as the load is gone, CPU drops down to about where the GPU is. So if your CPU is seeing 80+, I'd be worried that you have water temps over 60. As asked earlier, where have your GPU temps gone to?
