Is having too many rads too much?

Hi,

I've been wanting to water cool my rig for a year now and havent been able to get it off the ground. I have three rads one being a stealth 360 rad, black ice 240mm rad, and another larger thick loking monster 240 rad. I picked up 7/16 primochill tubing and compression fittings, and a koolance pmp-500 pump, heatkiller cpu block, and two EK gpu blocks. So was wondering do i have two many rads? Would the Ek revo d5 pump be too weak to handle all that restriction? Should i break up the flow from cpu to rad to gpu or just cpu to gpu to rad instead or does it matter?


thanks
 
that depends on what your after.

Are you after performance?
Because you most definitely have the cooling capacity for performance.

Are you after noise?
Because you definitely wont get a quiet system due to the black ice rads you have, especially that stealth series which has a very high fpi and requires loud powerful static fans.

Should you split up the loop?
Depends mostly if your a gamer / production user / or bitcoin + distributing computing user.
 
I'm an old school overclocker when no fan was too loud but now a days I want a balance. Use to fan noise anyhow. Mostly gaming even though who has time these days!

Thanks
 
then no...

dont split it up.
Instead i would get another pmp-500 and get it for redundancy all on a single loop.
