360 CPU AIO + 360 GPU custom water loop OR 2x 360 custom water loop

Hello,

I am in a phase of planning my custom water loop. Presently I have a 360 AIO (Arctic LF2) on my 13700K. My goal is to have as low temps on the GPU during gaming as possible. I do not use any CPU intensive tasks on my PC, only gaming. Can you please advise what is a better scenario for lower temps on my GPU (presently RX6900XT Toxic Extreme, potential upgrade to 4090 in the future) ?

a) GPU only water loop with 360 HPE-30 (3x T30 fans)
b) GPU & CPU water loop with 2x 360 HPE-30 (6x T30 fans)

In both scenarios due to a noise limitation the fans will be limited to max. 1200 rpm.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi, if you cool a circuit with 2 radiators, you have more surface area to dissipate the heat into the environment. Therefore, a system with cooling for GPU + CPU incl. 2 radiators is better than a system only for the GPU and one radiator.
