Actually super interested as well about that, I have a 2 rad (420) that I want to setup and can do either 2 loop or a a single big one with 2 serial pump (2 DDC here). And if single loop what is best for the pump? On serial like CptT95 mentioned or in parallel at a single point?

Or it just doesn't matter.

Not familiar with DDC, in fact this is my first time getting into custom loop
I have a D5 pump, and it's pretty good, even though I somehow messed up the RPM signal, it still receives pwm signal so I used a splitter that uses on out of three connections for rpm signal
It is nice and quiet and pushes quite a bit of water
I currently have an Optimus cpu block, asus mobo built in ekwb VRM block, Hardware Labs GTS 360 and SR2 MP 360 and there is only a one degree difference between the two rads I have between vrm block and res return, even at low rpm

Same first loop as well. Got a 5800x with a monoblock, and a South bridge block, with ram as well (I just like the look) all EK. But kind of too much restriction... Maybe. Which is why I got a second DDC for the extra block when my KP will find it's new home... But as you I wonder for what's best single versus dual loop. Dual I would use red and green colors for each team 😜 but if there is a real difference temp wise... I'd rather keep it cooler.

I would imagine completely separate loops would always perform slightly better in terms of temperatures, but there has to be a pretty big point of diminishing returns if you setup a single loop with enough radiator size & enough fan-cooling on them.  I'm really looking forward to comparing notes with more folks that have a similar amount of radiator-size to myself in terms of what temperatures they see vs mine.

I'm thinking one big loop for ease of draining, with drain being hidden at bottom of case behind the bottom rad, there is alot of space between the bottom rad and the mobo tray

Idk how ml120 fans are now, but my ml120 pro can do all the way down to like 400-500 rpm

Yeah I mentioned about that recently in one of these threads..... so many threads 😆🤣

How thick is the backplate for the kp ?

Is one of this enough to repad front and back memory of the 3090 KPE HC or should I get 2? (120x120mmx2mm)
 
Thank you

Quick question, is it normal for the fan speed to be uncontrollable in the LN2 Bios?

I used 2x of the smaller packs of 2mm and 1x of the smaller pack of 1.5mm.  It was just enough.

Agreed, you'll need 2 of the 2mm to do both sides VRAM chips for sure, 1 is barely enough for one side - be sure you don't mess up any cuts, you barely have enough excess to do a section if you mess up, from what I remember.

Definitely not normal to have no fan control.  What are you using, Afterburner or Precision?  I assume we're talking about a non-HC card?

Yeah it's the kingpin hybrid, and I found out my problem. I forgot to plug in one of the fans during install causing the 2 that were plugged in to run at full speed and not register in X1. After plugging it in, all is well!

little bugger lol, always the small things that are the issues

Hum... I am not sure about that daisy chain PCIe power. If you can take 2 separate cables you should consider it. But that's a lot of cooling power 😜

I gave up waiting and bought a prebuilt from MicroCenter
 
That's a scalper bought EVGA low end in a MicroCenter box with a 5900x and 850 EVGA Supernova

Can't see the pictures for some reason
