At the moment I'm using a rad that has places for 2x120mm fans on each side and I'm wondering if I could use that rad to cool the cpu and another rad to cool the gpu and chipset I know my pump is powerfull enough to pump the water so that wouldnt be a problem. I would route it something like this
res-pump-Tline-the bigger Rad-Cpu- -the smaller rad-Gpu-Chipser -t-lin-res and pump again so you think it would work better or would I get worse temps?

That's a healthy loop and should work just fine if your pump has a good flow rate. Are the rads external?

As long as you know you have the head on the pump to keep the water moving that would be fine to add the other Rad. If you have the money why not look into getting a dual core rad? I think it would save you some time and space.

you can probably do what you're talking about, but I have heard that sometimes people get worse temps with more than one rad. Your best bet would be to get a double or tripple rad and run only one radiator.

well the only way to know for sure is to find out. try your loop with both rads and with only the double rad. see what your temp differences are.
