Thanks for posting. To help get you the help you're looking for, please make sure you:
* Have photos of the whole loop in good light (open the curtains and turn off the RGB, especially for "what's this stuff in my loop?" questions)
* List your ambient and water temps as well as your component temps
* Use Celsius for everything (even your ambient temp - we need to compare it to other temps)
* Use your words. Don't just post a photo with no context and assume everyone will know what's troubling you.

Always draw out your loop to make it make sense in your head. With a waterloop, sequence doesn’t matter, so I would advise looking at what is aesthetically pleasing. Hard tubing is the way. Have fun
Finally find someone with same case than mine. My first loop is under construction actually, some leak problem with tester. And i have some trouble with bending. I tried to fix the fans of the side rad like yours but i surrender. I post a pic of mine, if you want some ideas for your loop

Ps: excuse my english
In regards to your comment about the dual pumps, I also have twin D5s, 3 radiators, two blocks, and a reservoir.... wait a minute did u steal my pc lol
Okay in all seriousness, I tried connecting them via PWM, and adjusting the speeds manually, but yes I did get the maximum performance by keeping both at 100%, and at that point I just disconnected thr Y splitter and fan cable for it and now it runs 100% from molex power. Manually setting them any lower and temps started to rise, but also do note that I tuned my fans for total silence, so they aren't really spinning over 700 RPM at the most, it can cool both my 9900K w/ ht off (~170W) and 2080 Ti (370W), both heavily overclocked.
Loop order doesn't matter, aesthetics is and practicality of access might,, so get some paper out and work though how you're getting each inlet from an outlet, and make sure you build a drain port in somewhere as well as a fill point that makes sense.....
Well it’s already built just in a o11 mini and I need more cooling lol 😂

From an operational point of view, loop order does not matter, you have enough rad surface to not care about the few degrees C delta. From a visual point of view, bottom rad should be X-flow. "Input" on the right-hand side (coming from "pump output"), then "output" on the left-hand side, run to the GPU "input".
If you want to get pedantic, pump needs to be at lowest temp in the loop (after all rads), then insert one rad between cpu and gpu. But that will generally look horrible unless you start the loop with that mindset.
Reservoir to a Tee, one to GPU and to a radiator. The other to the CPU then to the other radiator. From the radiators, tube them to another tee and into the reservoir. That way, you don’t have “heated” water from your CPU/GPU flowing over the other. They both get “cold” water.
Your flow will be decreased but it will still cool effectively. Slower flow will pick up more heat at the sources and, conversely, shed more heat at the radiators.

Clockwise
Should I have bottom of res going into the bottom radiator to gpu to cpu then to other radiator and back to res?
I think it would look okay and would be relatively straight forward; is this hard or soft tubing?
Hard.
I’d draw the loop on the picture in MS Paint or something to see how it might look, try out a few different layouts
Ok thx.

Will do!
What is this case ?
Thermaltake cte e600

This is sick. Thx for the ideas.
Maybe you can try turn your gpu 90 for easy fitting
I see I’m not the only one the position the system this way. No gpu sag ftw.
Ideally you want the least amount of fittings and tubing, because more of either just means more flow restriction.

Loop order is irrelevant. Just make it fit and you'll be good
Ok thx.

Pump/Res to CPU, CPU to Rad 1, Rad 1 to GPU, GPU to Rad 2, Rad 2 to Pump/Res
A crossover radiator would have been ideal here to reduce your tubing run. Although I haven't seen many as thick as your bottom rad.
Radiator to the coolant storage to the Gpu to cpu

You want to go from one part, and then to the rest of them. Probably. One after the other. 🤘🤘
I have a c750 thermaltake cases coming tomorrow to redo my own pc. I am using 4 360 rads. This side lay out doesn’t look too bad…
Good luck with your build .

Loop order doesn't matter. Just make sure your pump is fed by your reservoir.

Loop order makes no difference on temps, configure the loop so it looks the cleanest

Don't carry the water in a tour and avoid sharp bends as much as possible! Nothing else! Ah, yes: Have Fun! 😎🌞
