Do you put your GPU and CPU in the same watercooling loop?
why or why not

Honestly, as long as you have enough radiators it doesn't make any real difference to performance, dual loops look cool, but, obviously cost more to do and need more space, which most cases can't fit in two reservoirs.

Edit.
My main rig is a single loop with sli 1080ti ftw3, monoblock covering the 7900x and vrm then 2 480x45mm rads.

My new loop I'm putting together is 2 360x30mm rads and 1 360x45mm, then a 9900k and a 2080ti ftw3.

where are you putting all of those radiators in your next loop? what case are you buying?

in a custom loop if you have a 2 rads, yes

pump -> gpu -> rad1 -> cpu -> rad2 -> res -> repeat

Order of the components doesn't matter as long as the rss feeds the pump directly as it. Will all normalise within a degree anyway.

The system shown in my profile is res pump rad gpu gpu monoblock rad res in a phantecs Enthoo primo.

The new build (no real pics other than sneak peek) is in a lian li 011 dynamic, 30mm rads top and bottom, 45mm in the rear, the order of the loop I'm unsure right now as I'm still gathering parts, might be using a distro block, but I'm not certain (though I have bought one), I'm waiting on ek to release the gpu block for the ftw3, to fit it in, it's being vertical mounted extra high which requires a 2 slot bracket in place of the default 3 slot, it's to wide to fit in horizontal.

If I were to do a custom loop I would just put them both in the same loop. Loop order really doesn't matter either as long as your rad and fans can remove enough heat to keep everything happy.

If I had a big enough case, I'd go dual or triple loop (one for each gpu), as I think it looks cool and would be easier for maintenence, but it is expensive just for looks.

I nearly did, infact, but then case labs announced they were closing the day I was going to order from them, I've since spent that cash on the new couch setup hehe.
