I don't have the room to put in a tri fan radior setup in my case so is it ok to have a 1 fan radiator and then a second 2 fan radiator connected together with only 1 pump?
 
Yes and no. Depends on what pump you have, as well as the rads and how many blocks in the loop. If they're good rads with low flow-resistance, you can get away with it. If you have a powerful pump, you'll be fine with crappy rads. But again, amount of blocks also plays into it.
 
I used to run a setup on an apogee system with a 120x1 and a 120x2 radiator without flow issues. I'm also running currently 2 2x120 radiators on a DDC3.2 + XSPC top without issue. It can be done with a decent pump. What pump are you running, and what blocks are in your loop?
 
I haven't picked up the water cooling parts yet, but I'm planning on either the swifttec gtz or fusion v2 for the cpu. i'm not sure what I'll be doing w/ the GPU though. I haven't decided if I want a full block for my gpu since I might upgrade video cards when dx11 cards become available. I'm not sure on the raditor & pump yet. I wanted to make sure that it's ok to run a 2 raditor setup before looking into those parts.
 
CPX-PRO, Laing DDC, Laing D5 should all be fine pumps for what you are proposing. There is nothing wrong with having two radiators in one loop.

Click to expand...

Few if any rads these days can be considered restrictive. As long as you use a muscular pump you shouldn't have a problem.
 
OP: you will be fine... There's only a handful of pumps on the market that can't deal with this. Get a MCP655 or a DDC+ with a modded top and you'll be fine.
 
I got the MCP655 pump and I run 1 loop.

and my flow is still good. the VGA blocks are the Koolance full cover blocks.
