Mixing different CPU blocks in a dual-CPU system...

[S-B]

I might be getting a Fuzion V1 and a Fuzion V2 block for my loop. Before I do though, I wanted to make sure that this is alright. I hear the V2 is more restrictive than the V1, so I was thinking:

MCP350 pump => MCP220 240mm rad => Fuzion V1 => Fuzion V2

Is that a good config? Is the rad big enough? Is the rad good enough? I think it is, but I'd probably need to add another pump and rad (maybe in a separate loop) to cool the chipsets.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Although, I would suggest placing the lower performing block before the higher performing one in the loop to help offset the difference.

Sounds good to me. Thanks.

It is a closed loop, the flow will be the same no matter what order you put the components in.

i would probably go for a triple 120 rad for 2 x CPU's.... just so dont need fans blasting through the rad to keep the temps decent.

Triple rad for two cpu's. The MCR320 should be fine. If you cannot fit that then add a MCR120 into the loop. You should still have enough flow for that loop. If you wanted better flow get a XSPC replacement top for the pump, $20, well worth it.

The rad is mounted externally for fresh aired goodness, so... I can fit anything.

I don't know if a 320 is really a worthy upgrade over the 220 though. I'm currently looking into a new transmission radiator, a higher-end triple rad, and a quad rad.
