    So you have 2 triple radiators? Then don't buy the double radiator and put the triple there. So it would look like this:

    res-pump-cpu-triple rad-gpus-triple rad

    anyway you try, you can only get a min temperature on air/water cooling alone.. adding another rad wont really make such a difference.. especially when you have that much dissipation area already.. but let's say the coolant temperature was higer and you need to lower it.. then adding a res helps.. but i don't know if you will see a difference bigger than 1-2 degrees in tems.. so if you wanna go with so much rad area, use a peltier to "heat up" the coolant and cool your cpu more.. this way, the added rad will prove its usefullness.. of course, you need a big peltier there too or more smaller ones: on the cpu and on the gpus.. just a suggestion.. because even with one double rad u get nice cooling.. with 2x3+1x2... not much difference.. IMO, of course..

    It really isn't going to make any difference with that double rad. You passed the mark and are getting diminishing returns. You will see good temp decreases but the more you add, the less you would see. dgrmkr is right, to better maximize 3 radiators, you need to add a peltier. And since you are a cooling freak, you will see better cooling performance.
