Hi,

Will two 240mm rads be enough for cooling a cpu and two gpus? Rads are Alphacool 45mm and 60mm. Overclocking both cpu and gpus.

more then enough, no worries. 

 

generaly, CPU = 240mm

GPU 120mm

 

and seeing as these are very thick rads you should see no problems temps wise

yup

unless your GPUs are from AMD in which case you might not be able to overclock as much as you might like

Yes that is enough radiator space, of course you could get things quieter with more, but I don't think you would get much more performance.

it'd be enough for some mid-speed fans. if you are wanting low speed (low noise)

then 360/240. 2x 240 is a great CPU/GPU for low speed (sub 1000rpm) fans.

if overclocking both and to keep the temps down and fan speeds down, you might

look to a bit more.
