Radiators requirement for new Threadripper content creation PC ?

[madno]

Read a lot about water cooling but am not sure how many radiators I need.

What it is about:

New build for content creation is in the works:
Most relevant load will be GPU und CPU rendering (runs full load for 24 hours and even more). During that the PC is used for other things at the same time (e.g. working on new textures, running new cloth simulations while IRAY, Lightwave or Blender are rendering in the background).

Planned or already bought components:

• Threadripper 3960X - ordered today
• 64 GB GSkill Trident Z ram (option to go 128 GB) - in the parts box already
• sTRX4 board with 4 x PCI x16 and 10GB ethernet - ordered today (asrock creator)
• 2 x RTX 2080 ti founder edition (option to go 3 x) for GPU calculations - one is in the box, one to be ordered
• 1 x RTX Quadro 4000 for display - in the box
• 3 x Samsung M2 SSDs - in the box
• 2 Samsung SATA SSDs - one in the box, one later when required
• Space Navigator and CAD mouse USB - in the box
• a few other usb devices (stick, external HDD, keyboard) - will be taken from old machine
• NAS over ethernet - not decided yet
• water cooling for 2080 ti GPUs - in the box (two EK Vector something)
• water cooling for CPU - ordered today (XSPC RayStorm Neo for AMD sTR4)
• pump - EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 Reservoir pump combi
• 3 x EK-Varder 120 EVO static pressure - in the box
• 1 x EK-Coolstream XE 360 60mm - in the box
• Case Phanteks Enthoo 719 - ordered today

Is the one radiator sufficient for those components? And is the one pump combi enough even if I would need more radiators?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

For what, CPU only or CPU + all GPUs?

Sorry for being unclear.

 

RTX 2080 Ti (2 of them) and Threadripper 3960x will be water cooled.

The RTX Quadro 4000 will not be water cooled.

If you could run the fans at full speed, the single xe 360 would probably be enough. The more silence you'd like, the more radiators you need. It doesn't seem like you're on a tight budget, so including a few more fans and fittings with another 240 or 360mm rad shouldn't be an issue. I have not tried a D5, though judging by Linus' praise, one should be able to handle 2 360 rads and 3 blocks.

So if silence would be of interest, I suggest considering one more radiator.

Ran 4 1080’s 24/7 on a 280 and 360 rad. 

The ram, cpu, vrm and plx chip were all on the same loop too. 

Think I kept it fans and pump at 50%, could have gone lower but I prefer to keep my fluid temp lower.

I would add a second 360mm radiator. Always better to have too much than too little when it comes to cooling. Even if you have a little more capacity than you need you can just turn down the fans for less noise.

 

I personally tend to use more for just a cpu and gpu so I can run 800-1000 rpm on the fans for a silent machine.

I would add as much RADs as possible because then the temps go way down.

thanks all.

Ordered a second 360 now.
