Planning radiator/fan placement

I'm planning a build that will include the Kraken X62 and two MSI 1070 SeaHawks in a Phantek Enthoo Luxe.

 

I've got plenty of cooling for the CPU/GPU, but I'm worried that I might not have enough cooling for the rest of the system.  Eventually planning to fill all 5.25" and HDD Bays in the case as well.

 

I attached my plan as it is right now.  What do you guys think, is this going to melt my motherboard?  Or will the radiators not affect me that much?

That's more than enough.

 

even just the rads and one case fan would be good enough. if the radiator fans are pumping air out of the case (which they should always do), they help cooling by getting lots of airflow going.
 

the only reason you might actually need all those fans is if you want positive air pressure in your case to eliminate dust.

Think it's overall good and should cause no real issue unless doing something weird and extreme.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
