60mm 360mm rad enough?

This may be a dumb/simple question, but I'm planning on building a PC for gaming/workstation that will last me a long time.  I'm looking at using an i9-7900X and a GTX 1080 TI.  Would a 60mm thick, 360mm long radiator be enough to keep the components cool?  Or do I need more? Thanks!

Is the 7900X delidded (or will it be)? Are you overclocking it and if so how far?

--I've got a dedicated 40mm 480mm rad for mine and delidded and overclocked to 4.6GHz at 1.225v and it stays about 70C or below at full 100% load on AIDA64.

--One thing I will note is that I don't have SP optimized fans and I run my fans a bit on the quiet side (~75% max)

How far do you plan to OC the 1080Ti as well?

What temps do you deem "cool"?

Yes that would be adequate but probably not silent under load, your better off to get longer thinner rads or more radiators in general than a single extra thick one.

Is a fan with 2.2 mm/H2O enough for a push configuration on a 60mm thick rad? Or do I need push/pull?  Or something closer to 2.5/3.0mm H2O?

It depends on the radiator used and the fin density (FPI) most are pretty low at 60mm thick so even single side push or pull will suffice.

No dust filters, it is an open-air case.  Sorry for such a late reply; I was at a weekend rock festival.

360 is enough, but with OC on the i9-7900X you will definetly need more rads.
