360mm and 240mm rad to cool 3900x and Vega 64 with LC bios

Hello.,

 

I have a Define R6 and will swap my old termaltake rad for a new one.

 

Do I go with Black Ice rad

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Ice-HWL-R103-Nemesis-Radiator/dp/B01636K0VS

 

I was going to put the 360mm on the top and the 240mm on the front (this one to make it easy to connect it all).

 

Or do I go with 360mm or even diferent rads, EK maybe?

 

Thanks in Advanced

GTS rads are noice (may want to look at other places to buy WC parts though, Amazon doesn't always have the best pricing). 360 + 240 should be fine for your config, two 360GTS rads keep my 5960X and RVII under control and that's a much hotter combo.

i have the rad that was on this case atm lol.

 

But will upgrade the 1600 at 4ghz to a 3900x and I think this cant deal with it. Even now the 1600 with the vega get to 60c.

Well below safe max temps (around 85C is still fine for a V64), but yeah that's hotter than you want on water. The GTS rads are preeetty much the best out there for slim rads AFAIK, shouldn't have any issues with them.
