Opinions: Overkill or Ample (or both)

Schmo

I have a Corsair Obsidian 1000D case. 

I have two builds in there currently; 

ATX Primary System
i9 10900k OC'd EK Water Block

6900XT OC'd EK Water Block

240 EK CoolStream SE + 4x Corsair ML120 (push/pull)
420 EK CoolStream SE + 6x Corsair ML140 (push/pull)

and 

ITX Secondary System
i7 7700k OC'd EK Water Block
1080 TI OC'd EK Water Block
420 EK CoolStream SE + 6x Corsair ML140 (push/pull)

 

I want to run both builds overclocked (nothing crazy, just a stable OC) while keeping the fan rpm's low and quiet. Question is, what sort of temps am I likely to get? I've got all the parts but have yet to assemble the loop. I appreciate that the primary build has more than enough cooling, its more for aesthetics than practicality.

Well I mean on one hand, It's A 1000D. Huge, sure, but sh*t airflow on it's own. On the other hand, Looks like you can just afford to brute force through it. Honestly, I doubt you'd  be cracking 60c on any components at their absolute hottest, even with the fans optimized for some pretty serious silence and some oc's going (maybe like 5/5.1 ghz on the 10900k, 4.9/5.0ghz on the 7700k, then I dunno honestly for the gpus lol) 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Agreed, you should be A-OK for everything since you'll be able to brute force it.
