So I've come with this idea on how to cool my PC my goal is to maintain the PC cool enough for some periods of 24 hours of gaming and my idea to get that is getting a big case with really good airflow then use a 360mm aio to cool the GPU with the kraken g12, add to the radiator 3 fans on the back then some 2 or 3 fans on the bottom which will blow Air to the GPU too, then use a normal CPU cooler and add 3 more fans on the top to get the air out and the exhaust fan from the back of the PC, is this a great and dumb  idea to cool my PC ?do you think I can maintain my PC between 20-30 degrees?

If this is your working plan, skip the chassis. go with an open air test bench style platform.
add fans to the radiator, use a box style fan for everything else.

I see no reason to do this, however. If you've any level of respectable cooling, it shouldn't matter if it's two hours or 24 when it comes to games, you should be staying cool enough to run normally.

What temperature you'll be running will be entirely relative to your ambient temperatures. If your ambient temps are above 30°, no, you will never achieve anything at or below ambient without more exotic cooling plans.

But why?

 

The cooler on a gpu is plenty good to cool it consistently (if you get a good cooler that is).

A decent air cooler is plenty good for cooling your cpu.

 

I mean if you want big fans just get the h500 mesh.

 

The g12 is a pretty bad solution most of the times as it ONLY cools the gpu die. Everything else has to do with some air and that is very very very often not at all enough. Hence why I do not recommend it in any situation.

 

Also just a sidenote. 24 hour gaming sessions are terrible for you as is basically doing anything for such a period or even staying up so long so ya know don't do that.

Unless you have components that are much cheaper than your proposed cooling system I would say that's a no.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Even witg your setup maintaining literally somewhere around ambient temperature under full load for almost 24 hours is basically impossible, unless you live in Antarctica

Or unless you do a full loop watercooled setup with an absolutely massive external radiator.
