Can an entry level open loop handle high end CPU & GPU?

[KhaderKh]

Hi,

Currently I have entry level open loop cooling which is EK S360 Classic kit handling my 9700K at 5.2ghz very well.

 

Yesterday EKWB launched water block for my Aorus 6800xt which can easily draw > 300w and my CPU usually draws 70w to 100w in games.

 

So total of around 350w to 450w power draw from CPU and GPU.

 

I dont want to get the block which will cost around 300USD with delivery and not get the temps expected.

 

Currently my GPU rarely reaches 70c on stock fan curve which is around 45%.

Thanks

A 360mm rad should easily be capable of cooling your system.

 

Rule of thumb is basically 120mm worth of rad for each part. Plus 120mm if you intend to overclock. Anything you add above that will help with noise.
