Enough radiators?

[toxicity]

Hello everybody i got a question

Will a 360mm radiator and a 240mm be enough to cool the CPU and 2x GPU?

 

The 360 is a XSPC EX360

The 240 is a XSPC RX240

 

I'm thinking the loop will go like this, unless you got any suggestions or improvements

res/pump > CPU > 360mm rad > 2x GPU > 240mm rad > res/pump

Kinda doubt it, but Im not even really an rookie at it, so don't rely on my advice.

Why not have the 360 after the 2 GPUs? They would create more heat and a 240 would be enough for a high OC on the CPU. 

It also depends on the GPUs, they could be 290Xs, they could be 560s.

Yep, that's plenty

 

and loop order doesn't matter, res before pump and do the rest to make the runs as short as possible.

Will 2x Asus R9 280x perform better than a single EVGA GTX 780?

Yes but if you can get a 780, you'll just regret buying 2 280x's.

Btw, get EVGA's 780 with a waterblock already attached to it, it's EPIC!

Replying from phone so I can't exactly tell but a 240 and 360 will cool a CPU and 2x GPUs just fine. It depends on the CPU, GPUs and what you're doing with them. Eg the 5ghz AMD and 2x 290Xs? No. But a 4770 and 2x 280Xs I don't see why not. A minimum rule I was told was a 240 + 120 for each additional hot component. As I can't see your signature if you have on but if you don't have a crazy overclock or running 290/290Xs in my opinion a 360 and 240 would be fine.

sure they will when it comes to fps, but have fun with the micro-stuttering and compatibility issues I hear crossfire is supposed to work much better on the Hawaii cards since they appear to have hardware-level frame pacing built in, but the 280X is a rebranded 7970 and those cards where notorious for the terrible crossfire-experience they offered. Drivers have certainly improved over time, but you're most likely still going to have issues.

Yeah it'll be enough, the general rule is 1 120mm rad per component.
