water cooling Is a 480MM rad enough for my next upgrade?

[Sexy_potato]

I wish to upgrade my computer's water cooling loop by having my 3090 founders water cooled and have my room not turn into a furnace or at least a nice cosmetic water-cooled GPU. I'm unsure if my CPU will get hot because of my GPU and/or be enough cooling for them both.

 

my spec's 

CPU: I7 12700k won't overclock unless its becoming old
GPU: 3090 Founders
RAM: 2X16GB's 5200mhz
Power Supply: 1200 Watt platinum 
Pump: Pacific PR22-D5 Plus
CPU block: Hydro X series XC5 RGB PRO

Your room will still be equally hot. The heat generated wont change in any way. If a card generates 300w of heat it will generate 300w of heat no matter what type of cooling is used.

 

Your cpu will be hotter but this combo has been done multiple times before on a 360 rad and it's fine.

You really don't need that much cooling for a non overclocked 12700k, even a 280mm rad will do

For the GPU a 360mm will be ok as well

Dont need much for a 3090. Mine tends to sit at 39-42c. Im sure it could be more in a hot house. Ran two 280's but added a third back into the loop again.
It will be fine as it, but your not knowing your ideal temps, I couldnt say. 
Being me, if my case was that large, I'd have more.

before u grab another 480 rad

if yer mobo has a 2pin temp sensor header or if you have a corsair commander unit

i would grab a temp sensor fitting

 

that way you'll know your delta between coolant & ambient air

personally i'm using the temp sensor fitting from my corsair xd5 (already swap pump housing) with my aquacomputer quadro

Aquasuite is simply the best and I chucked that piece of crap Corsair Commander Pro in the parts bin. I never got it to not conflict with HWInfo64 even with the proper setting changes, etc.

 

I just installed a Highflow Next in the loop to go with my Octo and being able to set fan curves based on coolant temp is a game changer.
