Do I need a bigger radiator?

Hello folks!

 

I need some advice I want to water cool both my CPU Ryzen 5600x and GPU EVGA RTX 3080ti FTW3  they will be running in the same loop with 1 pump and 1 radiator the size of the radiator is a CL360 64mm radiator. I guess the question would be do I need a bigger radiator to cool both in the same loop or should I be fine with that radiator?   

 

I do not overclock my cpu or gpu at all and just run them out of the box.

if they aren't overclocked then i imagine that rad would be fine as they won't be generating any amount of heat an air cooler couldn't handle.

Rad is fine, however requires more pressure to perform the best than some slimmer, better rads. Just keep that in mind.

Should be fine, I've ran an OCed 6950X and 2060 Super off a single slim 360 (so hotter CPU and cooler GPU, probably around the same heat output). As @Motifatorpointed out, that rad is explicitely "Built for 120mm high-static pressure fans", so you'll want a set of those. My reccomendation is always Noctuas, NF-F12s if you want the more premium ones, or redux NF-P12s. I use the Redux fans as I find them quieter.

Thanks for the input! I actually have some corsair ML120 elite RGB fans for this radiator not sure how well they will work for it though since its my first time using the fans

depends on yer ambient temp, single 360 don't work in my country (ambient = 33c)

oh btw, 2x 30mm 360 rad > 1x 60mm 360 rad
