H240X enough to cool a GTX980 and a 4690K?


Title says it^ basiclly will a 280RAD be enough for a 4670K and a 980?

 

EDİT: Or should i just get another 240/360 rad and add the Motherboard and ram to the loop as well?

Rule of thumb is 120mm per component, but this is 140mm, so I would say yes? I have no proof so I can't say for sure. However most DIY Rads are thicker than common AIO rads, so this is tricky, maybe a watercooling expert will come along and answer.

It's more like 120 per component + 120 for headroom , unless you want your gpu and cpu @ 80 degrees

Not really, my old AIO 120mm thin rad would keep my 8320 under control OC'ed to 4.4 So I'd would imagine a thin 280 would fare pretty decently. IDK, I don't have enough experience in this department.

Whatever , i'd say minimum 240 + 120 for cpu and gpu , or a Monsta 240 one ( those things can cool a volcano ) .

 

But since it's a 4670k and a maxwell gpu i could work since they are very efficient parts

Also , do you already have the 4670k , because i'd suggest getting the 4690k for even better temps

Yes it is enough, but the point of WC is having very low temperatures, to remove the heat factor from your rig. With this setup you will have a decently cooled system but by no means "overkill cool", just functional. Get another radiator, the pump on the X240 should be pretty much enough, you are already spending money on tubing fittings and a GPU block, might as well throw in a rad.
