Need help with radioators!

[relwof]

I have just built my new system and it constains a quad EKWB radiator with 4 af120 corsair fans.

I need to cool my i7 4930k, my 2 evga 980s and my Asus rampage IV black edition motherboard. Will this radiator work well enough?

I have 5 other fans in the system too, but I need to know as I have bought at 140mm radiator and it doesn't fit in the back of my corair 900D. I had one that fitted but the threads were broken and I had to send it back

Please helppp!!

A single quad radiator is very unlikely to be enough to cool that much hardware to a respectable level (by water cooling standards that is) I would imagine you would be well within safe operating temperatures (i would be more surprised if you werent) but it wont leave you much if any headroom to overclock

Hello, Tom.

I think, 1 quad + 1 dual 140mm should be enough. I guess, you've mounted quad radi in bottom, so you should have space in front of case for one 280 mm radi.

EDIT: can u please provide a photo, it would be easier to help.

How thick is the rad?

I just would like to know if the quad rad will be enough as the 140 doesn't fit in the case

xToFxREAPER said everything correctly.

It's better to add dual 140mm or even tripple radi in front to have quiet performance and headroom for overclock.

How thick is the rad?

About 8 cm (the quad)

one thick quad will be perfectly fine.

Which radiator is it exactly? Coolstream PE? Coolstream XTX? If you have the slim 480 you will be within safe temp range but probably wont get the overclocking headroom you'd expect from a custom loop. If you have one of the thicker rads you'll be perfectly fine. I personally would add another 240 or 280 just so the 900D doesnt look so empty

So my thick quad rad will be able to cool

my motherboard

my cpu

my two GTX 980s

Its the XTX I think

You're good then.

 

Edit: You seriously need to do somethign about your cable management

You're good then.

thank you very much

You haven't seen my cases inside lol

It really makes people frustrated about cable management. There isn't any I mean.

Oh, don't worry =D I removed a GPU so there was GPU cables evereywhere =D
