Considering that the EVGA 980 with the single 120mm rad runs 55 degrees max when pushing overclocks (1550-1600mhz). Considering that, will a 480mm rad be enough to cool 4 Titan Xs?

you need 120mm of radiator per component, so a quad rad for 4gpus+ a cpu would cut it close unless its one of those 80mm thick rads

The rads will be an XSPC RX480 (60mm thick) and there will be 2 rads, 1 480mm for CPU and 1 480mm for quad GPUs

Sounds like it would be plenty, that's the setup that JayzTwoCents has currently, except with only 3 Titan X's. Nevermind, JayZTwoCents has a 560 rad for his GPUs. Although he does have a 480 for the CPU.

Intel Core i7-5820K (4.4 GHz) | Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB  | 2x 360mm Custom Loop (Noctua iPPC) | ASRock X99 Extreme6 | Samsung 840 EVO 250GB | Fractal Design Define S | Corsair HX750 | Windows 10 | Corsair M65 RGB PRO | Corsair K70 RGB LUX (CherryMX Brown) | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro & Creative Sound Blaster Z | Nexus 6P (32GB Aluminium) | Check out my setup: Project Kalte Here!

dual loop? I'd just go single with redundancy.

I'd only go 3 cards also.

 

 It should be fine if you go ahead and do it.
