Is this enough?

Go to solution Solved by Valkyrie Lenneth,

no overclocking... easy even stock cooler works then

 

 

overclocking,  no u wont get far

 

please dont add gpus to a loop with one 140mm rad  ,  have a 360rad(120mm fans) or doublerad(240/280mm) at the minimum :P ( single 360 aint even good for gpu + cpu btw )

Will a 140mm radiator with a noctua fan be enough to cool a 5820k using a good water block. (No overclocking)

Also would I be able to add my GPU into the loop with only one 140mm radiator?

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

Enough for 5820K? Yes

Idk about adding in the GPU, doesnt sound like something you should do tho

You typically want 120mm's of radiator for every heat producing component you add into your loop. Performance wouldn't necessarily be horrendous but you wouldn't be at the temperatures you'd like. If you plan on adding a GPU into the loop find away to add another radiator somewhere.

yep, round about 120mm per component. some count the mobo, some dont.

A single 120 is capable of cooling the R9 295x2, and that is a fire spiter (if were to be air cooled). With power consumption and heat output improving in each generation of CPU's and GPU's 240 / 280mm's of radiator should be capable of adequately cooling most CPU / GPU combos.

u need to keep thickness in mind aswell, and no a single 120mm rad wouldnt be able to handle a OC proper... and adding a gpu to that will peak it pretty easy aswell ( also on stock )

 

thin rads will be a big no and thick rads will limit themselfs easily aswell on cpu + gpu  @ 120mm/140mm
