Just wondering what's the recommended size rad for a single GPU. Got a gtx 970 and it's hottest part of my system. I'd like to do a custom loop as a fun project and a bit of overclocking. Cpu is doing just fine on air right now and case is mATX so a small loop is really all that would fit.

Will a 120 rad (probably thicker if I can find one) be enough for this?

On air my card is high 60's ℃ at stock.

240mm (120mm would be fine but a bit extra headroom for OCing is good)

120mm would be fine; the general rule is 120mm or more per processor in the loop

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo
