General question about liquid cooling

[Mrtrickzter]

so I have been wondering; I plan to upgrade my cooler master 212 evo soon to AIO liquid cooling (size 240mm or above). Gonna place it on the top (I am using define r5 case) and make a pull configuration  to cool down my core i5 6600k. One question that I have been think is, will the air that pull out will also pull away the air that has been exhaust by my gigabyte gaming g1 980 ti? I thought that doing liquid cooling will do a much better not only on my cpu, but also help pull always the hot air inside my case. Thanks alot, looking forward to hear you guys thought.

 

Note: I only do overclock until I got AIO liquid cooling. For now, I'm just gonna stick with stock

Well since that is an open air style cooler on the GPU it will exhaust the heat into the case and the AIO if it's pulling air out will also be removing some of that heat.

if you put the rad as exhaust it will remove heat from the case and still cool your CPU, but if not it can increase case temps a bit but probably not as much as a normal air cooler.

hope this helps

appreciated you guys thoughts. Will 240mm rads enough? Many people had a feeling that 360mm or 420mm might be a bit overkill.

For a CPU AIO yes a 240mm is very capable at cooling a 6600K even with moderately high overclocks. You wouldn't really need a 360mm or more unless you got an expandable AIO or when custom to also include your GPU in that loop.

240 or 280 is more than enough for a single 6600k.

As already been said by W-L and iiNNeX, a 240/280 would be fine.

Still, if you want silence a 360 might be good option as you can lower the fan speed and get the same performance like a 240280 rad.

240 is enough for just a CPU

if you want to have silence it is actually better to have as much rad space as possible because you can turn down the fans rally low and get the same performance
