200mm radiators?

[Daringpear]

If the bitfenix Phenom M supports a 200mm fan, does that automatically mean that is supports a single 200mm radiator (the Phobya Xtreme 200)? If so, would that radiator be enough to cool 2 gtx 1070's in sli?

probably not, especially if you want to overclock

i wouldnt bother, what 1070s have you got? i have 970 sli and have no issues with temps with their stock coolers. (msi)

It's more of an issue with space than anything else. I've been thinking of buying a new computer, and I want 2 gpus and an extra expansion slot. The only way to do this with an matx motherboard, is to have the 2 gpus running on single-slot waterblocks.

It is recommended to have 120mm of space per component before any overclocks. An addition 120mm should ensure overclock stability. So in your case if you want to overclock just the 2 gpus and no CPU in the loop, that would ideally  be 2x 240mm radiators or at bare minimum a single 360. Otherwise the benefits of going custom loop will just not be worth it over lets say an AIO system like EVGA Hybrid, MSI Seahawk and the likes.

a 200x200mm rad is about the same as a 280x140mm rad, (40,000mm² vs 39,200mm²)  you could do it but your liquid temps would be pretty high when running a solid load and you'd need a lot of airflow to get somewhat decent temps.  and being 45mm thick with 12 fins per inch, you'll only get so much heat out of the phobya

Its not the same. Because there isn't any good 200mm fans. 2x120x60 is better than this.

I am actually using a phobya 200x200 rad and a 280x140 rad in my loop, cooling a gtx 1080 and a 9600k. my temps are very good, neither go over 52c gaming.
