I have a custom loop going in my pc with 1 240mm radiator, a cpu block and a gpu block. I've noticed the radiator gets really warm to touch and the tubing itself is really warm as well.

While running Heaven, my GPU sits at 100% load at around 60 degrees whilist my CPU is sitting at 50 degrees at 30 percent load. 

Is this normal?

You would be at the absolute bare minimum require for the amount of rad space for the components so it would be expected/.

You've kinda been answered already but I figured I might as well chime in.

General rule most people follow is 120x120mm of radiator space per component at minimum. So for a CPU + Single GPU loop a 240mm rad is fine!
If you start going for heavy overclocks on both components though then you MAY run into higher temps than you'd like but it'll still be totally fine and definitely still cooler than air!

60c on GPU is great for full load, and 50c for the CPU at 30% is great as well!

If you're still worried about it you can run a Heaven benchmark with Prime95/Aida64 running in the background for about 15 minutes and give us more temperature readings! That'd show us beyond a worst case scenario.

Sounds like im safe for now. My gpu is over clocked to 1175mhz so yeah
