Will a single slim 240 radiator be able to cool both gpu and cpu

Go to solution Solved by Mick Naughty,

Think jay showed his results of a smiliar config. I use a 360 for 3 components so you could get away with 2 on that rad. Wouldn't be ideal or that great of temps. 

My next build im planning to do is in an Ncase m1, i plan to remove the side and create a window and use the only 240 mount inside the case to cool a custom cpu and gpu loop.

 

I know a single EKWB slim 240 radiator will fit, but i'd like experienced water coolers to give insight about whether or not it will be able to handle around 300-400w of heat from components (cpu+gpu) 

I dont need overclocking headroom and i dont expect it to run seriously cool, im looking for acceptable levels. 

 

As a side note, i want to do custom loop because it looks cool and is appealing to me with such a tiny case, plus it'll be quieter than air cooling with a cpu fan + gpu blower

Not decided yet but it will be around 400w of heat output which is based on something like an 7700k +1070 

(I'll be considering ryzen and vega when they get released)

I decided to go with an EKWB 360 for my cpu and gpu. I wanted something above what I needed so the fans can run slower to achieve better Temps. That's my thought on it anyway.
