Enough Airflow for GPU in High-End-Build?

Hey there,

so I am planning a High-End-Build:

 

  Product Price
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K 359,45 €
Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 159,85 €
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z270F 177,85 €
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3000 308,63 €
GPU: 11GB Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ROG Strix OC 869,00 €
Case: NZXT Source S340 Elite 99,45 €
PSU: 750 Watt Corsair RMx Series RM750x Modular 80+ Gold 109,85 €
Storage: 256GB Samsung SM961 M.2 127,85 €
HDD: 2000GB Seagate Desktop HDD 69,85 €
LED: PHANTEKS RGB
LED-Stip Combo Set 		14,90 €
Fan: Aer, RGB LED-Lüfter mit HUE+ LED-Controller - 140mm 89,90 €
SUM 2.386,58 €

 

But I have one concern, when I mount the rad in the front with a push/pull config, will there be enough airflow to cool the 1080 Ti?

I want to use the 2 Fans in the Top left corner to exhaust.

 

Jayztwocents said that the thermal of this perticular 1080 Ti are impressiv, but he tested on an open-air-testbench, so what about a closed case

with a non blower-style-Graphics Card?

 

I hope you can help me ^^

 

Greeting

Baka

 

P.S.: If you see something off in this build feel free to mention it ^^

why not get a case that supports a rad on the top and do it that way?

I'm building it for a friend and he is a bit picky about the Case... 

And a really big case would be overkill and would seem empty I think...

I'd say it's enough. the CPU is cooled by an AIO liquid cooler, so all those case fans only need to exhaust heat from a 1080ti.

Luke did a video on this... Turns out pc's dont actaully create that much heat (Which makes sence, given that even a high end pc like yours will counsume only 400w at full load), and with the execption of extreme situations, airflow makes almost no difference.

You're fine.

oh, if thats the case (see what i did there) then the config you built for him will be fine.
