Sufficient rad space?

[MorganO]

looking to custom loop my computer would

a single 30mm thick 360 radiator be enough to cool an 1800x at 3.9GHZ at 1.35v, and a 1080ti, or would I need more rad space.

my 1800x is cooled by fractal S36 KELVIN cooler with load temps being about 55c and my 1080ti is cooled by a 120mm AIO, and never exceeds 50c

I'm going custom loop because it looks nicer.

case I use is the phanteks enthoo evolve TG

I have been experimenting with cases and have a similar setup.  

 

6850K with a 1080Ti.   

 

With a single EK 360PE I was getting temps in the high 50s/low 60 on CPU and GPU at full gaming load in my 570X.   

 

The problem you are going to have is the case.  The Evolv is not an acceptable Water cooling case.  Airflow to the Rads is far too limited.  I tried a water cooling loop in one a while back and the temps got so high that it melted the PETG tubing.

yes the case has some pretty big flaws but its so pretty

idk alternatives really, kinda want a really big 480mm rad or 2 (ultra low noise/temps)

alternative cases?

If you want to stay in that form factor I have become a big fan of the Corsair 570X.   It does have it's own flaws but temps have been good even with my setup.  

 

For larger rads you have good options still but in general they are much larger cases.   I think a Define S may handle a 480 but can't think of any others that dont' go up to full tower ATX.

i dont mind a full tower tbh
