Do I have enough cooling for this?

I currently have an 1800X OC'D to 4.0ghz @ 1.38V and 2 Asus Strix OC 1080 ti's both OC'D to 2075 Mhz, I'm using a Fractal Define C case and am wanting to water cool, what I know is if a 360mm rad and a 240mm rad be enough to properly cool this system?

Haven't purchased parts yet, will this case have to rad capacity I need or do I need to get a bigger a case?

Would greatly appreciate any input or advice on this and thanks in advance guys!

You could probably cool a good bit more with all that. ;)

i personally dont think it is worth it for the few mhz , why spend so much money on a watercooling set if u wont get the performance out of it, u can rather just upgrade the thing to a threadripper ( for the same money ) basicly... and if u would resell that chip ud probably even have profit compared to buying a watercooling set :v

 

then again, if u want it that bad and u want it for looks aswell.. why not i suppose :P dont forget its still alot of money

 

besides most chips reach there limit and wont benefit too much from watercooling in the end compared to a nh-d15 for example

 

ive had some chips that just wouldnt go above a certain ghz/mhz  example , stuck at 4.5ghz 8350 . stable at 1.4v     and even at 1.6v 4.6ghz wouldnt even be stable :v

I want it mostly for longevity and the looks as well, its my gaming/streaming pc so threadripper isn't anything I'm looking at right now(hopefully zen 2 offers more PCIE Lanes)  Not worried about the cost, just wanted to know if I need a bigger case or if what I have will work.
