[solved]A quick question about Radiator sizes.
I'm looking to build my first liquid-cooled PC, and want to run both the CPU and GPU off a single radiator. With an 8700K and a GTX1080Ti or similar, would a single 360MM EK radiator be enough to keep things cold? Thanks.

TL;DR: yes.

Thanks. Thought so, but wanted to double-check.

240/280/360 is plenty for any stock CPU out there.

But yea I'd go big if going 8700K; those will get hot and suck alot of power.

Just btw.: if you intend to OC heavily, and / or really push the whole system, you should think about push/pull configuration - might get noisy otherwise.

Get 480mm or 540mm rad. Don't forget to grab an industrial chiller to make temp below ambient temp.

You really should just change your Steam name to *Sarcasm* or *Kappa* :steammocking::steamsalty:

But yea, I would ensure you buy a decent Case that will allow plenty of good airflow + 360 Rad placement; some like Corsair 460X or similar layout; doing a Push+Pull with your 360 Rad as well.

If you want to overclock heavily, no. You want roughly a 120 for every stock component, double for overclocked.
So ideally you'd have a pair of 240's.

On the other hand, excessive radiators will allow you to run the fans slower and as such quieter for similar cooling, it's why I've gone with 2 480mm X 35mm rads to cool sli 1080ti and a 7900x, it's alot more than I need, but this way it'll be nice and quiet.

Are you looking at a full custom loop or ek's new aluminium fluid series ?

Edit, you only really need to consider push pull on really thick radiators like 60mm and up.

EK's range was my preffered choice, I'm new to Liquid and don't feel 100% confident taking on Full Custom yet. I'd still do it if that was my best/most cost effective option, but somewhat hesitantly.

An Industrial Chiller? What kind of casual do you think I am? I'm going to fit a complete air-to-water intercooler kit with it's own 580MM core. Only casuals and scrubs have idle temperatures above freezing point. :steamhappy:

Depends; most Cases usually are not designed to house beyond a 240mm Rad at the Top, so that usually means a Case design where 360 can fit in the front. If a Rad is going in the front, then I would generally always do push+pull, so the fans in the inside of the case can still provide good airflow towards the GPU and such.
