Hi everyone,

I'm about to watercool a setup with 3770K and a couple of 670's in SLI. I'm using the Switch 810, and i have the RX360 with scythe gentle typhoons, all will be pulling. They will sit at the top of the case.
Pump: D5.
Res: EK multiport, X2 or X3, doesnt really matter.
Will this be enough for an overclocked setup? Will i need to add a second 240 rad?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes one more 240 will do it.
The 360 would be close without overclocking.

Should be ok, but I typically like throwing in a second rad when you have two GPU's and a CPU. Up to you though. Pick good waterblocks with high flow and some larger tubing. I'd stay away from dual pass radiators, since the flow may be restrictive with your current setup. I would go for a speedy high volume loop rather than an efficient, restricted loop with a multi-pass rad.

Even though its a 360x62mm^2 rad? I saw setups with EX360 and an EX240, and thats a bit less rad space then one RX360. Isn't the total rad space what's important when calculating this? I don't want to add an extra 240 mostly because it really makes everything much tighter inside the case.

Thanks for the reply, btw.

I'll be using XSPC raystorm, and 1/2" x 5/8" tubing, so flow should be good. If i'll add a second rad it would probably be be the Alphacool XT45 240mm. I would still like to avoid this.
