Hi everyone,
I've come here because I haven't find any clear answer about watercooling especially on an i7 6700k.
So here's what I wish to do, I will make a Ncase M1 with watercooling on cpu and gpu...

The loop will be like this if possible :

M1 NCase reservoir -> Laing Pump DDC 3.2 PWM on the rear bottom -> 980ti with EK waterblock -> 240 rad with EK vardar f4 120 ER on side -> i7 6700k with EK-FB Asus M8I waterblock -> 120 rad with slim fan on front bottom -> back to reservoir.

The rads will be from EK, the PE240 and SE120.

I know it exists some build with two 240 rads and with a cpu pomp waterblock (which isn't what i want).

My question is, will it be okay in this way ? Is the 120 plus 240 enough to cool both cpu and gpu without any OC ?

Maybe if it's not enough, I'll just have to stick with two 240 and I'll put the pomp outside with reservoir on it.

Thank you guys for your help.

As asked from some followers, here is all the parts I'll use for my build (sorry to put french websites) :
- Reservoir : http://www.frozenqshop.com/m1-ncase-reservoir/
- Pump : http://www.docmicro.com/watercooling_pompes-laing_Laing-Pompe-DDC-3-2-PWM-12-Volts_11789.html (still checking about an another top such as Alphacool ones)
- CPU : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00192586.html
- CPU waterblock : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fb-asus-m8i-monoblock-acetal-nickel
- GPU : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00197771.html
- GPU waterblock : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-titan-x-acetal-nickel with Backplate from same brand
- Motherboard : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00197757.html
- Memory : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00194515.html
- Power supply : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00173058.html (I'm waiting to look for the futur Corsair SF600)
- Side rad : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-pe-240-dual
- Fan for side rad : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-vardar-f4-120er-2200rpm
- Front bottom rad : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-se-120-slim-single
- Fan for bottom rad : slim fan (haven't checked yet)
- Tube : https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-tube-zmt-matte-black-15-9-9-5mm (still checking if it's the good solution for my build)

By the way, it'll be my first watercooling... hope I can make it ^^.

I don't think you should run anything more than one 240mm off a cpu block pump. A reservoir/pump combo will be better. If you do want to run the CPU and the GPU off one loop, I would make sure to run the gpu through first, then the cpu, because you want to keep the GPU as cool as possible. Another option would be to run multiple loops.

What DDC pump are you using that is a pump/CPU block - is it the older Swiftech kit with the pump on top of the block?

Otherwise, I don't think there are too many DDC pump/block combos out there at this point in time. Most of the DDC pump offerings are either integrated into a reservoir combo, onto a radiator (like in the EK Predator or Swiftech Edge) or just a standalone pump.

I just did a Google search on that case - very nice looking, but you will need to think small and compact. I did my build inside a Corsair 250D mITX case and it has a CPU+GPU, 240 slim rad and 140 rad with an EK bay res DDC. (link below in my signature)

Can you link your watercooling components? You are really going to need to be conscious of your radiator and fan thicknesses in a case like that. It can be done but will take some good planning.
