Depends on what you want your temps to be and if you're going to be overclocking.

Personally, I would add another 120 or maybe even a 240. But that would depend on how YOU want your temperatures to be, especially if the above applies.

You ask is 1 rad enough? I reply, "not for me unless it was much bigger than 120.3"

The 7970's are pretty hot around 230 tdp each. So I would not run those and your CPU on a 120.3. You may get away with it if you have powerful fans in push/pull but it would be very loud and possibly no improvement over air. Suggest a total of 120.5 if you can fit it (one 120.3 and one 120.2). You may get by with one 120.4 but with more noise. You also want low resistance blocks for your VGA cards so the XSPC pump can maintain your flow-rate.

If it was me, I would go custom with that heat load. Good luck. smile.gif

I would get the rx360 rad and that should be fine. You have to realize that the newer gpus consume less heat over previous generations.
Example I am using an EX rad with 2000rpm fans cooling a 3570k and gtx670. Temps are just fine.
XSPC pump is not that strong when you start adding additional blocks.

Check out the XSPC Raystorm kit
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33549
then all you would need is 4 barbs or compression fittings. Then just get some exra tubing and two gpu blocks

Simple answer: Nope. Not enough for me. I would add a 120 or 240.

There is no reason what so ever to add another rad if he gets an rx360.
My gpu on a ex240 rad cooling a 3570 and gtx670. Max load is 46-50 degrees max load at 1.213 volt(bios modded) for the gpu

OCing does not make temps rise it is the amount of volts you use that raises the temps.

on a slight overclock, that'll be fine. once youy start to increase to 4.2+ your temps will rise. and
depending on comfort level on higher temps, you might look into a 240 add-on radiator.
usually i want to build in some headroom in temperature as the cooling side running over 60°
(for me...) defeats the water cooling reason.. lower operating temperatures. on a ambient
of 30° keeping the temps 55° under load is my goal and on a bonzai run 5.0+ @ 80° for 60min
would be my goal. i can run a NH-D14 4.9 @ 92° for 60min for my benchmark. (this is all on
a i5-2550k not 2011).

92°? o.O for 60min!? O.O

I do not wish that kind of punishment on any cpu! tongue.gif

I did accidentally pump 1.85v into my poor 2500k and it booted all the way into windows. I was just then learning to how to tune for V offset. headscratch.gif
