Evolv X dual system watercooling advice

Hi guys, just trying to sort out temps of this damn 3950X CPU and and a sizzling 1080ti. Temps are always around the 60° for the CPU with an 8% load. This is super toasty I know. I have a Kraken x72 in there which isnt up to par from my experience.

The ASUS 1080ti Turbo is aircooled and never comes below 70°. There is sufficient air movement in the case, but the GPU is a single fan one which pushes air out the back.

I have 2 systems in there and I want to retain both of them while cooling the main heavy lifting rig with watercooling. The ITX can remain air cooled, no heavy lifting needed on that. I am very new to water cooling and I have not even tried soft tubing yet. I was hoping someone who has some experience could guide me on what kit I could aim for?

I have found a waterblock for the asus 1080ti turbo on aliexpress and I can go ahead and purchase that, it seems like a safe bet, but the other kit I need help with. Has anyone here done watercooling with 2 systems in the evolv x?

Just out of interest how have you powered both systems in this case? Did you need to buy one of those Revolt X PSU's or can you fit 2 PSUs in?

Yes i have one of those revolt x PSUs. 1200w platinum.

THe case can fit 2 PSUs by the way, you just need to be a bit creative and have something to anchor the 2nd PSU down.

There is also another product that Phanteks made, that splits the power of One PSU to 2 PSUs. like an adapter.

Yes i have one of those as I used to run 2 systems in the Enthoo Mini XL. That case has mounting points for 2 PSUs but the second was only SFX. The Evolve X looks a hundred times better though and I've been tempted to get one. I just couldn't work out how best to power 2 systems without buying that ridiculous power supply.
