480 enough for cpu and tri fire?

Hi
Currently running i7 2600k @ 4.6 with 6990, in a custom loop- 360 rad and laing ddc in base of TJ 07. I also have a 6970 in Xfire, but that is on air. I want to get it under water and was wondering if a 480 would run the lot, and if the pump would have enough power
Cheers

I would say possible, if you use a 18W DDC with an aftermarket top and have good fans like GTs running at least at 1000RPM or higher with a decent 480 RAD!
ofc the blocks & loop layout will would come in to play as well.

But I would be comfortable with a 240 on the drive bays/bottom/top.

Hi
Pump has an acrylic xtop (I think that's what its called) and running ac Ryan blackfire fans at 2000rpm

Pump would be fine, I have a TJ07 with a 2600K and a 7970 on a 360 and 240 in the bottom.

keep the 360 and add a 240 as well to the loop
