Do i need more radiators?

Hi all,

Will one 360 rad with 3 GT fans be adequate to cool an i7 3820 and 680gtx?

General rule is 120.1 rad per component + 1 more for temps, in which case a 360 would be enough.

If you want to be sure though using the rad stats from somewhere like martins labs you can roughly work out the heat disipation of the rad with a certain rpm of fan. If that figure is more than the heat your cpu and gpu will put in then all is good

As people have said it will work no problem, however how fast (noisey) you have to run the fans will depend greatly on which 360 rad it is.

is it the denser the fins, the faster fans should be used?
