Enough radiator capacity?

Hey guys,

Putting together another water cooled PC and just wanted to check if it'll be running with enough radiator capacity?

CPU - Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
GPU - AMD Radeon 6950 XT

Radiators:

1 x 360mm x 44mm
2 x 240mm X 44mm

Will it need any more as I know the AMD 6950 XT runs very hot and I'm toying with the idea to change the 2 x 240mm rads to 360mm's?

Thanks

That's more than enough you'll be fine

Yeah more than enough. Back in the day I had 480mm of radiators cooling a 3770k and quadfire 7990s no issues

Should be plenty

Though if you already possess the extra
360mm radiators
Never hurts to over spec on the radiators
For lower fan rpm
And future proofing

If not already got the 360mm rads
Then wouldn't spend money
And go with 360mm, 240mm x 2

iirc @Space Monkey you're in Southampton, yes?

I've got loads of spare rads (240, 280 & a couple of 480s) - if you need a couple, let me know.
