Full loop advice

heres an image if it works, running a combined OCCT, cpu+ram+light vga usage, for a little 9600x it was pulling 150w! T_sensor is water temp, closed case with fans at around 65%

 
as stated i like a bit of benching, but most are component dependent, rarely is vga and cpu used at full whack together and if they are its generally a lighter load on the cpu. So with that in mind i may scrap dual loop idea, that would save me£150, been looking at the XL evo version of my case, more room, flexibility and bit better airflow especially if i got the front grill also.
will 1x D5 cope though with 3 rads and 3 waterblocks??

One d5 will certainly cope with
Cpu block, gpu block
And 3 radiators i have ran that before
With one d5
Never watercooled my ram but am guessing
Those will be simple in and out blocks
So shouldn't add too much flow restriction

Looks like 30c for your coolant
In that picture?
Its hard to judge how much it would rise
Adding the gpu to the loop
Because you're stressing components in occt
I dont do that I prefer real life testing like gaming etc
So it's hard to compare
But my 3080ti is 300w and 5950x probably pulls similar
To that 150w
Probably more if it was using all cores with pbo enabled
But games dont usually use all the 16 cores
Your gpu probably pulls 50w more than mine
Maybe a bit more if you're overclocking it
My 3080ti i can overclock without upping power limit
Or core voltage
So my loop is around 450w while gaming
And it's an 011d xl case With d5 front distro

Your cpu is designed to run hotter than my 5950x
But in that occt picture nothing stands out
As being a bad temperature
Though I am looking on a small screen
 
yeah nothing complex regards ram block, 9600x is just a practice chip till either 9850x3d or 9950x3d2, I may just get the 8core if I end up with new case and bits. At stock or just above for gaming 3x 360 x 45 rads will be plenty/overkill but for the other hobby we'll see how that goes. 1st time i tried raising power limits on gpu just for a quick bench, 560w on timespy! https://www.3dmark.com/spy/60876538 not bad on air, wont push any more till its under water!!
this is screen after 2 hours of TM5 stability testing, water 33c max dimms 34c
