Just a quick one please. I have 1 x 240 & 1 x 120 rads set up now cooling my cpu and gpu. Temps are very good with both gpu and cpu at max load under 50 degrees. Dont have anymore rad space and i want another 980. Should i risk it? Both are stock by the way.
Min rads required?

It will work as the 980's are not cookers, however expect to loose silence a little and gain more fan noise, Personally i would change the 120 out for another 240.
Rule of thumb is to have a 120 rad for each component you are cooling plus an extra. Although 9xx series cards run so cool that it will not really effect your loops cooling potential too much. It should be fine but like Randall said, if you can, I'd swap out the 120 for a 240 just to have the overhead in case you do ever want to up the clocks on your cards.
