CPU cooler or GPU Cooler first?

[NonTechSavvySheep]

If I want to build a Gaming Desktop. Is GPU cooler more important than CPU cooler? how about putting GPU cooler while keep using stock CPU Cooler?

I watched Recent LinusTechTips Video about GX800 and apparently that gaming laptop cooling solutions focus on the GPU rather than CPU and it will throttle the CPU on certain workload. I thought expensive laptop like this will not have thermal throttling problems on both of them.

Most GPU's come with coolers that are more than adequate for cooling the card. Cooling a desktop and cooling a laptop are very different things in terms of how you would implement the cooling solution. I have an i7 7700k cooled with a 30 dollar hyper 212 evo air cooler and that is more than adequate for keeping the cpu cool at stock clocks, I dont get anywhere near temps where the cpu might start to throttle. For gpu I have an msi gaming 1060 and agin I do not get anywehere near throttling temps on the gpu either.

It seems that desktop has better cooling solution for CPU. Just been wondering what did they do with their i7 7820hk.
For desktop build, do you think that the fan that comes with GPU is adequate? We are talking about non reference GPU. Not the reference GPU.

Aftermarket air cooler for the GPU is MORE than adequate. You are 99.99% likely to hit the card overclocking limit before temp becomes an issue, with the exception of user turning the fan curve all the way down for silence. Truth of the matter is, most high end 2 fans and 3 fans perform fairly similar. The 3 fans usually has the added benefit of running at lower rpm and generating lower noise, but neither ever need to run more than 40-50% at overclocked 100% usage at all. And I'm not kidding, these fans can run very high rpm (7,000 - 8,000) and some of the fans can be as large as 100mm, unlike the fans that you use on CPU cooler.

Even a reference/blower cooler would be adequate if you tune the fan curve up to 70-80%, but it would be exceptionally loud.
