Dual 240mm rads cooling 7700k and 1080ti

Hello there

I bought the ek fluid gaming kit, with an ekstra 240mm rad in a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mAtx TG case.

I have the following setup

Asus Z270G
7700K
16GB
1080TI Reference

I did close off the openings at the top and the front with tape, but i still have a hard time with my temperatures.

I tried a few different combinations.

Front rad intake
Top rad exit
Back fan exit

Front rad intake
Top rad exit
Back fan intake

Front rad intake
Top rad intake
Back fan exit

The last solution gave me the lowest temperatures. It is like the case cant exaust enough hot air.

At stock settings for GPU and CPU in CS GO i reach 35degrees on the GPU and 50-55 on CPU.

Mind you, the CPU is not delidded yet, however the fluid still gets warm and inside the case also warm but not hot.

Stressing both CPU and GPU in AIDA64 i see temepratures for the GPU arround 50-52 but almost 80 on the CPU after maybe 30 min.

How would i proberbly setup my fans and loop order, to be able to archieve cooler cpu temp?

When i take apart the system in a couple of days, i will delid the CPU.

PS. Pardon my english, aint a mother language.

Once you heat up the fluid to above 55-60C, they are less effective cooling the cpu, which leads to warmer fluid, which leads to....

Not sure more than one radiator will have much effect unless they were both mounted externally, or, each fitted with intake fans from outside air. and 3 case exhaust fans, etc...

Most are more than happy with ordinary air cooling with sufficient capacity!

Air is not an option. The aestetics of air is not on par with what i want.. Also i spent some money on the EK stuff and wont just scratch that. The water temp is not 55-60C. More like 30-35 i believe.
