im trying to see how many radiators i would need, will be cooling evga 980ti classified and i5-6600k, also what kind of pump i should get and how many radiators i should use. also my case is the phanteks eclipse p400s. Manual says i can have a 120 in rear a 280 in the front. would that be enough to keep the system cool?

 
Solution
Yes it can dissipate the heat. Who said that?? 240 mm radiator for cpu and 120 mm for the gpu will be enough. I'm using just 240 mm radiator for 4690k and gtx 970 and heat is around 29 30 degree, in load 45 max 48
use all of your radiator slots, 120 mm and 240 mm. Second 980ti is big card so needed more cooling, 2 radiator enough and the pump should be DDC or D5 or a pump pumps more than 500 l/h. And you can buy a reservoir top for pump or seperate.
 


so a 280 front rad and a 120mm rear will be enough for the 98ti and i5-6600k, and ill prob get a pump res combo
 

Yes it would be great
