[SOLVED] Suggestion regarding the reservoir size ?

[StZero]

Hi guys,
Finally got my hands on a 3080ti, and ready to build a new system. Here is what I plan to buy so far.

• EK-Quantum FE 3080 Waterblock
• EK-Velocity For AM4 CPU
• EK SE 360 Radiator
• EK SE 240 Radiator

The case is Lianli PC-O11 XL.

Since it is my first full DIY water cooling system, I was wondering if there a volume/size requirement for the reservoir?
I was thinking to go with the smallest EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 120 with D5 pump. Does it fit with my current planned 360+240 radiator fitting?
Or the volume/size does not matter, only the flow speed should be considered.

volume/size doesnt matter, its just water reserve storage...water will evaporate over time...so this is just backup water

Correct, reservoir size does not impact cooling potential, it only impacts your initial startup temps until equilibrium is reached.
