I've got this S340 Elite with a Kraken X61 mounted on the front.

I already have a 6600k and I plan on overclocking for certain games.

I plan on buying a 1070, and I plan on later buying a second to run in SLI.

Would a blower style cooler be ideal in this situation?

Perhaps if I had an air cooler instead of the X61, I could just pull in cold air without heating it over the rad. In that situation, an after-market, open-air GPU cooler would make more sense. As it stands right now, I'm concerned about potential thermal throttling.

Or is it a moot point, and should I not be worried about thermal throttling at all? Thanks for your help, guys.
 
Solution
1070 runs cooler than comparable 9xx cards, you'll probably be OK with that setup but I'd never settle for that type of cooling where hot air is turned loose in the case.
Now, air coming thru the radiator is nowhere as worm as processor itself so that may not make much difference.
