Figuring out how much rad space I need?

[Meladath]

Hey guys, I am running a 4670k and 2 280Xs, working it out to be around 616W TDP. Would it be possible to fit enough rads in my case (R4) to cool it sufficiently?

I think the best I can get in here is a 60MM 280 in the front, a 30MM 280 in the top and a 30MM 140 on the back (All physical restrictions ofc, this case is only mid tower, albeit larger than most in this range).

I may be able to remove the HDD cage entirely (ore move it more towards the PSU) and fit a thicker rad in the front, although then I have to figure out where to put those.

Since it's pretty much impossible to find out any actual numbers on the internet for how much rad's TDP is, I figure the best place to ask is here.

Thanks guys.

don't bother with the single 120/140 rads. they just make your rig look less tidy.
can you do any modding? if you drill some new holes in the top so that the radiator is closer to the window side you could fit a thicker rad

i think you could get away with 30mm and 60mm, although with a thicker rad in the top you could also run your fans on a lower voltage

Typically here we would advise a 60mm thick 240mm and a 60mm thick 360mm rad (or equivalent), for a cpu + dual GPU loop

this is to allow the use of quiet fans and therefore have quiet operation.

I can't think of good 140mm rad fans either, i have a 60mm thick rad with push pull sharkloon fans but when using 7v reducers fo quiet operation they don't push air very well. PLEASE CORSAIR MAKE SP140 fans.

Rad TDP depends on the fans used and pumping power, so you can't really find data for that.

here is a 80mm thick 280mm radiator here. if you can fit it into the front of the case it would work well (alongside an other rad at the top).
