Guys, as you see ill build a water-cooled system for these candies:):
Rampage extreme 3 with ek full-cover block, 980x with ek supreme hf and one 580gtx with ek block and backplate,
im thinking running the 980x @ around 4geez and nothing more.
The question is if i am ok with one thermochill 360...

Not enough you should be at least one radiator :wave:

It will be enough most likely. The 980x doesn't require a lot of volts for 4ghz... so I think the rad is good enough to cool down everything effectively.

Should be enough using push/pull, temps wont be as good as using 2x rads but hey you will be fine..
I have almot the same setup, that is R3E with EK full cover and 980X @ 4272 (1,375 volts), just have 480gtx with AC block and the main difference is that I got PA120.4 in push with shroud (4x GT1850). I am crunching WCG/GPUGrid 24/7 and CPU stays around 55 degrees, while GPU is around 45. If I am to believe my temp sensors, then the ambient is at 26 degrees, while fluid temperature is at 31. I know this is not exaclty same setup, but since my GPU pushes out more heat, I hope it can be helpful.

I think that your 480gtx runs a bit hotter and then im not gonna crunch with this system and even with one 120.3 i think ill be fine with one, at least ill start with one and we will see :D
Guys, thanks for your help:)

Wow those are very good temps! Is that with your fans running full speed, so 1800 rpm? How loud are they at full speed with the Thermochill radiator? I am considering getting them (with the same radiator). Moving from external (Mo-RA 2) to internal.

Since my systems consist of Lian Li T60 bench tables and external radiators, I am actually running fans @ 11V, as at this voltage I am very pleased with noise levels. When compared to i7 950 @ 4Ghz (1.3V) H70 with fans @7V and 580gtx stock, which I use in other crunching rig, the P120.4 setup is extremely silent.
Btw regarding temperaturs, please note that crunching, even with 100% load, is not as stressfull as LinX and actually in LinX my CPU temps are closer to 70 degrees, but still under.

Pretty good if someone is looking for day to day temps though. Not shabby.
