Connecting the 980ti razor block to my custom loop
Are you adding the razor into your CPU loop? regarding the GPU temperature, yes, it's running hotter than the CPU. The RADs are connected to the CPU load, so if the GPU is handling more work and the CPU isn't, this won't provide enough cooling power.
As long as you have at least a 360 rad, you can cool a CPU and GPU even when overclocked.
If the CPU workload is low, it won’t generate much heat, allowing the fan speed reduction to still help cool the GPU.
When the CPU load is high, the fans will speed up, improving cooling for both components.

I7 4790 paired with ASRock Z97 extreme. 16GB DDR3 1866. Motherboard is MSI 980ti standard. Currently I'm using a XSPC 360 with Noctua f12 in push/pull, XSPC Dual Bay reservoir with D5 Vario, and XSPC Raystorm block. Tubing measures 1/2" 3/4". The chip performs stably at 4.9GHz and idles comfortably at a warm 32°C under 1.42V input. At full load, the chip reaches a maximum temperature of 72°C. The system operates best in the mid to low 14s range, with memory capacity reaching a maximum of 3557. Temperatures drop into the low to mid 70s during full burn.
My upgraded rig includes an EKWB Predator 240 rad with four Noctua f12 units in push/pull mode, another D5 vario, and a XSPC full cover Razor with backplate. I'm paying attention to noise levels, so the pumps have a higher profile than the fans. I aim to set the pumps around 3 instead of leaving just one running wide open as it currently is.
Shouldn't face any issues running two pumps at reduced speed. I'm testing the same setup with my pumps. It's possible you might manage better at a lower speed now. A 240 should work for a 980 Ti at stock, but overclocking could affect temperatures if needed.
