In my system I currently have two 120mm rads at the top and a 240mm rad in front to cool my 4790k at 5ghz with 1.432v and a 980ti at 1520mhz with 140% power limit at 1.25v.
I’m thinking about installing a 360mm radiator on top, a 120mm in the back, and keeping the 240mm front.
Would that make sense? Right now, when stressing both the GPU and CPU, temperatures reach 79°C on the CPU after 15 minutes.
I also plan to add another 980ti later, but I’m not sure if I should overclock.
My case is the Corsair 750D, which can accommodate a good amount of radiator space.

You're noticing warmer temperatures in that significant area of space, and you're curious about the type of pump it is.

You're seeing better temperatures in that high-performance setup. What pump model are you using? I'm running the Swiftech MCP655 at full speed—it's above my reservoir but provides sufficient power. My fans are BitFenix Spectre 120mm, and during stress tests they operated at 80% speed. Also worth noting is that my CPU has direct die cooling with Coollaboratory Liquid Pro between the die and waterblock, eliminating thermal paste concerns.
