I'm planning to upgrade to a 5820k and overclock it extensively. I'm unsure if a 1 480mm radiator will help reach a stable 4.0ghz. I need to find out how to connect a 480mm and a 240mm radiator to the CPU loop.

A 240mm suffices for that overclock, a 360mm offers extra safety. 480mm might be too much for the CPU alone, but with a GPU later it works fine. 480mm of radiator space for the CPU doesn’t make sense unless you’re aiming to push every last GHz from the chip.

Falin suggests a 240mm is sufficient for the overclock, while a 360mm would offer more protection. He mentions that 480mm might be excessive for just the CPU but could work well with a GPU later. He also notes that using 720mm of radiator space for the CPU doesn’t make sense unless you’re maximizing performance. He thanks the person and asks if they have two 1080s with waterblocks and considers a multi radiator dual loop.

The EK Cooling Configurator works well. Just search for the model.
