choose a thick rad such as ekwb xe series, or look for a slim 15mm thick fan to match the top side. However, rads, water-block components, elbows and joints can cause pressure loss, so check online reviews before picking parts.
if pressure drop and flow rate meet your needs, calculate the TDP based on the rad's heat dissipation capacity combined with a suitable fan (and its speed), for example: 200W from CPU plus 300W from GPU. Consider these rad options:
- 280mm thick front side
- 240 slim top side
- 120 thick rear exhaust

confirming your thoughts, there should definitely be room for two 360 radiators with fans. I’m mainly concerned about the pump and its connection. There’s space for up to 280/360 rad in the front (I’d suggest that), and 240 on top. The issue is the small opening at the front of the case for air intake and exhaust, so without removing the front cover you’re left with only the top radiators for cooling. Although it might technically work for the CPU and one GPU, it won’t be quiet or efficient. The main problem is the limited airflow, which is the reason behind 275R.
