The situation suggests a 240mm radiator intake and exhaust, which should suffice for cooling a Ryzen processor along with two graphics cards.

2 x 240mm rads are sufficient for a Ryzen 7 and two 1060s in SLI + overclocking. Avoid slim rads and low FPI. You'll need to be ready to hear your fans, as you won't be able to run a silent system.

What Ryzen CPU model are you considering? Which type of GPU should you have? Will you be increasing the clock speed? Are you concerned about the sound output?

What Ryzen CPU are you using? What kind of GPU do you have? Are you planning to overclock? Also, how important is noise level to you?

The 1060 is not compatible with sli. It is designed for a single card setup only.

Thanks for the fix. I didn't realize SLI only functions starting from the 1070...

When executing a custom loop, a 360 rad is sufficient, but a solid 240 would also perform adequately.

The guideline suggests 120mm per part plus one, meaning for two GPUs and a CPU you should consider 480mm of rad space; adding 2x240 rads should work.

This approach is fairly reasonable for building loops, often getting you close enough, but the optimal method is to determine the total loop TDP and assess what you can realistically produce in total power.
