Anyone have a similar setup? How much rad space are you using to cool them? I've seen the various "rules of thumbs" so to speak is a 120.1 for every 120/150w you're putting out. I've read the 290's can put out upwards of 400w when overclocked and the 4770k can pull 135-150w. Sounds like I'd need somewhere between 120.6 and 120.8 rad space.
Thinking about putting either a 420mm or a 480mm Alphacool XT45(maybe a Monsta) in the top of my case along with either a 280/360mm at the bottom. I'm using a Phanteks Enthoo Primo and would like to keep the hard drive cages so no 480mm on the bottom. I'll still have space for another 280mm if needed to go with the first two and may slightly mod the bottom hard drive cage wall to accept a 420mm rad instead of the 280/360mm.
Opinions/suggestions?
