GPU cooling question.

I have two 360mm rads in a haf stacker 935 case. Currently just cooling my cpu. EK is making full cover blocks for the GHZ 780ti coming out in Feb. I plan to use those on my 780 GHZ sli setup. Do i have enough rad? Or should i add a 240mm rad to loop after the gpu's? And will the Laing D5 pump be enough for all those rads?
 
Should be plenty.

Pump should be fine too.

I've got a 3770k at 1.3v at 4.8GHZ and two GTX 670 FTWs all on one HWLabs GTX 360 in push pull, temps are perfectly fine even when I'm folding on all fronts.
 
That will be plenty of radiator and pump.

I have two 780s and a 3960K on a 360 and 240.

I recommend you look at Heatkiller blocks. The 780/Titan/Ti are all the same fit and available now.
The Heatkiller workmanship is far superior to the EK.:D

The Heatkiller block will fit the Gigabyte GHZ? It is a non ref board.
 
It'll be fine with two 360s, but you'll net better temps if you add a 240, especially if you're overclocking your cards.

If it is indeed a non-reference PCB......you'll need to contact Watercool, but are you sure it's just not the cooler that is non-reference?? So far every 780 PCB, with few exceptions, to come out is built off the same platform.

The 780 is a fairly cool running chipset compared to the R9 290X, I don't have any reservation recommending that his current radiators will handle the job.
My computer has a heavily overclocked 3930K and two GTX 780s running at 1150 MHz on maximum overvoltage.
I use one 360 push/pull and one 240 push. The GPU runs 40C as do the GPUs on full load. My highest GPU temp has been 43C,

Checked the list. and yes it uses custom PCB. I will wait for the EK block in feb i guess.

Are you hell bent on the Gigabyte GHz model?
The GHz model tops out at 1100 on boost (although you probably can OC the thing) and a reference board, watercooled and OC could easily top that. And the cards and coolers are available right now.:D
 
I'm also running two reference EVGA 780 Ti cards at 1.212v and 1250-1300MHz running Skyn3t BIOS and a cranked 3570K on a 360 and 240, push only (5 fans).

In 20C-22C ambient, GPU temps never crack 48C after hours of synthetic bullshit stress testing, rarely go over 40C in actual real-world gaming which is actually what I use the rig for. And that's keeping all the fans below 1000 RPM and the Liang D5 Vario pump at 2400 RPM (between setting 1 and 2).

TL;DR: You have plenty of rad and pump.
