Can I cool a 3080? And a 7700x from one radiator? How do fans work on custom wc will they increase in speed when it gets hot? Thanks

looking at maybe the tower 300 case? Have to do more research but I have a 3080 hybrid with a 240 and a 360 radiator for my 7700x but both radiators won't fit what air cooler to use for a non overclocking AMD 7700X?

with a 240 + 360 it be no prob. but find a block for your gpu first....

The old school rule of thumb was that you wanted at least one 120mm fan slot in a radiator per block, but that was a long time ago, and components put out a lot less heat then.

For a 7700x and a 3080 I'd probably go with a minimum of two 240mm radiators. The more the better though, as with more radiator capacity, you'll get lower temps at lower fan speeds.

Don't do multiple loops. Have both radiators and both blocks in the same loop. That is the most efficient and will get you the best cooling performance.

As pendragon1 said, your first mission will be to try to find a block for your 3080. This is not always as easy as it sounds.

Many block makers release radiators for a large variety of GPU's when they are new, but availability suffers as they age. It's not always easy with previous gen.

Also, if it is a reference board layout you will ave a much easier time finding a block for it. If it is a fancy custom board it can be harder.

Usually I recommend that if you plan on water cooling you look for what blocks are available first, and then buy the GPU that will work with them. Other way around can sometimes be tricky.

I wouldn't mix air cooling and custom water cooling. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with it, but if you are going to go through the expense and trouble of building a custom loop, might as well cool everything with it.
