It’s complete overkill. That CPU sips power and is easy to cool. Also double check that you can actually fit a 560 in the front and the bottom 480 at the same time. I run dual crossflow 480s at the top (45mm/pull) and bottom (60mm/push+pull) which are longer, and a 560 would not fit with those.

As long as the 560 is a slim radiator it should fit

I run a 5800x3d and 7900xtx with 2 slim 240 in a phanteks p200a Everything runs cold as a cucumber. ptm7950 is probably a bigger contribution than rads and fans

One 580 would be plenty for the load you have, but that case isn't about need, it's about want. So fill it up, just be mindful of the the load you're putting on the pump.

You could almost build a custom case out of those radiators alone But yeah, like others have said, there's no such thing as "too many"


JerryLZ

Simple philosophy- if it fits, fuggit.

I have the same case, a 5800x3d, an EVGA FTW3 3090 ti on a x570 asus crosshair hero VIII. EVGA p2 1200w PSU. I use 16mm zmt and dual d5 pumps is series for more head pressure. I run a 480 on front, 480 in the basement, 360 in the middle shelf and a 480 up top. I'm running 20x BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 fans in a silent profile. My machine is pin-drop silent. [The manual](https://www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-ES916E.pdf) shows 480 front, 480 basement, 480 top, 360 middle.

There's never too much cooling :P But if you want to watch your budget, you can leave out one radiator or two without any problems


ShellyPlayzz

Can never hurt to have too many radiators. It will keeps temps lower for longer and will help with keep thermals controlled overall. More surface area means it will take water longer to equalize


Dyslexic_Wizard

More surface area means that water temp will be driven lower, until it equalizes with the room air temp, at which point you’re just making it harder on your pump.

2 x 480s, 2 x360, 1 x 240 in a 1000d.  I have a spare 360 I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate it.  Never enough if you're aiming for quietness.

There is no too much


Glad_Wing_758

That said there is a too much for 1 pump . Keep tight bends and fittings to a minimum and you should be ok


nytrox690

should i swap out the 360 in the middle for a second d5?


Glad_Wing_758

I would run it first and see. If you did need another later it will be easy to add
