Custom Loop in a Fractal North XL Case

[andrewr2019]

Has anyone setup a loop in this case?

I'm looking at cooling a 3090 with a 5900x in a North XL case. According to Fractal I should be able to fit a 360/60 (And hopefully be able to mount an XD5 pump here too) rad in the front, and a 360/30 at the top. Will this be enough radiator space? If not it sounds like I may be able to add a 120 or 140mm rad at the rear as well if necessary.

Also are there any recommendations for radiator fan orientations for this setup?

Thanks

If that much rad fits, you should be fine from a cooling perspective. It just depends on how quiet you want it, as with that much heat output you might have to run the fans a little fast when it's going full bore.

Dual 360s should be fine. Personally, I like the 40-45mm thickness rads as they offer a very good balance, and don't require as much from the fans as the 60mm thick one would.
You can use T30 fans, if you don't care for RGB.
The 3090 benefits A LOT from an active backplate. Should be okay passively cooled, but using an active backplate the thermals would be a whole new level.
