Is a single 120mm radiator enough for water cooling?

Quick question: is it actually possible to build a custom water cooling loop using just one square radiator?

To be specific, I’m looking at cooling an i5 3570 and a GTX 1080 with a single 120mm square radiator that only fits one fan. Any idea what kind of temperatures I'd be looking at?

Thanks

You aren't going to cool either of them effectively.

Radiators aren't expensive, and you really ought to go with a 360mm rad for that specific setup. A single one just won't cut it. I'd suggest at least a 120 + 240mm combo; honestly, that actually looks quite sharp in certain cases where a full 360mm doesn't fit properly.
