Wondering what people’s radiator setups are going to look like (assuming most will also have an AIO on their cpu)
I’m probably going to front mount my liquid freezer as intake for the CPU and top mount the kingpin radiator as exhaust
I have a Corsair Obsidian RGB, but can't seem to source a three fan tray to replace one of the two fan trays (I guess I could have dremeled, but I can use the case to upgrade my sons setup anyway), so I picked these two up:
- Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL
- Thermaltake Level 20 XT
I think my gpu would be better off getting the heat reduction first, since I'm not doing any crazy OCing of the 5950x atm (Not much of a point really for 3DMark with all the server chips taking top spots on CPU runs). I will likely bottom or side mount it in the 011 XL. I really need to see what the case looks like first hand on the inside and how I can direct airflow (and whether there are two compartments for air flow or just one).
The Level 20 XT is going to be a very slow custom loop build. It could take a long long long time considering the low availability of so many things during the pandemic.
I recently bought the Lian Li o11 Dynamic XL case after getting on notify system, and i have to say, it was lovely to build in, and with my 3080 FTW3 Ultra at the moment, neither CPU or GPU is stressed. I went for the side and bottom as intake, and top as exhaust. I kept my Corsair 360mm AIO for CPU up top, and will back mount the KPE AIO as intake as well. I have no idea how to post pictures here, but if i can figure it out, ill shoot you a picture. For the airflow on back, there is about a 2-3in gap between fans and rear filter, could put rad back there to close that, assuming you can keep all the case cables out of the way. Im not the greatest with cable management, but managed to not clip any of my 10 fans, so ill take it as a win.
