    I personally never liked the sound signature of schiit.
    Pricey, but I picked an RME ADI-2 DAC. It sounds magnificient with my hd600

    dont get schiit magni. get a monoprice liquid spark or a jds labs atom they are better amps. 
    for a dac you can stick with the modi or go with the topping d10, topping d30, or a khadas tone board.

    rafbanaan reacted to AngryBeaver in Hydro X loop question   
    So this is a tricky question. Will it be able to handle both... yes. It just depends on what deltaT you are comfortable with. The higher the deltaT (distance between ambient and water temp under load) the higher your component temps across the board. So you might have slow fans with those components at a 20c deltaT... of you are fine with the temps at that delta then you are ok. If not you would need to either increase the fan speed (move more air) or add another radiator (add more surface area). 
     
    This is the "specs" from HWlabs
     
    SR2-480 MP         2000W       QUAD       4 X 120mm  
    So it can theoretically move 2000W of heat which is a buttload, but it would require a TON of airflow to do that. So if you are fine with potentially having audible fans under a really heavy load it would be fine. My guess is that with the right fans you won't notice it even at 1200 rpms.

    If going Sr2 there isn't much need for push pull. It has low FPI and isn't a thick rad. As for the Xr7 I have yet to see any benchmarks comparing them to other rads... I know they were made by Hardware labs (same people that make SR2), but we don't know what features they share with their other products.
     
    I doubt they are bad by any means, but without knowing more about them I can't recommend them one way or another.

    I'm on a 480mm HW Labs Black Ice SR2 MP with four Corsair ML120s spinning at low RPM, which pushes air through. Under load, they don't go past ~800-900 RPM, even if I put a 100% load for rendering projects and my CPU temps don't go past 69º average on the package.
     
    I'm planning on adding my upcoming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti into my loop, and I do believe that the radiator alone should handle the kinds of load it'll be subjected to while remaining cool and quiet.
     
    What's important here is all of my fan curves are based on coolant temperature, where it's more granular and controlled.

    For what its worth I am using a single 480 35mm thick rad to cool my 3600 and 2080ti that I have a solid overclock on and have ZERO issues with heat

    rafbanaan reacted to GeoSquigg in Custom loop components check   
    your components run too hot to cool completely passively .. in most cases, a passively cooled pc it done with low to mid grade components that are undervolted/underclocked
     
    only comments i have on your loop are:
    -add a bigger reservoir tube
    -for sure add drain and fill ports
    -possibly switch the vardar fans for nf-a14's or the cromax flavor if you don't like brown
