  1. The case is the NZXT H440 - so 3x 120mm intakes and 3x 120mm exhaust at the top with another 140mm at the back. I've set fan curves to run the intakes faster on average

     

    I'd be getting rid of some of the hard drives to make room for the watercooling gear anyway - I could try using a single radiator which would probably be fine for the CPU and stock GPU. Vega can kick out a lot more heat when overclocking so maybe I'd start pushing things... but when that happens I could get another radiator in the front. I've considered taking out the mesh since I've actually seen temps drop a few degrees when taking the top off the case :')

    1) Will it be enough, yes, it (theoretically) should be.

    2) Unfortunately, that AIO is not expandable, so you would have to go buy custom components. Luckily, there is EK's Fluid Gaming lineup, though if you want a 360 (3x120) rad, you'll have to hunt for an aluminum one separately, because it only comes with a 240 (2x120) rad. On the plus side though, Kyle from BitWit did prove that it is enough to cool a CPU and a graphics card better then an AIO and a Hybrid card, so there is that.

    Yeah I realise I would be scrapping the CPU block/pump combo bit. I'm not fussed by that so much - but it would be nice to at least retain the radiator at least without having to get another one. Needless to say I would be shoving a res and something like a D5 in there (yknow, proper hardware).

     

    think the radiator is made of brass... I'll have to check that it's not aluminium at least

  3. Hi all,

     

    Does anybody know if Deepcools radiator can be disconnected from the rest of the AIO and used as a normal radiator? 

     

    I have the 3x120mm version thats just cooling a Ryzen 7 1700X at the moment - I also own a reference cooled Vega 56 and was thinking about getting a waterblock for it and the CPU. Yknow, because I value my hearing and Vega's blower cooler competes with jet engines. The card thermal throttles by default and this would be a great option going down the line.

     

    Also would a 360 rad be enough for an (OCd) 1700X and a (maybe OCd) Vega 56? Picture of AIO attached!
