Thank you guys, I already looked for convertors, but it would be just expensive for this setup. I will continue use soundbar as I originaly intended - decent upgrade from monitor speakers. I decided for soundbar because it fits in unused space below monitor. Maybe I will later upgrade to some combination with sub.

Hello, I have question if it is possible to make work together soundbar JBL 2.0 and subwoofer Mackie CR8S-XBT on PC. Motherboard is Asus X570 Proart creator, it does not have optical audio output. I´m using soundbar through onboard bluetooth and if I can somehow add this sub to them together. If I connect sub itself to the green 3.5 jack in mobo it is like another audio output and if I plug to orange 3.5 jack it is not visible for sound setting so I can´t merge them.

After couple of months and few upgrades, waiting on parts I have fully custom loop. I added for gpu block Watercool heatkiller IV with backplate, alphacool nexxos st30 x-flow and changed all fans with noctua f12. And put it all in Fractal R6. Temps are quite good - in games cpu around 50C and 45C with liquid temperature around 38C. I didnt test it too much for now, also cpu and gpu are stock. Pump is at 45% and fans are running at 650rpm. Im gonna play with OC and pump and fans speed in proces. I want to test different setups for longer time.

Define C is too small.

You are right, only I´m running 1.4V which is a bit high but 1.5 would be too much. So, I´m gone start looking for new case, but I have on my mind Fractal R6 or Corsair obsidian 750D. I need 4 ideally 5 3.5" bays, fit this 240rad and another 360 rad. I don´t need glass panels, rgb, stuff like that. Any suggestions?

Yeah, airflow is really bad, when I turned rear exhaust into intake it helped, but still there is not enough of airflow.

I had to mount it like this, because in original holes it would collide with motherboard.

I dont have better fans to try. I was looking for different fans but when I want quiet and good airflow for rads then I should probably get noctua fans, but I will check if there is something else.

Yeah, same, to reach 4GHz I have to push 1.5V. But now I have at load (aida64) 56C and vrm 63-64C so, thats better. Still, I’m very tempted to buy fractal R6, another 360 rad and add gpu to the loop ?. I really enjoyed putting together this loop.

Thanks man, I turned around rear exhaust fan, so now it is intake and it helps. Temps droped on CPU about 6C and on VRM by 9C. Fans on rad are spinning at 1000rpm and I can clearly feel on outside top of case the airflow. Now I will try to mess with pump rpms.

I turned off turbo boost when I overclocked cpu. Settings at BIOS are same on air and on water.

Hello, yestereday I build my first water cooling custom loop but after few benchmarks I think these temps are too high. Loop: Monoblock X370, RES100 Revo D5, SE240, 16/10 tube, Pump is regulated by motherboard and runs between 1300 to 2500 rpm, but even with full power temps are basically the same. Running: R5 1600X @ 3.9GHz with 1.4V and in idle cpu is around 30-35C, VRMs at 40-41C. At load cpu hits around 63C and vrm 72. With aircooled setup temps were in load at cpu around 70-73C and vrm around 80C. CM Hyper 412S with 2x Enermax Magma 12cm at 1000rpm. Well the case is CM 690 first gen and fitment was interesting but I always wanted to put custom loop in this case - I have it since it came out. I knew modifying few holes would be needed. GPU is getting little bit hotter but when 1 fan is practically blocked its understandable. Also part of radiator is blocked by sheet of metal on top but I dont think thats the problem, Block seems to be seated properly. Filling went easily and bubbles disappered quickly, its small loop.
