Hahaha well I doubt I’ll be building something wide open like that. Thank you for the info, amigos. I’ll try to stuff as many fans and rads into this build as I can, as well as 2 res/pump combos. I’ll post pics when it’s complete. I do have 2 more questions though. The first one is, is this an alright setup for the 2 res/pump system I’m after? Pump 1 > GPU > front rad 1 > front rad 2 > Res 2 > Pump 2 > CPU > top rad 1 > top rad 2 > Res 1 > Pump 1 Second question: How tf do I calculate how many fittings and angles I need for this? I plan on using hardline tubing with no bends because I don’t wanna shell out just for a heat gun and I like the aesthetic of all straight lines and fittings more.

Ah, so I’m guessing the 1680mm would be push-pull 140mm x 12? And the 1920mm would be push-pull 120mm x 16? Aren’t there different thicknesses on radiators? I’m wondering if the pull fans on the front would bump against the push fans on the top and not go all the way in. You think 2 reservoirs and 2 pumps would be best for that set of radiators? Do you have any suggestions for order of the tube connections? I realize I’m asking a lot of questions lmao

Thanks for the reply! I watched the paul’s hardware video on it, but I’m not sure how well it applies to me since I only plan on using 1 reservoir and 1 GPU.

Hello LTT, I’ll try to keep this short. I’m currently in the process of planning out a monster water-cooled RGB build mostly for my daily multitask workload. I also just want it to look sick. I’m considering getting the Corsair 1000D because I want to have space to water cool my system, and I’d like to go all-out with some push-pull RGB fans, either Corsair LLs or Corsair QLs. Aesthetic is a little more important to me for fans than the small boosted performance from static pressure fans. The only thing I’m not sure about is just what size and shape of water-cooled radiators will fit in that case. I’d like to fit 2x3x120 on top and 2x4x120 on the front, but what thickness can I go with that will also fit a push-pull setup? Would the top fit 2x4x120 as well? I appreciate any and all replies!

Ah, thank you for the information. Just to clarify, with all the multitasking going on with my build, are you saying a TR would be beneficial but it’s unnecessary? Or that it would actually be detrimental to have that sort high-end multithread & low-end single thread performance compared to the 3950X?

I see. I don’t believe it supports 2+ GPUs currently. Currently my largest windows of the application are displaying around 600k to 1 million polygons, not sure if that’s relevant Question though: if 2+ GPUs is redundant why do so many enthusiasts have 2 to 4 high-end GPUs spammed in their case? Expensive decorations?

I’d love to go all-out with RGB stuff and water cooling, although I know that stuff is just for aesthetics mostly. So you say a 3950x, huh? I’m fine with shelling out for TR stuff, I just wanna know really if it’ll benefit me at all. I’ve heard TR single thread processing isn’t as great as usual but I’m not sure how that applies to me.

Thanks for the reply! I’ll be using either an RTX 2080 Ti or an RTX Titan(?) although I’m not entirely sure if a Titan is worth it. I definitely render/display a ton of stuff on my screen with my development applications. I play games on the Vive sometimes but I really don’t play desktop games all that often. Still, it’d be nice to be able to run games at max settings. I’ve been considering using a dual GPU setup but every article I read online only mentions gaming. Are 2, 3, or 4 GPU rigs truly only for gaming?

Howdy LTT, This is my first post here, but I’ll try to keep it short. I’m looking to water cool my PC in the next year or 2 because I enjoy cool temperatures and tinkering. But before that, I’d like to know I have a CPU that would benefit my workload. Currently, my daily workload, usually all at once, includes: - 8 to 14 chrome tabs open, at least one playing music/video - Streamlabs OBS, streaming while doing the other tasks here - 4 to 6 3D Game development applications w/ ongoing in-studio connection to other developers. I frequently run an extra 2 or 3 if I’m doing a live server test - Image editing software - Video editing software I’m not fully aware of how much these tasks eat up my system, but for reference I know that on an i5-6500 my CPU usage is at around 70 to 80% and with 8 GB of RAM my memory usage is a little higher than that. My budget is roughly $4k for a new CPU, new RAM, and new motherboard, but I’d like to not hit that limit. Would a TR 3970X be overkill? What about an i9 9900K? How much RAM is necessary for these tasks? What motherboard would handle all this best? Thank you and I appreciate any and all responses:D
