I am needing some help in deciding what I should do regarding my build. I currently have a Ryzen 2700 OC to 3.5Ghz on all cores at 1.4V and am using a DeepCool Gamerstorm Captain 360 AIO with 3 Corsair ML 120 fans to cool it. I am currently idling around 40C but don't exceed 65C under a full synthetic load.

 

I know this is fine but would like to idle closer to 30C if possible or maybe push the clock a bit further. 

 

I know it would look cooler (pardon the linus pun) to run an open loop but is there any real benefit that I would see due to the price? The most affordable kit i can find that has everything I need is the Thermaltake Pacific C360 at $299 on amazon.

 

Should I buy that or just stick with what I have?

 

I mostly game on my system but commonly do real work on it as well.

 

Full system specs:

Ryzen 2700 3.5Ghz @1.4V

Asus Prime X470-Pro Motherboard

32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum @3200Mhz

MSI RX 570 Armor MK2 8G OC x2

9.5T of mostly ssd storage.
