if you've got $3000 go for the 3090 and also the 3080 TI does not exist at this time

I suggest an air cooler. Dark Rock Pro 4 or NH D-15

if you want performance go with an air cooler although I can see that you probably chose this for aesthetic reasons.

I read that it is compatible and suits this CPU best. However, I will take your advice instead. Thank you.

3090 is an overkill for me. TI version might come out at the beginning of next year. Fingers crossed.

when you say "suits" are you referring to how intel's turbo boost technology works because although that may be true for short high clock speed workloads its not the case for gaming.

I just don't want to overkill the overkill if you catch my drift.

Then I was mistaken obviously. Which one is better? Rock or NH?

I think your on the wrong forum for "catching a drift"

NH will be quitter but the Rock will get better temps

[Tom_nerd]

and also personally I think the rock looks better

[BraveHeart911]

LOL. I don't know a more technical equivalent of the phrase. Sorry.

LOL. It is OK. Should I get bigger fans? Do you know which RGB lights to use?

[BraveHeart911]

Xtreme Or Godlike?

generally I'm not that good at RGB as I mostly build workstation PC's for offices. although to my knowledge most RGB strips will work. if you want a more in depth look at RGB lights then start up a new thread asking about it. sorry I couldn't be of assistance

Your help was more than enough. The fan size is also good I suppose>>>>

aesthetically I'll leave that to you although performance and features are about the same with some exceptions being the 90 degree motherboard connector on the Xtreme.

as the 3080 has a design that means that it dumps hot air onto the CPU area if your getting the founders edition. this means that airflow is a big thing to consider. although the Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL has a lot of airflow anyway so it wont be an issue
