Hey guys,

My first post on the forum, sorry if the place is incorrect but I'm talking about custom loop water cooling so...

I want to get an opinion about the build that i'm planning to make. It's going to have on 240mm radiator for CPU + GPU. What are your opinions on this build?

 

Build:

Thermaltake Core G3

Gigabyte X570 Gaming X

Aorus RTX 2060 Xtreme 6G

32 Gigs of Ram

These parts I have now, but air cooled (GPU has a few milimetres of clearance and the CPU's cooler is over the case (temporary))

 

I ordered:

EK Coolstream SE 240 (slim dual)

2x EK-Vardar 120ER

EK-Classic Pump Reservoir 160 SPC PWM

EK-Quantum Velocity D-RGB - AMD Nickel + Frosted Plexi

for the GPU I ordered Bykski Waterblock for the corresponding GPU

 

And of course all the accesories that I would need.

How will my thermals look like? I'm not a overclocker, I just like a quiet build 🙂

If you aren't going to overclock, I think you will be fine. Even better if you're willing to undervolt.

Hard to tell. If you have a 1700x it should be a lot cooler than if you have a 5800x or 5950x. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Why is the 5800x so hot?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I've got a Ryzen 7 3700X on board.

I think that's a good idea. I will have to look for a guide though. I only undervolted intel mobile CPUs.
