Best Choice for Hot Components in Torrent

Better off trashing the QL's. TPU couldn't even measure the airflow from it >750rpm. Better off (If they must use RGB fans) something like an Arctic P12 RGB, or if they have cash to burn, T30-120's. 

if you buy 3x 12x25¨s and use them as push, its very ok to just add the QL¨s as pull and for looks

Well in a vacuum, that might be true. (Meaning in any unspecified scenario. I am moving to Fractal Torrent, a highly airflow optimized Setting with a very high volume of Front intake. (2x180mm with up to 250m³/h) 3x120mm Noctua NF-A12x25 (which i am planning for, cause T30's arent available where i live) on a 360mm AIO would be much more restrictive in total airflow for case and therefore for the GPU as well. Just want you all to see the total picture not just the specific comparison, which you are right, a d15 would be a downgrade from 360aio.

As i wrote in my initial Post: I am in deed planning to Switch to a Fractal Torrent, hence i am asking those question:

- Highly airflow optimized build

- Would D15 in this scenario be better in a total perspective than a 360AIO in Front crippling the Cases Airflow...

 

 

i dont get the fascination for the Torrent case,,,  the D15 will get some hot air from the GPU, the AIO wont.

Well taste is arguably subjective   i really like the looks, and i had the o11d for quite a while now. Scince it is directly in my view, it doesn't hurt to change things up. But i also noticed, that the front grill of the torrent is realy a polarising thing. 

 

Regarding to Choice: 

I now ordered 3x NF-A12x25 and a NF-A14 alongside the Case. 

 

QL's will have to find another home now ^^

i kinda ment it like: 
"Hah i got a high end case, gotta have one more!"

 

not that the case is ugly or bad or anything

Torrent is only great if you purely use air cooling anyways.

i still think the aio will be better as you all ready have it, can save moeny by getting the case with out fans,

its posable it can dump more heat out at the gpu so that might be a bit hier temps wise but i think both will be fine. i get your point thow

Unless your 360mm AIO is defective, a D15 is a downgrade. Hell it loses to a lot of 240mm designs.

Yes.

I have 3 EK 360mm AIOs. Two replaced Silverstone 360mm AIOs the were defective.

 

I use D15s in builds I usually don't monitor since the chances of them failing is remote.  I also use them for quit build like for sound recording.

 

My i9 11900k build is using a D15 because I had one sitting in a box. The case fans are from the 2 Silverstone AIOs that were defective. It is sort of a spare parts build.
