Does anyone run the IceGiant ProSiphon Elite on an R9 CPU?

At0micMuff1n

There are quite a few reviews of the Icegiant on Threadripper, but nothing for more "run-of-the-mill" R9 processors. Given that it performs better at high power outputs, I'd like to know what it's like on a 7950x or 7900x. I'm getting a 420mm Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 for a new 7900X build and it's massive. Along with the Zotac Trinity 4080 I got, I'm not sure whether it'll fit in the Antec Performance 1 that I bought. The IceGiant seems like a better, albeit much more expensive alternative. However, I'd justify the extra expense in my head with the knowledge that I'll never have to worry about pump failures or anything.

 

Anyone have any thoughts? I'm currently on a 5800X and an NH-D15S which I'm pretty sure won't be able to handle the 7900X or any future R9 CPU that I buy (I'm intending to upgrade in the future as this is a production build and will be pushing renders through as many cores as I can get my hands on).

I wouldn’t bother. And D15 sucks, has for many years.
