    CPU cooling best practices? Rad size.

    Hi, So from experience, GPUs are much easier to cool. I found a 360mm did make a difference there. The CPU however seems to operate at about 50*C (or higher) above the radiator temp under load. So straight away get ambient +50 or higher before the loop even gets involved. Better thermal...

    They are both separate at the moment. Thanks for the advice.

    AIO -> Custom loop

    The Eiswolf V2 is epic BTW. Rad fans that STOP! Woohoo! THANK YOU! Playing FarCry6 at 75FPS, 95% load and the computer is still silent at 20% fan RPM, GPU stable at 51*C. If I crank the fans to 100% that comes down to nearer 45*C. Under Furmark load at full fans it barely gets to 50*C and...

    AIO -> Custom loop

    Got a new rig. 5800X, 3080, X570. I put an Eiswolf V2 360 on the 3080 and a Kraken X73 on the CPU. At the time I spec'ed and bought it I figured dual AIO was the cheapest and fastest way to get dual water cooled build. Now I'm already, less than a month in, twitching to fiddle. I know the...
