Hi,
I'm seeking some advice/review/buying guidance for my first custom loop.
Context:
I already have an AIO (from corsair) that I adapted to match my graphics card, and I was amazed by the difference in noise level and temperature/performance improvements it does. I also removed noise from PSU and (old) HDD, replaced by SSD.
The only noise left is coming from demanding games and applications that uses lots of CPU power.
So, I wanted to eliminate the last noise from my computer, thus I thought, why not make a full gpu+cpu custom watercooling loop?
What I have:
GPU: GTX 1060 6G OCV1 (MSI) (with a custom copper plate to adapt H100x cooler on it)
CPU: FX-8350 (black edition)
Case: Corsair carbide 275
TDP should look like ~300W (gpu 150W + cpu 130W)
What I planned:
with:
Some questions:
* is the PWM regulation, from MOBO CPU fan connector, good enough to ensure temperature of liquid won't harm the pump?
* is my radiator configuration good for silent operation / case ventilation ? Is it over-designed?
* Did I forget things in the list? any useless stuff?
