Upgraded my machine a while ago, with:
Gigabyte Radeon RX 6900 XT AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE WB
Phanteks Enthoo 719
Bought Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 CPU - Digital RGB, to deal with the cooling of Waterforce. Took the jetplate out of the pump-unit to maximise the flow (as I'm not using it to cool CPU also).
Anyway, wanted to position the GPU Vertical GPU bracket. Noticed that with the bracket there cannot be anything on other PCIE-slots (have an AE-9 there) and on top of that, my Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black also blocks the installation of the GPU to that bracket....
So, ordered a 1x-riser cable (don't know when I get it) for AE-9.
And I'm going to put the CPU on water, so that I can fit the GPU.
What would be a best way to put this thing together?
I was thinking about using the Aurora for CPU (which is 5800x, maybe getting an 5800x3D, if I don't go straight to 7000-series cpu next) and maybe get an 420 radiator for 6900XT... If I remember correctly, Enthoo 719 takes 420 to front and 360 goes to top.
Just don't know the best way to do it.
Getting a separate Alphacool 420 AIO? I don't believe, that the pump of Aurora, has the ability to move fluid enough for both GPU and CPU...
Or get a stronger pump, a separate 420 radiator and a CPU-block?
Opinions and advices are very welcome, thank you!
