Hi everyone
I finally got fed up with the airplane turbine aka rtx 3090 and decided to build a custom gpu only loop.
specs
asus dark hero
palit rtx 3090 gamingpro oc
ryzen 5900X with noctua nh-d15
seasonic prime platinum 1000w
m.2 samsung evo 970 1tb + 970 evo plus 2tb + 870 evo 1tb ssd
G.Skill TRIDENT Z x4 RGB 64gb
fractal meshify 2 compact
3 fractal fans (2 in front 1 in the back)
Because of the high ram modules I can't install the second noctua cpu fan. Cpu and all other temperatures are good tho. So my main problem is the noise. That's why I need gpu loop only. It's also less complex than cpu+gpu loop.
But, because of the case's size I'm afraid the radiator with fans will be in front since I'm not sure if it'll fit on top of the case, because of the huge noctua radiator. And if it'll be in front, there will be a constant wave of hot air right into the cpu. Will it be a problem?
Have anyone tried gpu only loops?
And what do you think of the whole idea? I've never tried water cooling so any input will be helpful.
