So I'm planning a custom loop build for the end of the year. Probably looking at a 3080 and a 5800x if the market has stopped going insane. Now this is my first venture into water cooling, but still I wann try and pull off something extreme, and yes it's extremely overkill but it's more of a "can i make it?" kinda thing. So I'm looking at two options (I'm aware either one will be stupid expensive). My aim is near is near ambient Temps at the lowest noise possible.
Now the first is a more classic triple rad, one loop build with rigid tubing (glass or copper) which should be relatively straightforward, and I might ask help with in the future.
The second idea I got from a JayzTwoCents video (click for yt link). Basically I want to remove the side panels from a case, and replace them with arrays as shown in the video, ergo three 480 rads side by side in a mount, one array for each side. Do you think I could get away with basically passive cooling and no fans, while achieving acceptable but not necessarily very low temps while overclocked, with this setup? I mainly want to know of this could work, and what rads, cases or what else you'd recommend
Looking forward to discussion, cheers!
