Hi guys,
So I nearly have all the parts for my new build, however have just changed my CPU choice from an i7 7820x to the i9 7900X due to me requiring 44 PCI-E lanes instead of just 28... (WHY INTEL????? WHYYYYY!!!???).
I am only planning a modest overclock of around 4.2Ghz on all cores but I don't know if my chosen cooling solution the Corsair H115i is going to cut it anymore. I see reviews online of it passing 90c with AIO water coolers but they were running 4.6Ghz and up.
So I am looking for some help choosing parts for a simple but effective triple rad open loop system to fit in a Corsair 750D airflow edition and cool down the 7900X.
I would say quad rad, however it won't fit in the 750D. But surely a good triple rad set up with big res and a high flow rate pump has to be wayyyy better than an AIO right?
I have only done water cooling once before, 6 or 7 years ago. So am pretty inexperienced you could say.
There is just over 85mm of clearance in the top of the Corsair 750D. So a 60mm rad and a single side of fans?
Thanks
Tom
