Well I mention that, because I went for the Enthoo 719 thinking I could fit 2 480mm radiators in there, turns out it's not entirely true, as they have to be slim, and you can only mount push/pull on 1 of them as a result.
I get you want quietest possible, and that bigger fans means less rpm=less noise. It's the very reason I am running 960mm's of Radiators and I have my fans barely spinning as the sheer radiator space is cooling a lot.
Just wanted to give you an alternative look at how else you could start your build off.
Edit: Sorry I thought you wanted a 3950x cooled, yeah, you're going to need a monster pair of 480/420 to cool those and keep it quiet
Thanks for the goid information... yes..I looked at many builds of this type of CPU...and many even use Monsta type if rads..... I am no expert by any mean since I always used air coolers.. this will be my first custom loop... but man how difficult calculate the right amount if rad surface needed...no clear answers, no clear data...
The Phanteks 719 was one of the choice but read about the poor clearance on the top...
Problem is to find a case that can host the suitable cooling system and having enough space for at least 3 SSD and 3 HDD...
I believe the Elite can do that.
I looked at the Corsair 1000d... Nice big case... but I don't like that much all that glass around the case...
Thinking about the Phanteks Elite... could go with a 420GTX on top, another 420GTX at the bottom and even a 560GTS at the front...
Might be overkill....maybe all GTS instead of the GTX ?
I saw a spreadsheet where it stated that for a delta 5°C with the pump running at 0.5GPM i would need between 8 snd 10 140mm fans.... but don't know if it is realistic or not... no experience to being able to judge...
