I have a Thermaltake P90. I am going to upgrade the 10700K / Z370 to a Ryzen 9800X3D / B650 and want to replace my 8 year old EK Blocks water cooler with a new AIO.

I am going all-white this time.

My case is pretty unique, the radiator goes on the right while the mobo is on the left


Can I just stick this on the right with the tubes coming out of the top and around to the CPU? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...aio-cpu-liquid-cooler-whit-coo-asu-04231.html
 
I’ve read so many places that the freezer 3 is noisy and worse than the 2. I’m not wedded to this card and that thermalrite looks good I’ll look closely at that one, I do think the one I posted is overpriced.

My main concern is whatever I buy ends up no good because either it doesn’t work with the tubes coming out the top, or the tubes are too short to get around the corner nicely

A good air cooler will cool the 9800X3D fine

I’ve the frozen vision (pretty much the same) and it’s as good as the 3 Corsair AIO’s I’ve had previously, and a third of the price.
It’s useful to have to keep an eye on temperatures.
 
Definitely not solved on this one!

ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 Extreme ARGB​

expensive but looks immense. Again though will those cables reach? I am seeing 40cm which on any "normal" case is fine but with the Thermaltake P90 maybe not.
I really don't want to change my case, the P90 is excellent, but I might be backed into a change, or a custom loop which brings a whole new set of headaches

Is your actual computer specification your huge signature? You're literally crippling your PC performance for aesthetics if so, £200-400 on a cooler while running a 4070 is utterly beyond comprehension for me, especially while running such a dated platform. I realise you stated that you're moving to a 9800X3D earlier but your signature remains the same, it's hard to tell. Does that include the 4070 you're sporting, or are you doing a huge GPU upgrade too? The 9800X3D would run just fine on a £30 air cooler, it's utterly unnecessary to the point almost any "pretty" AIO will be fine.

Ah no that’s my old spec.

I’m upgrading it to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 64gb and new board

I don’t mind sending a bit extra for the aesthetic, that’s what the case Iis great for too. The GPU is staying for now, I am gonna see what happens with all these 5x series problems before I look at that, might go AMD next. But that’s a separate conversation.

So ultimately, I want a pretty AIO with tubes long enough for my case. The screens are cool too though :)

End result (and signature updated).

Now just trying to get the damn fan LCDs to be recognised by Windows so I can set them up!

Cheers for the advice everyone.
