3900X Watercooling Case

[Rovers Return]

FYI, OP.
Don't expect a big cooling effect on the 3900X. Due to the design and density, the issue is getting the the heat out of the chipsets themselves.
Just a heads up to help your expectations.

I know. Too be honest - it's mainly for aesthetics with the hope it might give me a little more head room at least. I do think it'd benefit the 2080Ti a lot more than the 3900X.

I've now built the system. It'll be a few weeks before I jump on the water-cooling. I may end up getting another monitor first too.

No question that water-cooling is of more value to a GPU than CPU. High-end cpu air coolers are highly effective now but on GPU water can take even the highest end cards down to <50C

My 3900 runs a little warmer in my full loop now previously when I just had a x62 AIO on it.

Obviously because it's sharing the loop with a 2080ti which is a spicy card!

Idles about 33ish. I seen it go up to 75 in CB R20.
