Do you have a link to the source for those graphs? I'd be interested to see system specs in terms of Ram config etc.

Both CPUs have been tested using DDR4-3800 CL14 memory. We’ve got our hands on a high quality G.Skill TridentZ Neo 32GB kit and it’s very impressive. That’s the memory, and that means we won’t be using the typical CL14 3200 kit for this benchmark.

They'd be Elite ML120's



Have the NZXT USB2 Mobo Header Hub too. Dreading the cable nightmare! LOL



They saw that many more people where wanting to do Push/Pull on their rads and the 2 fan cables connected and powered direct from their older generations of pump units where no longer enough and then RGB added to the mix. It actually made sense to move all that off the pump unit to a dedicated unit with 6 Fan Headers and RGB Headers to cater for these new demands. Not that Push/Pull is needed on a 25mm thick Rad. Only makes sense on the big thick 60mm jobbies. Same with people using ugly Noctuas or other High Static Pressure fans and poopoo'ing the 'Poor' performance of QL120's as Radiator fans for example. Theres probably literally about 3-4ºc temp difference between a 'Poor' QL120 and the best Noctua Radiator Fan. If one is worried about 3-4ºc then you have bigger problems with your system!! LOL.

I always use iCUE control for my Corsair AIO's or at least install it and set my default fan/pump profiles before disabling iCUE. That way I can set the Fan and pump speeds to be based off the AIO Water temp and not the CPU Package temp like it would be if the fans were controlled from the motherboard fan headers. As Water has a high heat capacity and heats up slower it means that short term temp spikes like opening a media heavy web page in Chrome for example doesn't cause the fans to annoyingly ramp up and down all the time. Only sustained loads slowly heating up the water cause my fan profile to speed up the pump and fans and its a gradual thing not a Revving of the Fan engine kind of thing. WRT to disabling iCUE. Now that I have a shed load of Corsair iCUE Fans and RGB strips in my system as well as a Corsair AIO and also a much faster 16 Core CPU, well I won't want to nor need to disable iCUE anymore and can leave it on permanently. Perfect use case for one of my E-Cores on my 12900K! LOL

Right the ML's not bad fans but wanted everything to match with the QL's.

I can understand why they did it to a degree for simplifying up to 6 fan setups but for is with more fans it's a nightmare with all the wiring, Luckily there's plenty of room in the right panel with the O11XL I feel sorry for anyone with this amount of fans in a tight cable panel.

I did it eventually but no way this was possible without a hub and a bit of patience lol.
 
:D

My gut feeling is that come Thursday afternoon, a bunch of people will be rather silent around these parts :p

We should all just get along! Like e cores and p cores.
