BARROW 10W PWM 450LPH PUMP WITH G1/4 ROUND TOP AND MOUNT - BLACK

Yes there's an intake 120 or 140 intake fan in the center

what sort/make of fan you using on top
of the center drive bays?
1 intake and 1 exhaust obviously not great
but since you have a "chimney effect"
with that case a decent intake fan should help

And are you going to watercooled regardless of whether you
Could fix some more airflow?
That case is certainly begging
For some hard-line tubing loop

NF-A14 INDUSTRIALPPC 2000RPM PWM 140MM HIGH PERFORMANCE FAN two of these both exhausting

Bottom one should be intake
Not exhaust?
Obviously noctua is a good make

I had the top one as intake but eventually the chamber got really warm so actually got better thermals getting rid of the heat from the graphics card

Tried top intake
Bottom exhaust?
Unusual but obviously it's not
A usual pc case

I figured if I had the bottom fan blowing slightly colder air up onto the GC would be better.ive tried both ways with both fans and its obv to me the GC needs watercooled.i have my 3950x cooled with an ek pe 360 kit I think it is and its never seeing much over 70 which I'm happy with.thoughi could only mount the pump to one hole in the thermaltake bracket.not a problem as it's 29kg empty and doesn't move lol

As long as the pump mount
Isn't vibrating yeah
Only got 1 screw holding mine
Though bottom of the mount
Is rubber which stops vibration
Anyway
So looks like you are set to
Water cool anyway
So the air flow you already have
Should suffice

Yea it's just the pump as Res bit that's confusing lol
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-xtop-spc-60-pwm-plexi-incl.-pump-wc-9az-ek.html and https://www.overclockers.co.uk/alph...mm-fluid-reservoir-black-white-wc-08a-ac.html is what I'm looking at I know now I need a male to male G1/4 to connect pump and Res I'm unsure if I need any plugs for the Res as it has 8 inlets.the pump has 1 inlet so you m unsure if I need 7 G1/4 plugs for the rad .I know this pump I can make fit as it's similar to my other pump

If you have an EK P360 kit why aren't you just adding a block and radiator to include your graphics card in that loop?

Thought about that but the 3950 is overclocked all core to 4.4 so it can get quite toasty and I don't want to add to the CPU temps.also pump at max is 250ltr an hr and don't think it would cope tbh.case is designed for two separate loops and it looks kinda barecon one side of the case.

Got the graphics card loop built today and when I took the stock cooler off there was at least a good 3rd of the die with no tim and very little on the rest of the die either.everything went smooth and I actually really enjoyed putting it all together.temps are a massive drop.played bff for an hr and never went above 45 degrees and hit 2165 on the core.it did hard lock at 2180mhz so that's the lower limit reached.i need a custom bios now lol.thanks everyone for your help it was much appreciated.best of all though is no more annoying ramping of the fans every 20 seconds
