Hi all,
The spool up and down of my stock CPU cooler (Ryzen R3600) is driving me nuts, Plan was to upgrade cooler when I upgrade to one of the newer Ryzens, but I can't wait.
When I chose my case I was not considering AIO's and figured a big air cooler, I was settled on the Dark rock 4 Pro. GPU gave me second thoughts, its a triple fan card so big. If I get something like a Dark rock pro 4 or a Noctua NH-uh12, am I not stealing the Vega of cooling space from my intake / exhaust pathway?
Case is Phanteks p300a
Current CPU Ryzen 3600
GPU Sapphire Vega 64.
Fan set up currently 2 front 140mm intakes top 120mm exhaust, rear 120mm exhaust.
I can't go dual radiator if I go AIO as it has to be mounted at front of case and that's where I have two 140mm fans to help cool the gpu, so I was thinking one 120 AIO in top...
TLDR
Will a dark rock pro 4 take up too much space in my small ish case affecting the cooling of my Vega 64?
I'm more fussed on the cpu cooler being quiet then outright performance, been worried pump sounds from a AIO would irritate me, but now I'm thinking some of the big air coolers are too big! (I know they fit physically)
