damn! fair play .

no rush indeed

few weeks might see if ryzen 2 can hit 4000hz speed and might give a solid shoot for being a pure gaming CPU

thats an HDR monitors will be out

Each to their own

I don't mind either , actually prefer non Overclock specific version from both

But I like to squeeze the pennies for performance haha

Will go for the LT

Meant to ask. Will I have to wash the rad out?

And a silly question. I will be using a fractle define design r6 Do I have to open the door when in use?

Eisbaer LT is just plug and play. Already prefilled !

And yes, will have to open the door.

Another option , cheaper and not as pretty but silent

360 in top still allows bottom 5.3" bay to be used

cheers. I sort of had my heart set on the r6 or the s340. If I did go for the r6 if I went for the LT240 in stead and I bottom mounted the rad would that keep things a bit cooler inside since the front fans will still be in place?

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 14:46

I think you may get away with 240 AIO with Delid as you should be running 15-20c cooler when overclocked .
Thermal grizzly paste will help to

Might want to think about silent loop 240 just for 30mm Vs 25mm of the same rad design

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 14:51

can the silent loop be re-filled?

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 14:58

also if I went for 360mm front mount, would bottom mounting some fans help with cooling the gpu and other stuff?

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 15:08

Yes, but it's not designed to be taken apart due to warranty , though it can as it uses compression fittings, were as Eisbaer has quick disconnects installed .

Fans at bottom would help with airflow direct to GPU and maintain high positive pressure

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 15:57

thanks so I will go for the 360 Alphacool in front and a couple of fans at the bottom. Cant wait to order all this stuff. Its been a while since I built.

Hose length should be long enough . Alphacool site should state it's length

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 16:37

yeah its fine I think. 32cm. Will go 120mm silent wings on the rad and case fans

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 16:50

When I change and put in the case fans should I just connect them to the fan controller or mobo?

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 18:17

How ever you want , but with the pump, connect to a system fan header and set to 100% with rpm warning !
I normally have fans on CPU headers

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 18:50

is all fans on headers a better option?

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 18:56

Depends on the person, I have fans for AIO on CPU headers. Pumps on another system header. Then group front fans to one header , and exhaust fans to another header

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 19:23

Ah ok. I may go for corsaor ML120s for the RAD I have heard good reviews for them

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 19:43

There not to bad, loud compared to pure wings at lower rpm and can't match silent wings .
Eisbaer fans aren't to bad, but are switching to bequiet ones for other models

Actually had all the data for the ML fans , seems the actual tech of it is quite old. I get told this stuff but just flies out my ears haha

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 20:08

ok Thanks

Should I go for the silent wings 3 high speed or just the standard silent wings 3?
