Not sure the 120mm is strictly necessary

Even though it adds to the cost
I personally like to use 2 pumps 1 for redundancy
Pumps are pretty reliable but not immune
To failure
Certainly room in the primo
I had 2 of the ek pump combo in my primo

Actually got a quantum kinetic pump/res for sale in MM
I liked those but switched to a distro now

Edit
And that corsair price is shocking

I want to try keep noise to a minimum. I think 1 pump combo esp with 1500lh will be enough (almost twice as powerful as the corsair for roughly the same cost). The reason I thought to put a 120mm there at the back as thats normally where Id have a case fan, might as well add a 120 rad there, I'll see how the costs are and if too much I can always remove it. The corsair costs, now that I've been googling around, are laughable.

Sometimes it's not a this is right that's wrong
Just personal preference or opinion
I think 1200mm of rad adding 120mm won't make a difference
I would rather have a 120mm fan at rear
For some airflow that's not going through a radiator

Same with 2 pumps
It's not 1 won't have enough flow
It's the pc downtime if the pump fails

Talking of which
Did we mention a flowmeter in component list ?

Temp sensor was mentioned, unless I've missed it, dont think flowmeter was listed, I'll add it to my ever expending list hehe. Skipping the 120mm rad may actually not be a bad idea and converting it to air only could save me a fair bit, thats £80-£100 on rad and fittings saved if I do that.

I would personally agree with ditching the 120 exhaust at the rear. I think you'll get a lot more value out of just using it to shift the hot air out of the case and having 2 of your 3 rads as intake. That much rad area is absolute overkill anyway.

Also, if you want to save a pretty significant amount of cash given how many fans you're using (and you don't desperately want *all* the RGB) then you could probably swap over to some non-RGB fans that cost less than £30 a pop.

Done. I'm happy to ditch the rear exhaust. My intakes would be bottom and front with the top exhausting, and of course the back now. I used to think the RGB is really cringe but I do like them a little more now. If I wasnt getting the LL120's I'd certainly go for the ML120's. I'll see what the costs are as the fans will probably be one of the last things I buy.

I'm hoping Watercool announce the Heatkiller V Pro block for the suprim/trio 4090 soon so that it matches the cpu block. Thats kinda what I'm waiting for.

corsair fans are just loud. wouldn't bother with those.

I have corsair and noctua at the moment. Both great and low rp are deadly silent. What fans would you recommend that are quieter ?

not just about the noise but the amount of air they push through at that noise. I run arctic P12 fans on my system. Run them about 900rpm and they are quiet.
