Hey guys,
Looking to upgrade my loop and system in time for Zen 3 with RTX 3080 / 3090 (undecided) and dual loop - I'm going full enthusiast as much as I can this time round, so saving money isnt a priority but I dont want to overspend where I dont have to.
I had my heart set on buying 2x XSPC RX480mm Rads 56mm thick and sticking 4 120MM Noctua NF F12 fans on each, I have already bought the gargantuan Thermatake Super Tower 900 for this project, still not my favourite design but the only case that came close to fitting a dual loop that wasnt too tight or stupidly priced. Back to the rads....
Those rads have since gone discontinued, smaller RX variants are still available so I'm guesing that Rad wasnt selling or they have a replacement lined up, however that still leaves me with a choice to make. I currently have EK Slim line rads in my current loop that are not going to be re-used. Do I go with as thick as I can get EK rads or is there a better option(s) I've been looking at fin density and thickness as recommended to do so and I'm not entirely sure. I'm going to continue looking at whats available but I thought I'd post here to get some insight from any others who have been doing this longer than me or have better access.
Appreciate any input guys cheers
