despite being an x470 chipset, that board doesn't have very good vrms...
also the 2700x comes with a decent stock cooler, so you shouldn't need an aftermarket cooler if you're going to watercool anyway.

Thanks. Would you recommend a cpu/move? I’m using existing w/c setup.

I’d like to but my only machine is in bits. After a tube split and spilt water. It won’t power on. It’s probs jut the motherboard but not sure whether wasting money trying is worth it

I’ve ended up with a b grade socket 1151 in the hopes I only drowned my board! Arriving tomorrow so fingers crossed
