Watercooling help needed.

[NoPost]

Hi,

I'm planning to build my first LC setup ever.
I need your help getting right (all needed) parts for TR 3970x with one 360 rad in O11D XL.
I want a good quality setup for this CPU, any recommendations with a shopping list will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You'll need more than 1 360 rad for a start...

You will need a 60mm thick 360mm to handle the 435W that the 3970X can produce (assuming no overvaulting or overclocking!) with fast 1850RPM fans. If you want to overclock you're going to need more.

If you got two 30mm-thick 360mm rads with decent fans you should be able to cope with the TR 3970X, one in the floor and one in the side.
