I have a new build using the parts in my sig. Currently using 2x140mm intakes, 2x140mm top of case out flow and 1x120mm outflow on the rear. Case is a maingear Vybe 2019 case. Current CPU cooler is a Notcua NH-U12A with dual 120mm fans.
With my i9-9900k OC'ed to 5Ghz gaming temps never reach above 60-65 deg C but when using OCCT or Prime CPU can get in the high 80's. While this is probably fine, I'm not about to settle for 'OK' CPU temps. I want this thing COLD!
All the AIO solutions out there appear to be made to 2 brands (Asetek, CoolIIT) and all have issues and benefits, but I'm thinking it's time I do my first hard-line tube build. I would prefer to get this right on the first attempt, so outside of searching this forum for options, was hoping you hardline cooler people might recommend a good place or 2 to start with for researching a new build and whats parts are best? Is there a particular website out there where everyone is buying their components these days (pumps, lines, connections, ect)?
Thanks for any basic guidance to this Newb hard-line water cooling...person. Thanks.
