Seasonic Gx / Nzxt C are the best ones. But the Corsair RM is a decent unit as well.

depends on the wall and what's in it. makes a big difference whether it's a hollow drywall or solid concrete with lots of piping and wiring in between.

so no water cooler. a 3600 is more than fine on basically any 25-35$ cooler. it's not really that hard to cool.

nickel plating and copper is fine. unless the rads are leaking there's no need to replace them.

no issue. 1nd 4+4=8 pin, 2nd you only plug in one of the 4+4 into the 4pin slot. or you don't. it's not really necessary you connect the pump to a pump/fan header, the radiator fans to the CPU_fan header I suggest you buy some 45°/90° fittings as well. the included straight fittings are nice...

looks like it.

the TL-WR940N isn't a modem and only a WiFi router that as far as I can see isn't able to handle a DSL signal

no. both can be controlled by the mainboard (given that it's not a 25% offbrand). one by adjusting the voltage (40-100%) the other one by PWM (20-100%). to choose it kinda depends on your mainboard. some mainboards don't have true PWM headers for all SYS_FAN headers.

what's the loop order? a single 360rad is enough to keep both parts performing. keeping both really cool is a different story. depending on your GPU I suspect you might need more rad space or better airflow. but 78°C shouldn't hamper your performance

and you're only cooling the CPU? Seems indeed highish to me. my 3700X is a bit weaker but doesn't go over like 64°C when gaming. do you have a temperature sensor for the coolant as well?

what custom loop have you build? 120mm rad? 480mm rad? which coolant? pump speed? 82°C under Cinebench doesn't look too bad actually tbh.

thanks for the reply. the 7000d looks quite nice. I got a decent deal on the Phanteks 719 and closed the deal though. I must say, it's quite nice. there's certainly better cases to get the most rad space out of however with the PSU behind the mainboard tray there's so much space to store...

not sure something like this exists. my mainboard can set a temp according to the PCIe slot temperature --- but that's nowhere near the GPU temperature. you could however set up a profile for when gaming, where you ramp up the chassis fan

the VK120 are pwm fans and come with 4pin connectors. no idea where you found 3 pin fan headers. doesn't say anything about that on the product page or the manual - apart from the RGB headers. but those are for RGB control and aren't fan headers. the fan should be 4pin and connect to a 4pin...

the Lancool II Mesh is almost unbeatable in terms of temps if I recall correctly. that being said, you really can't go wrong with either and the difference isn't really all that noteworthy.
