So I purchased a new case, mobo, PSU, and CPU:
- 9700k
- Z390 Aorus Master
- 750w Plus Gold Seasonic
- NZXT H500
The biggest issue I'm running into is cooling, since I heard it runs very hot. I have a 240mm cooler in my old case and a H80i V2 laying around that I never got to use. Basically, my GPU has about 2/10th of inch clearance with my AIO in the front of the case (only place I can put it). I'm not sure if that's enough room for my 1080 ti? My thought was to use the H80i on the top for CPU cooling - but I don't think it will be sufficient with some OC'ing.
Cliffs: Is H80i enough cooling for slightly OC 9700k? If not, is 2/10th an inch clearance enough for my GPU from fan/radiator?
Thanks!
