Hello there! I will be building a new gaming PC tomorrow.
Specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600Mhz CL16 16GB(2x8GB) Black
GPU: ASUS TUF RTX 3070 V2 Gaming OC LHR
CPU Cooler: Fractal Design Lumen S24 240mm AIO
PSU: Cooler Master V SFX 750 Watts 80+ Gold Fully Modular
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB Nvme SSD (for games), Samsung 970 Evo Plus 250 GB( boot drive)
Case: Cooler Master NR200P Black
Initially, I wanted to mount the AIO using the side mounting rail that the NR200P comes with. But upon further research into the AIO, the pump is located in the radiator.
1. Will it be okay to mount the AIO at the bottom of the case and what would be a good placement for the tubes if I do go for the bottom AIO mount?
2. Since I am getting 2 NVMe SSD's, will the PCIE x16 slot on the motherboard be x8 only with the GPU installed? I read the online manual from Asus' website with no indication whatsoever regarding my query.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
