So I recently upgraded my mobo to an ASUS TUF x299 Mark 2 and my CPU to an i7-7740x for gaming and I've noticed that while heavy load, my CPU temps are reaching 80C and onwards. I have a standard air fan for cooling and I know it's not helping so I'm thinking to upgrade to a H100i v2 liquid cooler. I'm just wondering if it's compatible with my case (eg. Will it fit correctly, Is my case too small, Is it dimensionally compatible, Is there enough physical space for sufficient airflow, Is there enough space for both the fans ... etc).
Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 (Red)
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 2133MHz Vengeance LPX (Black) (not OC yet)
CPU: i7-7740X (not OC yet)
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (not OC yet)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF x299 Mark 2 (LGA 2066 Socket)
Power Supply Unit: RM650x 650W
Cooler (currently): Thermaltake Red Riing Silent 12 Multi Socket CPU Cooler
Cooler (planning to get): Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My sincerest apologies if this has been answered previously.
Thanks!
