Hey all,
Sometime next month i'm going to be investing in a new watercooleld rig from scan which is essentially the following:
https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/shared/ae2a8047-5bd0-4dc0-a312-1f17eef9c58f
However, i do have some concerns with the build that i'd like your opinions on if possible.
My first concern is in relation to the water cooling solution that scans providing with it, looking online on various sites including EK's I've noticed that it's common practice to use 120mm of radiator per component and allow an extra 120mm as extra. Now the reason i'm worried is the system I've linked not only has an overclocked CPU but also has a GTX 1080 in it's loop while only having one 240mm - 40mm thick radiator. Is this actually ok for this system? i wasn't sure wither the fact that the radiators thicker then usual would compensate so i thought i'd ask, scan tells me it's perfectly acceptable but i thought i'd get another persons opinion.
The second concern i would like to know about relates to dust. My room gets dusty quite quick and while it shouldn't be much of an issue due to dust filers and such i was wondering what kind of effect dust build up can cause on watercooling components such as pipes ext.
Thanks for any advice.
Alex.
