Yo guys whats going on,today i'm taking my next step towards upgrading my PC ever since my last GPU overheated and became a useless piece of junk,kinda sad actually since it was a EVGA 980 Ti,anyways today my inquiry is about either getting the 2 heatpipe Cooler Master GeminII S524 Version 2 upgraded from the stock cooler that came with the CPU,will it actually make a big difference between the 2 heat pipe cooler or the 4 heat pipe one? (my CPU is an intel 4790k processor).


Also i was wondering if the Asus GTX 1080 ti would be overkill for a Dell Gaming Monitor S2417DG YNY1D 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit TN with G-SYNC, QHD 2560 x 1440, 165Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms , and is the monitor worth the price?
and what's the best way to keep the GPU cool?
I am purchasing 2 corsair 140 mm to mount them from the top of the case in order to produce airflow downwards towards the GPU and the overall case with better cooling.

Yours,
El

> The Cryorig H7 is same price but a much better performer than the Gemini. You should get that.

> 1080ti is fine for 1440p/165hz, if you wanna push ultra on most games. Anything less, and you might see stutters specially on higher settings.

> Top fan should always be exhaust and not intake as hot air from the card, tends to go up... https://www.howtogeek.com/303078/how-to-manage-your-pcs-fans-for-optimal-airflow-and-cooling/

So from what i can understand is that i should place the 2 120mm fans on their open side facing the CPU in order for the them to absorb and the heat and expel them from the top right? It'll also suck the heat out of the circuit board from the GPU theoretically right?
 
Your case should have a exhaust on the back by default. So your 120mm from the coolers should face that, so that the hot air eminating from the processor is helped straight away on its way out through the back and top. You can also alligh it to blow out the top, but setting it that way would be a bit tedious.
