Hello!
I would like to buy the Coolermaster H500M to install my current configuration by adding a watercooling on my two graphics cards. My CPU is cooled by a Noctua NH-D15. I would like to keep it, it is effective and I "decorated" it with the Chromax kit. Except, that's one of the reasons I'm here looking for an answer, I read in a few places that it was a bad idea to only cool GPUs with water and not the CPU. While the opposite does not shock anyone...... The arguments put forward, such as the air in the box is hot so the CPU is badly cooled, hardly convince me, especially since in my case my cards sometimes get very hot and my CPU stays "fresh". Before I start assembling two waterblocks and the rest of the installation I came to see if anyone could give me an explanation that would convince me to spend 200 more.
My second question is more specific to the desired case. It is a classic case, equipped with two large fans at the front (200mm). Two 360° radiators can be installed at the top and front. Except that the two large front fans are, I imagine, not designed to work properly with a radiator, their static pressure being low. Do you think I should change them for three 120mm fans designed for CPU radiators or radiators or that I can "make up for it" by installing three fans in pull position? What is the loss of efficiency between the pull and the push'?
I think I'm going to start my watercooling circuit from my boards to the radiator at the top and then to the one on the front. The air introduced into the box would be relatively fresh. Am I right or am I wrong?
My config is as follows.
Motherboard. Asus TUF z270 mark1
Cpu: I7-7700k delid with copper IHS (when you love you don't count)
Graphics Card: Asus 1080ti in SLI
RAM: 16 giga in DDR 4
Samsung SSD 960 PRO Disc 512GB
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 (TYPE hdd 2T)
That's it, I thank you already for your answers, and I apologize to the moderators
if I haven't seen the topic with these same questions.
