Contemplating my first attempt to do a full custom water cooling with parts from alphacool. I have a delidded 8700k with conductonaut applied between the die and ihs and between the die and the Noctua d15. Cpu is clock to 5ghz. Current peak temperature is 84C with ambient at 30C running the latest version of Prime95 set smallest with avx. Gpu is the Asus Strix 2080ti OC and is overclocked and temperature peak at 77C.
I plan to set up the loop going through first to the gpu and then to top radiator set to exhaust(push). Then to cpu block and then to front radiator set to pull(in). Both radiator will 360mm at 30mm thickness. Back top exhaust is noctua nf-f14 and radiator fan will be latest noctua a12x25.
My first attempt at custom water cooling and not too sure what I can expect if I capped fan speed at maximum 50%(most fan will be very quiet at this point). Comments from those who had actually done water cooling would be very much appreciated.
