Hi,
I currently have the following:
CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler
Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard
Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory
Storage
Samsung SM951 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card
Case
Cougar PANZER EVO RGB ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply
Corsair RMx (2018) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor
Acer Predator XB271HUA 27.0" 2560x1440 165 Hz Monitor
Keyboard
Cougar DEATHFIRE EX Wired Gaming Keyboard With Optical Mouse
When I upgrade to a Ryzen 9 3950x, I'm considering replacing the Noctua with a ASUS ROG Ryujin 360 OLED AIO CPU Cooler . Will it fit? Just to clarify: clearly the radiator will fit accross the top of this case (where I'd like to put it), but will there be room to stack the fans below the radiator on the inside? Would I have to put the fans above the radiator (on top of / outside the case filter) - which doesn't sound great.
(Obviously I can get out a ruler etc but it would be nice to hear from someone who's actually built a similar rig.)
Any other suggestions?
Happy with the Noctua for the R5 3600, but I'd like to overclock the R9 3950x and apparently liquid cooling is needed for that.
Thanks.
