Whoa, calm down. Not to mention "I want a x299 cooling system" sounds like you didn't know if you were using an AIO or not. I didn't say your build was crap, just said that it makes no sense going on the low end for components. You are planning to spend money on a lot of products, why get cheap fans that can fail on you? Honestly, You may want to consider Noctua fans as the move the most air with being as quiet as possible.

That is a very unbalanced build. First off, why do you want a X299 board? What will you try to gain from it? Second those CPUs will generate a lot of heat, so cheap cooling is not idea here. Why not go for a more mainstream build?

You can't expect to spend a lot of a CPU and motherboard, but then cheap out on everything else.

First off I'm using a corsair water cooler so back off. And the fans are just case fans, btw I'm trying the lowest form of this build. And second off you don't know the rest of my build, if you're convinced I'm going absolute crap on the rest of my components let me tell you I am using a gtx 1080ti

Wait what? You necessarily don't need an AIO to keep a CPU cool. You can get away with a air cooler. Noctua's D15 and Cryorig R1 Ultimate has already proven that. However, this is a new socket. So now you have to wait until manufacturers create the backplate to fit any cooler.

I wouldn't go off tht one review, being that QuietPC is reputable. But, depending on the case, and if you have in radiators, we are talking about 3-4 fans. Two in takes, one exhaust and possible one for the CPU cooler, if you go that route. If you going the AIO route, then a push/pull, which is 4 in itself.

Well that's the cost for paying for premium parts. You don't want a high end CPU that will generate a lot of heat and not be able to cool it. Also, you are getting a 1080 Ti, which will also generate hit, even a triple-fan one.

Well, you could also go the Ryzen route. It's a bit better, cheaper, and doesn't require as much. Plus AM4 backplates are a thing now.

Side note, you starting going overkill when you mentioned the X299 and 1080 Ti. the CPUs for that socket will not be cheap. I hope you don't mean the 7740 or 7640 as those are pretty much the same as the Z270, just 100mhz more clock and no intel quick sync.
