During the autumn part of 2020 I decided its was time to swap out my current pc case for one that allowed for better space and cable managment. Ended up with 2 case options caselabs tx10 or thermaltake wp200. You can guess which one I got cause its the only one I could find available new and and an extra P200 to go with it. I’d still buy the caselabs tx10 if someone sold them new or used.
Then ran into a delema. My current corsair hydro x custom loop is not sufficient enough for my pc as I have a mid-high idle 37-44 C. Currently I can’t really complain about the corsair stuff it does the job well. i want something a bit beefer and down the rabbit hole go again.
My question is what is better for my cpu 480mm vs 560 rads? I plan one using EKWB rads and pump/res combo along with the optimus absolute trx40 cpu waterblock. Next problem is which fans to use as I like corsairs rgb fans these product which led me to buy their custom cooling kit. I want to keep the same rgb contollers and other items. EKWB pump/res combo units have their own rgb as well as their vadar fans with rgb. I like the corsair rgb aesthetic but is it better to go with EKWB’s fans for rad cooling?
