I have decided to put my 3950X under water, no motherboard or RAM WC though as I believe it is a waste of money. Currently I have the Kraken X63
What brands should I look at?
1. No RGB
2. CPU and GPU (Will eventually be the EVGA FTW3 3080 Ultra but there is no card stock or blocks available)
3. Solid or flexi piping
4. Separate res/pump or all in one
5. Slim or thick rad
6. What fans to use
7. Where to position the rad, I had the rad at the front of the case which gave much better CPU cooling performance than the top which is where I have it now. I believe that is due to the ambient case temps affecting the radiator pulling air out of the top instead of pulling it in through the front.
As a starting point I put together something from EK
