Ordered a 3080 TUF OC on Dec 1, today got noticed by the store that they likely will not be able to deliver until August, and asked me if I wanted to trade up or down.
Unfortunately it doesn't really matter, since I'm waiting for a 5900X also... :S
But, the founder edition are quite some masterpiece and looks damn so flawless.
I even hesitate to keep the 3070 FE just for my shelves
Im going with the 3080 FE edition myself (When I can find one).
I got a ITX inwin a1 plus case. I need the rear venting fan to get what heat out it can. Now even with a 1080ti FE edition with it's full rear venting, opening the side of the case is like a toaster oven as it is.
Can't imagine the case air temp with a 3080 and cooling fans that blow 100% into the case.

No that's the big black anal toy they send you to insert so they can ream your ass on the price while you install it.

Yes its for both, 2x 360s (3cm thick). Loop order would not matter much with these parts, CPU is very hard to cool due to 7nm and small surface area, i had before Arctic Freezer 360 II for the CPU, custom loop gave like 5C better temps, need to test out temp spikes how this handles them tho.
Yea separate loops make no difference (well negligible) once each loops heat is saturated to equilibrium.
Lets say there is 5c difference in loop water temps if separate. That does not translate to 5c increase in the lower temp device if loops are combined, as water is not 100% efficient in heat transfer.
The amount of heat one can remove on one device, is not greater than two radiators can remove shared.
The lower temp device might go up a couple of degrees (the mean difference between the heat actually removed into the water that is residual after rads remove as much as they can). But since two rads are removing the heat from both that difference is not worth worrying about. Unless you are in a situation where a few degrees makes the difference on a stable insane overclock on the edge of stability.
Your room ambient air temp would play a bigger role in the eventual stabilized temps than the shared/single rad difference.

Nah, one good loop An extra RAD adds more heat and more airflow required to cool it, so more noise. A decent 360 Triple thick RAD, with a good flow pump to push it will do
Welcome to the club Breezer_!! Nice layout, nice setup indeed, well done
Once on water, you will never go back to air
Little tip. Once you fill that RES, do not shut up shop yet Let it run for a few days, and it will drop an inch suddenly, no, it's not leaking, all normal Top off, then close it all off, but always leave a 10mm gap at top regardless
@scara you saying one decent 360 rad is enough for both cpu & gpu.
I’m running a decent 360 rad on my cpu at the moment but will be adding my 3080 to the loop at some point and I was going to add another rad intake at the front of the case.
Like my ultra wide now watercooling, just can’t go back man 😀
@Breeezer nice setup, very clean and great looking lines on that soft tubing.
I’m planning adding my gpu to the loop and was thinking about the same orientation as yours for the front rad. One thing that’s bothering me though is that you won’t be able to drain the loop with the rad hoses at the top. The whole rad would still be full after draining wouldn’t it?
Or do some rads come with outputs at the other end. Mine doesn’t.
The full kit cost like around 500 euros, half the price of reference 6900XT. Worth of every penny, not a single sound of the PC and it runs 45C on the GPU and max 60C on CPU.
I have an issue with how the hoses dangle right in the center of the case and I don't mean your setup, but all liquid cooling setups. How come nobody considered doing something about that and hide the hoses somehow. At least with air cooling, the cable can be nicely tucked away and not visible - it just ruins a neatly done cable management.
Its underwater all now ;0, shitty pic with iPhone. Temsps dropped almost 40C compared to air cooling.
Damn. Now that's a proper cooling setup (and yes, I'm jelly). And seeing as how you just need to replace the waterblock when they change the cpu/gpu form factor/socket it's quite future proof as well when you buy new hardware. I guess the pump might be a weak factor since it's a mechanical part but usually the high quality ones are designed and built for longevity.

Thanks, its authentic D5 pump with Bykski branding, so very reliable and lasts very long (its design has magnetic levitation inside).Every year this needs little maintenance, just flush it with battery water or so, since im using clear liquid, so it wont gunk up whole shit.

) it might be a good idea to install that in order to avoid GPU impotence in the future.
