Very nice.
I would love to do a full water cool. Just don't know how..and a little afraid 😂

Its not this hard. Petg tubes cost only few bucks to test some bends. There are 1000 tutorials on youtube if you need them.

i run air cooling on my setup and doesnt go over 45c on even the most demanding games.

i personally dont see liquid cooling worth the trouble or the risk.

For your setup maybe yes but what happen if you want render a video and double your cpu consumption? Right your air cooler will blow up, so yes in general there is demand for liquid cooling.

air coolers dont "blow up" lol

Right it was a joke but 100°C and thermalthrottling is not better.

neither of those is likely to happen on my setup.

That really doesn't happen unless you're running a 250W+ TDP chip like a Threadripper 3990X with an air cooler designed for cooling less than that in thermal watts, in specific loads, while using a rather significant amount of cores.

Liquid cooling seems like it's really far ahead of air cooling... but it really isn't. All that makes a cooler effective is the heatsink and the fans that are dissipating that heat, and with liquid, the pump's ability to keep the liquid moving in the loop.
However, while it may look like liquid cools much better, it's not, because liquid can absorb much more heat than air before the temperatures increase by a single degree, over ten times that of a simple air cooler. That doesn't mean it cools ten times better, it only makes it takes longer for heat to build up in the loop. You still need a good radiator fin array with a lot of surface area, you still need good fans that can adequately send air through the radiator fins, and you need a good pump.

At the end of the day, CLCs are really only a few degrees ahead of air coolers, and custom loops are often within 10 degrees of CLCs. If you want to talk superior cooling performance, you're basically getting into LN2 territory.

For my it's too costly. If you watch videos about them and learn. But if you feel unsafe with custom loop the AIO is a option or air cooling.

yes, I have the Corsair H100iV2

My 9900k had 230w, my 10900k way above 300w and my gpu has 450w power draw. Its not like i dont agree with "its not cooler or you need enough surface area". This is my point aio's have extrem low amount of surface area and at this point custom comes in play. How many water has an aio? 100ml? I think 2x 2500ml can make a difference like in my loop.

Btw there is something between water and ln2. Ek's QuantumX Delta TEC will release soon and i cant wait for it.

The pump makes as large of a difference as the radiator thickness, because if the pump is just awful then the overall performance isn't as good as it could be.

I've used cheap and expensive AIOs, cheaper units often have garbage pumps. I saw a Deepcool 120EX cool just as well as a Cooler Master ML240L.

My deepcool 360 V2 does a fantastic job with the 3700X

I have 3800x with DEEPCOOL Captain 240PRO Addressable RGB and no issues either.

I have the same cooler as Kobs, no problems with a 3900X at max load. No need to custom loop Ryzen in its current state when you can't really overclock.

What I can get around 4.7 to 5.0ghz on my cpu.
But yes not all ryzen chips can overclock.
Not all are made equal.

4.7+ GHz all-core is beyond gold level silicon lottery for a 3800X, but if you didn't properly stress test it, no surprise that it's not crashing. Just because it POSTs, doesn't mean it's stable, and if you're using more than 1.325v, it's not going to last because in a high current load you'd be pushing more voltage than the silicon fitness would normally allow on auto, which is designed in part to protect the chip. Without silicon fitness, high voltage during high current loads will inevitably ruin the chip over time and destroy its ability to maintain the clocks it once handled. It's ultimately best to leave it to Precision Boost, because the gains from a manual overclock compared to the voiding of the warranty and potential damage to the chip just makes it an awful idea.

Compared to Intel, pre-Zen3 chips can't get a meaningful overclock without serious risk to the chip or using LN2, while Zen3 was a definite improvement, but Comet Lake can still overtake it if the overclocks are high enough. Most Ryzen chips, Precision Boost will give similar or even better gaming performance than a manual overclock.

I know how silicon lottery works. Most 3900Xs can hardly push above 4.2 GHz all-core.
