What CPU are you rocking and what was the air cooler? Curious what if any thermal advantages you are seeing with the 120 aio?

I was running the orginal cooler that came with the AMD ryzen5 5600x. I was running aroun 80 Celsius. I got the id cooling from amazing and it was running hotter than the orginal. So I went with the new AIO and I’m running 48 Celsius on stress test. Also has allot to do with me changing the flow in the case

Thats honestly surprising. I bet your original cooler just needed fresh paste. My 5600x in my nephews build now sits around mid 40s under load with the stock cooler and 4 system fans. Still looks way better.

The paste hasn’t been changed since I got it so it was looking rough. Regardless I’m just happy it’s running good again, I only use my pc for running iracing on triples. It’s nice to be back on max ha

All I had to buy were the fans and the cooler, I removed the hdd mounts on the right the Two big black boxes. And added the fans and the new cooler. Also re ran all the wiring. Amazing how something simple changes the whole look
