I do a lot of DAW work and need a silent rig, plus I looking for a winter project. This is my first time building a custom loop.
The case will be the Corsair 2500x. CPU currently is a 9950X.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Alphacool Core 1 water block
Corsair XD6 pump reservior
2x Alphacool NexXxos XT45 radiators
Not sure if I'm going hard or soft tubing. I know soft is easier to work with and flows better but hard looks cool and I'm experienced with plumbing so not worried about bending and fitting tubes.
The plan is lots of low headloss radiator area and low speed fans to provide a lot of thermal headroom so fans don't ramp up.
Any advice appreciated.
