That's a valid point since I only run 5600X on mine and it's been doing fine with just L12S. But I do like having watercooled system (and tinkering with things). Biggest reason for me wanting to upgrade to V2 is dual rad support to begin with. I also mine crypto casually while the machine isn't being used for gaming (which happens to be a lot unfortunately) and based on experiences with 3080 and 3090 FE, they need to spin the fans pretty loud to keep the VRAM temps in check while water cooling lets me off with a gentle hum.In the meantime, I bit the bullet and purchased the 3080TI FE. If 3090FE works out well enough in V2, I shouldn't have hard time getting rid of it and recouping what I paid in current climate.
