Those are all fair points. The main reason I'm motivated to go dual radiator is for additional thermal mass- the 5900X and 3080FE generate a decent amount, and the temps I have now are fine in my cardboard box, but I expect them to run a bit toasty when crammed in a case. Presumably even dual 240 rads with one running single slim fan is better cooling thanks to that additional thermal mass.Alternatively I could conceivably go with a 120mm radiator for side mounting with a single slim fan? Not sure if that's any better though.Also, is this the radiator/pump combo you're recommending? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002069693603.html I'm wondering how well it'd fit in there...
