Got my CPU test set-up ready, the majority of these components are ready for the MJOLNIR when it arrives, parts consist of:

• i9-9900KF (Relidded with copper heat spreader and liquid metal) - Bios Limited to 95W
• Aorus Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI
• PLEXTOR PX-256S2G
• 32gb DDR4 - 3000
• 1050ti - used for testing due to KF chip
• HDPLEX 200W DC-ATX
• 330w Dell power Brick

Watercooling components:

• Corsair Hydro X Series, XC7 RGB CPU Water Block
• EK-XTOP SPC-60 PWM - 60% PWM setting (almost silent on open test bench)
• Various fittings (2 2 G1/4 quick release fittings sets, 4 x 16/10 compression fittings, Tubing and 90 degree angles)

Monitoring components:

• Thermaltake Pacific Liquid Cooling System Temperature Sensor
• RoboPeak display (powered by Aida64)

Planned test method:

1. Record radiator and Fan combinations
2. Record CPU package temp, water temp, ambient temp, Flow rate, fan RPM, pump RPM. all at desktop
3. 30 min run of Prime 95 (small FTT)
4. Record CPU package temp, water temp, ambient temp at end of run

2. 26c, 23c, 20.5c, ~75L/H, 930RPM, 1,850RPM
3. Run completed
4. 61c, 34c, 21c

1. Slim 240mm radiator (CoolWorld 240) & 1 x Noctua NF-F12 PWM and 6 x Noctua NF-A4x10 - all to 60% (almost silent on open test bench)
2. 26c, 22c, 21c, ~70L/H, 930RPM / 2,800 RPM, 1,850RPM
3. Run completed
4. 57c, 30c, 21c

Fourth Test:[spoiler]

Before:

After:

[/spoiler]

1. Akasa A10 Venom AIO & 1 x Noctua NF-F12 PWM all to 60% (almost silent on open test bench, pump gurgles occasionally)
2. 27c, N/A , 20.5c, N/A, 930RPM, 2,450RPM
3. Run completed
4. 63c, N/A, 20c

My plan is to run multiple tests, comparing different radiators and AIO's (if I can find the ones I had in my garage somewhere). Then plan on repeating with bigger loop incluing GPU (undervolted)
