Hello SFF and Sliger fans!
A week ago I placed an order for a SM 580 from Density.sk and I'm now trying to decide on the rest of my system parts.
I'm setting up a PC that will be used mostly for CAD design and rendering but I might also return my warlock from retirement and game a little (WoW and WoW Classic). I have a 32" 4K Dell 3219Q monitor at work and my old 24" 1440p Dell at home
The parts that I'm 100% sure of purchasing right now are:
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X or 3900XT if I find it available soon
- ASUS ROG Strix X570 I motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x32GB memory kit (CMK64GX4M2D3600C18)
- EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Ftw3 Ultra Gaming
- Corsair SF750 Platinum
- Gigabyte Aorus 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
- WD Blue SN550 2TB PCIe 3.0 SSD
I haven't decided on the CPU cooling yet. I was leaning towards NZXT's 280mm Kraken X63 but don't want to mess with the CAM software, but if I can set the RGB and then I can uninstall it and run the pump and fan settings from BIOS, I'll be fine with it
My questions for the owners of similar setups:
1) What are your full load CPU and GPU temps?
2) Should I go for 280mm CPU + air-cooled GPU or consider an alternative option such as 140mm Kraken X42 + Hybrid EVGA?
3) If the kraken cannot be controlled without the CAM software, which do you think is the best AIO brand?
4) Any suggestions or remarks regarding the parts I listed above?
