So doing a tower build mostly to try and achieve something quieter than what a rack server would offer, didn’t think about CPU coolers until everything arrived so went to local Best buy, kinda digging the dual water cooler aesthetic. Waiting on RAM to arrive still but also have a question.
Currently I have the CPU header split for the radiator fan and pump, is that ok or should I split the system fans with the pump. I guess I could also get a molex pump controller but don’t think I need one.
Where’s the rest of the RAM slots? Should have 8 per CPU, not 8 total.
Where’s the rest of the x16 slots? 2x Xeon’s for that gen have 80 total lanes, I only see 2 x16 slots which you can use just fine with 1 CPU.
My 2687w’s score the same R15/R20/R23 multi-core as my single 5900x. Kinda sad really but with 256gb RAM and either 4x 12gbps SAS drives or 8 6gbps SATA drives and up to 4 GPU’s it’s still a beast, abit a bit power hungry.
As for the AIO’s…you want 2 dedicated headers for the pump that you can set to 100% then put the curves on the radiator mounted fans. As the other poster suggested I’d try to get both radiators on top rather than the current setup, that way you’ll still have intake/exhaust fans to try to keep the rest of the system cool.
