The Noctua NH-D15S with an i9-7980XE? ... Jesus....
You know I am Austrian and Noctua NH-D15S is designed in Austria, but definitely not for the i9-7980XE...
We are talking about 300W-400W to be dissipated..
I wound up with the Lian-Li PC-10NB case. It is designed for a 240mm radiator mounted on the side of the case on a hinged door. I plan on having push-pull Noctua NF-12PWM fans on a Corsair AIO H100i v2. fans will be driven off the motherboard. There really isn't room in this case for the NH-D15S. I would have to use a NH-C14S or BeQuiet Dark Rock TF for air cooling. Ya think the H100i v2 will get the job done? I REALLY need a leak free sealed system instead of a custom loop.
Buying the remaining parts to complete the build tonight.
