Hi all, I have been pushed into a new build by Windows and my recent acquisition of borderlands 4.My current system is 17 years old (GFX card maybe 10 years old) and whilst it will run BL4 it does it very badly. I have decided to go water cooled as I have always wanted to build one myself and noise is a big issue as it will be in the living room in my house. I think I have decided on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950 CPU, an RTX 5080 GPU, a ASRock X870E Taichi mobo and a HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite. Now comes the tricky bit the water cooling I can go with the closed loop options for CPU and GPU but then I would have 2 radiator blocks, so I think the better option( and more fun for me) would be to create my own loop with hard tubing.
The water cooling I am looking at is the Alphacool Core 1 Aurora CPU Water Block but for the RTX 5080 there are 2 options I can see, either buy a card and add my own block or buy a card with a block already on it but I can only find one of the latter. And I would need a radiator and a reservoir which I haven't researched yet.
Any thoughts and ideas are very welcome. Also the pc will be used for editing RAW images shot with a canon R4 mk2 and maybe 4k video editing.
