Hello,

i got myself an i9 7900x from der8auer, its delidded and pretested on 4.6Ghz @ 1.2V im cooling it with my Kraken X52 which has some Corsair LL120 fans. but the AIO just let it peek up to 97°C in prime95 (1344k/FFTs in Place), and yes i checked that i have put enough and thermal paste between them.
So i thought a custom loop would be better, is this right?
I have a Corsair Air 740 and i planned to get a 360mm EKWB SE for the front and a 240mm EKWB PE for the top. is this enough? or should i go for another 240mm on the bottom? Im not planing a second gpu. I heard that 240mm per overclocked component is enough.
I even dont know where to put the resevoir maybe beside the graphic card and the pump with an holder on the bottom. Or a little pump/reservoir combo under the gpu like this http://prntscr.com/jcib13 ?

I am new to custom loop and i dont want to run my cpu on 95C avg when rendering something

Greetings

Steven

Well your temps will improve but it's hard to tell how much.
What radiators you have chosen are good i wouldn't change anything but if you are inexperienced I would be careful if I was you 'd get some spare tubes just in case you mess up and the reservoir placement is good depending on the space you actually have in your case.
Just be careful and if you decide to do it check every nut to tighten it properly.

EDIT:I would get the none k version because you can't overclock it.

Hello Tony thanks for your help i bought the things i needed and build up the custom loop had a leak at the graphicscard plug but it didnt damaged anything and i fixed it. Temp are really really good now went from 95°C to 70°C avg on cpu in Prime custom 1344/1344, FFTs in place.
it was a really hard to build the loop and im an experienced pc builder but this was my first custom loop and its running fine.

Thank your for your Help Tony!
