My first RL
-
I ended up keeping the radiator I have, as I have trouble returning it.
I bought a gasket sold by the same brand XSPC, I suppose that with this gasket it will be fine.
The fans I bought are Noctua.
NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWMI have another question about ventilation (of course).
My motherboard is an MSI, and it comes with the Command Center program, which is what I use for the ventilation of the caja.La case. The case I'm going to put is a thermaltake urban t81, and it comes with a fan controller to manually increase the speed.
Would it be correct to set the speed of the fans that ventilate the case controlled by the Command Center and the ones on the radiators by the case controller? Or would it be more correct to control everything with the Command Center?

I would buy an aquaero XD, but if you don't have more money I would let the motherboard control them.
Best regards!!!.

Those fans with that radiator don't make sense... in fact those fans don't make sense in any system.
The 2000RPM model is already excessive in terms of noise... I say more... the normal 1500RPM model is unbearable for my taste and I say this because I have 4 in my case and they are self-regulating to go to 500RPM 99% of the time and at full capacity in winter they don't exceed 800-900RPM.
As for the radiator I would sell it if it's not possible to return it... it's not useful for your Dual GPU and CPU configuration... only for the CPU it would be good... CPU+GPU would be just right or it will give you temperatures similar to a good air cooler... with those three gadgets disaster is assured :facepalm:.
You need a minimum of a triple radiator... or in other words now you will have worse temperatures than if you keep your current air cooling.
The problem with RL is that there is no objective criterion because manufacturers don't provide enough information and people don't have enough knowledge for all combinations... not even those of us who are knowledgeable can assure you 100% what we comment here since we extrapolate data from reviews.
The normal thing is to start with a basic kit and keep playing and expanding... that is, spending money which is what manufacturers are interested in but it's complicated when the level of auditory comfort and performance clash.
These are characteristics to take into account and many times people talk thinking only about one of these characteristics.
Javisoft for example has placed 4 radiators in his system for a Hexacore and 3 graphics in SLI.... the thing is that surely with fewer radiators he would get similar temperatures if he put some cool fans of 3000RPM but then he would have to give up the comfort he has now.
As you can see it's something subjective and personal... it depends on each one what they are looking for when assembling their RL and of course money... another factor that weighs.
Regarding fan control and regardless of what you put, put everything on PWM controlled by the motherboard with a master cable for each group of fans... this way it's easier and cheaper to control-self-regulate the fans.
That is, the pump alone in the CPU connector so that if for some reason it stops, the motherboard turns off the equipment. It usually puts it in the instructions but it's good to remember

The problem is that to outperform some Corsair SP or Nidec AP-60s, you have to go to top-tier fans like Deltas, since in that range, Ultra Kazees, for example, are very even with more noise and the Noctua Industrials are a scam outright, and Delta or Sanyo ones, don't even get me started on how they sound XD.
I prefer more rads and for the PC not to be too noisy, honestly XD.

I got tired of those dilemmas and others and now the radiator is out of the box and has nothing to do with what is in the stores,
Salu2.
