alright, i'm going to give info needed, pretending no one has seen my previous threads.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j9tRzY this is what i have purchased, outside of cpu cooler and HDD.

because my gpu comes with it's own closed loop liquid cooling. i think my options are limited with placement of things.
i'm not too positive if AiO's need special placement. so really i'm just hoping for confirmation of working placement and something else later.
here's the layout if i bought the EVGA or equivalent CPU cooler.

green = gpu | blue = cpu


the tubing is a bit stiff to move the radiator for the gpu cooling unit anywhere else.


second question/confirmation:
i was debating buying a monoblock for the cpu and vrm. replacing the AiO cpu cooler just to fit this monoblock would cost me an extra $500 at minimum.
since i'm not adding gpu, i'm trying to stay away from a custom loop for the time being. trying to save money is more the idea.

so, i'm thinking about buying 2x 75mm case fans. my case came with an extra bracket for Ryzen or something that i am not using.
this bracket will perfectly fit 2x 75mm case fans, allowing me to blow air across the vrm.
assuming this is good enough for now, are there any 75mm case fan suggestions?
there does not seem to be many options for 75mm. or at least harder to find than say a 140mm

i will consider this thread on-going until stated closed. plans may change pending on what some of you say. i'll try to keep the full discussion here if it does.

i do also want to point out that the 1080 you picked is not the Ti version that is a massive improvement over the 1080

there's a couple fans i think i saw in the cpu fan section. the one you linked was the only hydro-bearing fan i noticed though. may go with these, was curious if anyone could find something else.

i am using a pre-made 3 1/2" x 6" bracket. this allows me exactly enough space to cram 2x 75mm fans next to each other. i also have a 1/2" thick square bar that is mounting to the top of the 2 fans, and to the top of the bracket from underneath. this will fill the extra 1/2" gap between top of fan and bracket.
this will take a bit of drilling, but i am equipped for such.

i paid $600 when it was on sale quite some time ago. at that time matching and beating most 1080 prices and also offering extra cooling.
did you all forget the price decrease has been happening over the last month?

perhaps someone more than Ghot can participate in the convo.
until then, i'd appreciate the little kids go play fortnight

Might wanna be careful with FrozenCPU.

About 4 years ago the site went down for about 2 years. I assume it's back up, but if you order from them, double check.
