so i picked up a used H115i a couple months ago with the intention of mounting it on my Vega 64. I'm moderately competent at machining and fabricating and building weird custom cooling solutions isn't out of character, but nonetheless I'm getting hesitant because (1.) i'm terrified of breaking my HBM or interposer (2.) my apartment is tiny and ridiculously hot already so i won't be able to really push the card hard (like 300W+ with LC BIOS hard) until winter and (3.) I'm already content with my current clocks, temps, and acoustics on the stock blower with undervolt. (1450Mhz actual @ 950mV, 120-180W ingame, ~65C with fan curve)
All that said, now I have this nice AIO without a use- would it be a waste to put it on my lil' R5 1600? Currently has a Hyper 212 Black RGB and load temps are in the low 40's @ stock clocks so it's not exactly undercooled, but would I going to see better overclocking with the AIO? I've been focusing on getting the GPU tuned so I haven't touched the CPU but I do plan on overclocking that as well.
Now that you're made it through my ramble, thoughts?
