Hey all!
When I built the below build, the top radiator and danc were not there. Since there was no forced airflow on that part of the mobo, I decided to go with a monoblock at the time.
Now I'm looking at switching to team Red for my next platform upgrade, and am revisiting the monoblock decision. Do you think the fans I now have over the motherboard would provide sufficient airflow over the heatsinks to cool the VRMs? I know they'd be effective in a closed chassis, but I expect airflow works a little differently for my P5.
Whatcha think?
