It was fine for the situation I picked the R6 since I wasn’t sure what water cooling setup you’d pick (each one is unique). It’s just a big unit that would fit a D5 reservoir combo, or the dynamic O11 (which costs more), and yes, X570 boards are completely out of the question. LMAO
The water cooling setup should function properly in that scenario (the stock images actually support it). It doesn’t seem like I’m planning any intense gaming sessions based on how I play. I might be able to get the suggested motherboard at a lower price, but I’ll just wait for its arrival. It’s not urgent since I already have a backup gaming laptop, though I don’t want to delay too much.
Good luck with the water cooling—I’m not sure I can build one myself, but I’m confident it’ll work out well.
