Uncertain whether liquid cooling is suitable for this build
I see your concern, but the feedback from both you and the user appears to align. Should I choose the suggested cooler?
The situation does not limit airflow when considering intake air volume.
There are three 120mm intakes, and if necessary, these fans could be swapped for quicker but louder models.
The issue is that the intake space seems too close to the wall, which might hinder airflow.
This could be improved by using a shorter case.
It seems there is enough room to bring in fresh air at the front of the unit.
One can check the restriction by briefly removing the case from under the desk.
Also, if there are pets or children at home, avoid leaving the case open.
Still, a more powerful cooler would definitely assist.
If the outcome remains inadequate, consider alternative options such as a different case or moving it elsewhere.
The present setup leaves the case partially open by placing the removable side against the case, which increases airflow.
I believe I should try the cooler you mentioned and check if it improves things.
A concern is that the cooler appears very large, and the current one is near the RAM—will the new one interfere with it? It seems there might not be enough space for both.
go a thermalright phantom spirit evo 120mm ram shouldn't cause any problems with the dual tower setup. Ali Express offers paypal cheap options and it works well for a 5800x3d without issues. If needed, a 280 arctic freezer 2 or 3 would be just as effective.
The NH-D15S fits one fan and accommodates RAM up to 66mm height. Experiments indicate only a slight 2c improvement with a 120mm fan placed ahead. The benefits seem minimal.
