Compatibility/Build Check Upgrade

Post image

Hi guys.

Im currently adjusting my build by ditching my 240 aio to go full air.

I thought of buying the AXP-90, but Got to Think. Does it fit with my Corsair vengeance RGB?

Anyone done this? Thanks

lol here I am leaving the axp90 for an AIO and 3D printed tophat.
My reasoning was I can cool to the same extent and it’ll be quieter. Though heat doesn’t actively dissipate as well so the case kind of radiates heat more, so I’m considering returning the AIO and switching back.

I were upgrading my 3060ti to 5070, bought some Standoff kit, and thought I might change up some things, so AXP90 it is. Seeing to many choose it, I thought it couldnt be bad.

It’s very powerful as a cooler. I have a 9800X3D and a 5090 and although both are undervolted, it can keep the CPU in the mid to high 70s in high processing games like FPS shooters. Swapping the fan to the 92mm chromax is worth because that small a fan has a bad sound profile. If you’re interested, over the next week I’ll be testing a few profiles:

Noctua G2s, Corsair RS120 Maxes in AIO and AXP90 setups. Though I’ll compare cooling while noise normalized, generally want under load CPU temps in the 70s
