Corsair H60 V2018 and Intel I9 7900X

Hi to everyone!

This is my first post in the forum, and I hope could be helpful for any other in the future.

I am building a compact workstation inside a Phanteks Shift case (I hope it works :D).

I would like to use the new H60 2018 to cool an Intel I9 7900X. The choice is because I want to stay compact to allow a minimum of airflow in the case.

Do you think that adding a Fan for a Push/Pull configuration will help the CPU?

The H60 will be mounted on the bottom. The case is configured with an intake 140mm fan on the front bottom, and a 140mm exhaust fan in the front top.

And the GPU is a Titan X Pascal, because the size allows me to have a bit more space inside compared to the aftermarket solution.

The system will be not overclocked, it is not for gaming, but "just" for 3D, Production, Photoshop, etc: architects stuff.

Thanks to everyone in advance! I will keep updated with pics and thoughts!

Oh, that's the vertical tower case, isn't it? It is intriguing. I wish there was one twice the size. So theoretically a 120mm radiator can handle a 10 core CPU. When used on my Titan X (P), I would have a coolant delta in the +25-30C range at a steady 300w. Under a constant CPU load, I would expect something like +15C for what would like be a top end 180w load. That is about double the CPU delta you would see with a 2 panel radiator, but likely inconsequential for what seems to be most GPU specific loads. Push-pull might get you -3C in coolant temp and possibly worthwhile. If it would fit, I might lean toward the 140mm H90 (*product page suggests it does not). That would get you slightly more surface area and it has a wonderfully quiet 1500 rpm pump. It is a simple design with a good track record. We don't know much at all about the new H60. I have not seen pump speed data for it yet, but traditionally 120mm coolers need to have a faster cycle rate to offset the lack of radiator surface area.

I have looked at that case several times before today and I have a hard time visualizing the set-up. It seems like you have it down and I don't see a realistic way to orientate things other than the obvious bottom to top heat flow, as you have described. Love to see it when you are done.

Yes it is!

Ok, so, as soon as I will set up everything I will keep update this section!

Thanks a lot!
