Hi People,
I have nearly got all the parts for my new build, i7 13700k arriving on Friday, so I need to pick up a water cooling solutions for the whole system (Corsair 3090 Reference block arriving today).
I am building inside a Corsair 4000D Airflow and I have looked at both the 303i Pro and 305i as with a waterblock for the 3090 and raiser cable it fits despite the larger pump/res, also the 305i comes with slightly better looking fans (performance seems similar).
My problem is that the XD3 has trash reviews, it seems to be extremely loud and the reason I am water-cooling also the GPU and not buy a £200 AIO is to have a quiet system, 3090 was picked up at a bargain price second had so works out very well.
Can someone who owns the pump give me some indications on how it really is? It would just fit better in the 4000d on the back fan mount however if it s loud then it makes no sense, my current Deep Cool AIO is totally and completely silent @ 100% pump speed, well fans aside that is. I wonder if some reviews are with pump 100% as some mention the pump is virtually silent at 60%.
(May do 360 + 240 rads or just one 360 for now)
