It truly has been known to be great with X3D chips. The offset mounting is particularly great for the X3D chips as it focuses on the hot part of the CPU. They thought it out pretty well to be honest.

My first AIO on my 7800X3D is the Liquid Freezer III 360 and it's as good as my custom loop in terms of temps. I haven't had it long enough to know about pump life, etc. But I guess time will tell. Very happy with it.

I have a 75Hz monitor and a 144Mhz. I can definitely tell the difference between both 100%. I know it's not 60, but that would just be a more drastic change if anything.

Currently cooling my CPU with an AIO, GPU is on default air cooler. Had everything custom water cooled but opted for the simpler AIO setup. Temps are as good on the CPU, and the GPU does run a bit warmer but well under anything concerning anyways. Just not worth the extra cost. Sold most of it...

I've had pumps run dry, not on purpose but it's literally like 1-2 seconds, never longer. No issues, thank god!

for that price I can't afford NOT to get Mass Effect. Grabbed it! Thank you!

ah okay so I wasn't entirely crazy, just re-used some components. Regardless if you re-used case or what not, still lookin' hella nice.

not sure why I thought it was a new build, maybe the angle I don't know. Either way, sexy! :)

At least you have that coming in hopefully soon. You can check online, make sure all is good.

Sorry to hear man, it's definitely tough times. Hope you can get back on your feet soon!

That looks amazing. Got a side pic of the build? Great job!

Yes I did. I don't have the tools to do one out of acrylic so I did one out of some plastic sheets I got off Amazon, then I marked and drilled the holes. It was very sturdy. Then I wrapped it in matte black wrap since it went better with the finish of the case instead of gloss black did.

Unfortunately only picture I have of the build when it was together is this one. I don't have this build anymore, those components are now in my new case.

i get the occasional wrong clocks reported with HW monitor, but not with HWINFO.

yeah this board seems to draw a lot of power regardless. I can try going lower, maybe at some other time. What are your ambient temps like?
