I just received essentially the same configuration described (except with 32gb RAM, and I put in my own NVMe SSD, with OS installation cloned over from the 1TB HDD that came with mine).

I'm finding the system quite quiet, including for games tested so far. And the highest the GPU has gone is low 70s. (I was accustomed to my prior GTX 1070 running around 81-82). Don't think I've caught the CPU higher than 60s.

It's working beautiful, as far as I'm concerned.

I just got mine R11 last week, i7-10700 + rtx 2080 super + 512 SSD + 16gb

Honestly pretty disappointed. The graphic card is loud when I play Red Redemption 2. My ear could not bear the sound and I had to take a break every hour maximum. Graphic card is constantly 84 C and I updated to latest driver already. I will be returning the unit soon I think there is either defective with the case air flow or the graphic card itself

Hey,

I was thinking about purchasing high quality and creating a push/pull configuration for the top CPU cooling. What fans would you recommend as I am fairly new to the gaming computer world. How do I know if a fan is high quality or the best for air flow?

and for the record, my older build which is Aurora R8, 9700K + GTX 1080 liquid cool CPU it runs quieter than my R11, although it was unable to play Red Dead Redemption 2 1440p with 50+ average FPS so had to upgrade.

Thanks for the reply, yes it is liquid cooled CPU and 1000W PSU

I opened up the side panel and root caused the sound, there are fan noises from the top fan and PSU as well but non of those are close to the level of noise made by the graphic card, I mean it was louder than my hair dryer

the CPU during long period of game is fine stays below 50c and top fan showing from AWCC is running 28% maybe, but the graphic card ... bluhhhh 84c consistenly and sooooo loud. Although FPS stays good

So if I were to do a push/pull configuration for the top fan, do I exhaust or intake? Also, can I replace the bottom fan with the Corsair ML120, so a total of 3 Corsair ML 120.

Can I ask where you could install the additional fan on the radiator? I have the r11 i9 10900k with 2080ti and its amazing, but the heat this thing produces is crazy. Would love to get the inside of this thing cooler. Any help would be grateful.
