Hello all,
I shall be moving up to Ryzen some time in the fall. The system I currently use is a second-hand hand-me-down from a friend who originally bought it new from an eBay 'custom computer' seller. As such, the system itself is reasonable for what I use it for, but the case is absolute trash, and so I will be replacing it with either a Fractal Design Define R5 or R6.
I will be buying an Enermax Liqmax II 240 to cool the current CPU, and the Ryzen CPU. I'd really like a quiet system, hence going for the Define series in the first place, but in using a top-mounted radiator, with the newer Define R6, the ModuVent top cover is one large piece, while the ModuVent system in the older Define R5 comes as four separate fan covers.
I am just wondering how the AiO cooler would work with the Define R6. For the best cooling and noise balance, the Define R5 looks like it's the better choice, but perhaps I'm missing something with the Define R6. Ideally, I would like the newer case.
Are there any Define R5/R6 owners here who can shed some light on this dilemma?
Thank you!
