Wont need a OS key as defo cheaper to get it myself.

@Nursemorph sorry completely went over my head.

Will be gaming and working on my 27 inch 1440p 144hz ips panel.
Budget arounnd 2k
More gaming and sixth form work

 

[Faris3789]

Sure, do you mind listing possible cases with good airflow so then I can decide by aesthetics from there? And I understand i will take off the paste

 

[Faris3789]

If you swap out the case for one with improved airflow like the Fractal Focus G or the Lian Li Lancool II you can get rid of the cheap noisy extra fans.

It's also worth spending the extra £11 and changing the PSU from the TXm to the fully modular RMx version, it's a step up in quality.

And has been established by @Nursemorph earlier on today, Noctua cooler already comes with high quality paste so you don't need to purchase the arctic paste.

What do you think of the Corsair Crystal 570x or the 465x ICUE

 

[SpyderTracks]

The problem I have with those ones is that they have a great slab of glass directly in front of the fans so I'm always mildly apprehensive to recommend those, that's why I went for the iCue 220T Airflow, it's much more open.

I think we should seek the opinion of one of the experts, see if they know a bit more about those cases. @SpyderTracks , what say you?

The Corsair Crystal cases are phenominal, both aesthetically and cooling wise. We often recommend them if budget allows, just superb cases. I would definitely choose that over the iCue.

 

[Faris3789]

Sure if anybody could reccomend a beautiful case with excellent airflow that can show off all my components please let me know

Okay so go for the crystal case.

 

[SpyderTracks]

Okay so go for the crystal case.

Yeah, big recommendation for one

 

[AgentCooper]

Yeah, big recommendation for one

Cheers for your input, always appreciated. I love my iCue case though, it’s dinky! Was tired of having my unit on the floor and it’s nice to have it up on my desk displaying the RGB goodness 😁

 

[Faris3789]

Yeah, big recommendation for one

Thanks for your help, are the 3 front fans nice and quiet to compliment the Noctua? Also as you Can see I configured the back 2 extract fans, are they a good pick? Just looking for any recomendations for quiet and cool but with good airflow. I didnt go with water cooling as it looks like it is high maintenance and a lot could go wrong and I’m kinda new to this stuff so wouldn’t want to fry a 2.1k Pc

 

[SpyderTracks]

Yes, the Corsair cases use their top of the range LL series fans. The are magnetic levitation fans, the fan literally spins on a cushion of air so they’re dead quiet and very efficient also.

Also as you Can see I configured the back 2 extract fans, are they a good pick?

They’re very cheap and will be noisy, they’re also not PWM fans so just run at constant velocity so you can’t reduce speeds to reduce noise. Wouldn’t recommend.

You can pick up single Corsair LL fans on amazon which would be better, you won’t need more than one as you’ll have the front fans, then just one at the rear.

Unfortunately PCS only stock them in threes:

Corsair CO-9050071-WW LL120 120 mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED PWM Fan - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075VDGSJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kiprFbJQ75V19

A closed loop cooler such as the Corsair H series are closed units, there’s no maintenance and they almost never go wrong. Leaks just don’t happen these days. Occasionally you get pump failures but you’d have a new replacement from PCS next day if the worst were to happen. Plus they’re monitorable by software and you can set alarms and auto shutdowns if anything fails. They’re bulletproof and imho better than the noctua.

 

[Faris3789]

I see you have a H100i, ofc I’m using a 3800xt so do you think i could get away with a 100x or should i just get a H115i pro, I’m just thinking if its necessary to drop 115 GBP (coincidentally) on a CPU cooler; What do you think?

I’ll second that, the iCue software that Corsair use really is fantastic. It’s got some really useful features as well as the flashy RGB stuff to play around with 👍

Should i get a h100x or h115i, also what about replacing the fluid or anything else?

 

[Faris3789]

Sure i think ill settle with this case now I’m just thinking about if I should stick with air or water cooling.

 

[SpyderTracks]

You'd want a minimum of the H100i Platinum, but I think that's out of stock currently. It's either that or the H115i Platinum.

 

[Faris3789]

( can I just not stick with my Noctua, I kind of want to build everything so I don’t have to touch it again. (What benefits would the AIO have?)

Also building on your earlier point i remove the two back fans will i actually need any back there?

 

[SpyderTracks]

can I just not stick with my Noctua, I kind of want to build everything so I don’t have to touch it again. (What benefits would the AIO have?

You can just use the noctua, it's still a very capable cooler. Air coolers are just an older technology, closed loop coolers are much better at reducing high end temps and are just a newer technology that's all. It's completely your choice.

Also building on your earlier point i remove the two back fans will i actually need any back there?

You'll need at least one exhaust fan.

It’s super quiet, better looking than a chunky fan jutting out into the case and it’s maintenance free. I’ve got the H100i and it’s a belter 😁👍

 

[Faris3789]

I understand. TBH ill probably end up going with the water cooler, would you classify the 3800xt as high end? And i guess ill buy the exhaust fans myself, would i just google a video on where to connect them to?
