RAM: No need 32gb. Get 16gb 2x8 3600 CL16 Crucial ballistix instead.

Fractal Design makes many cases. Are you sure it can fit a 360mm? Why not go for a 240 or 280? Why ID cooling?

 

[DayDreamingz]

Any reason why use 2 x 16gb ??

Use ID Cooling cause don want those liquid type, choose 360 cause better cooling performance than 280 (Correct me if i am wrong)

Check my post - I said 2x8, so 16gb total.

An AIO is also a water cooler, so I'm not sure why you then say you "don't want" the liquid type.

Sorry >.<
What I meant was that I don want any maintenance on the water thing
Thanks for reminding if it fit as some casing does not able to do that.

Think to be safe I will change to a 240+ 1 rear fan (Any brand to recommend ?? )

The one that comes with the case is usually enough.

Need to get your nephew to put in more hours for studies man. 80/20% is not a good ratio.

2x16gb only $119? I guess CPU and B450 price are combined into one?

LoL
I mean the cpu usage !! Not the time usage ~

ok thanks.
Will look into it again but mostly will just add a dual fan for cooling.
my previous cpu overheat issue kind of get to me till now

Sorry typo.
16gb = $119

Yes

 

[DayDreamingz]

By the way is it worth to get it now as I heard a lot of stuff is out of stock and prices have been jacked up

Overheat is not due to lack of fans but due to the cooler inability to take heat away from the cpu. Means the cpu cooler isnt cooling it effectively, perhaps a fan nearby was taking away the air meant for the cpu?

The cpu did not have any additional fan (Only 1 which came with the casing).
All the parts was just purchased and fixed in.

Just stating an example, there are many other possibilities. Need to know the setup config and some photos to understand better. Can also learn from these and not do the same mistake to new PC.

Anyway, u can conside getting cpu, ram from newegg singapore. Buy above $280sgd and within $400sgd will get you free shipping to SG and not get taxed. Just make sure seller is by newegg themselves and not other 3rd party sellers. Compare and see which setup gives you the best benefits.
