Early thoughts for new rig

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

true la, but negative airflow in case means e air will also enter from other openings other than e intake fans covered with filters, means more dust going in mah

u open the doors of the room or Windows also have dust coming in out...u can't except that u case is a dust proof product @_@.

ya la i know.. but if can reduce dust intake, why not?

As long as you have more air coming in than going out then you will have positive airflow.

Number of fans does not matter. The RPM matters more.

yeah i know e number of fans dun matter.. but at e moment, e rated intake fans will be lower than the 1 exhaust n 2 AIO fans .. also asking ard in e casing thread for opinions on this

before i head into e world of AIO cooling, is there any basis to fears like coolant leaking, or drying up, or pump failing? never used any liquids in my rigs before, and i remember my uni room mate having a hell of a time with leakage problems, though i have to say that that was 10 years ago haha

Just get a corsair AIO. They hardly leak, at least, not here in singapore.

Won't affect much de la.. Linustechtips got a video on this too
For me I'm using a microatx case >>>
I have a radiator with push pull config at the front as intake, 1 exhaust at the back and 2 fans at the top as exhaust also, my temps are around 30-40 when playing games

actually you using a non k processor..even normal air cooling also enough.

rag bro.. i looking at cryorig actually.. they are pretty good too right?

Cryorig i never try before. Haha. Maybe you wanna ask roy? He did Cryorig AIO review before... like not bad.

I was using corsair V80i AIO before i switch back to air cooling. Cos no point, temperature is ard the same, and getting a AIO mean you have the pump and leak to worry about.

And do not believe when people tell you AIO is more silent than air cooling. As long as there is a fan, it's not going to be quiet.

Ya leaks n pump issues are my worry too.. hence i have been looking at air coolers like e cryorig r1 universal... but i see all e towers so big, e mobo can take e wieght?

Can la. No issue.

You going X99 or Z270?? X99 first pcie slot usually is for gpu so if you are using R1, it will be super close to the gpu, esp if your gpu have a backplate.

Mobo like Z170/Z270 usually first slot are 1x so gpu will be at the 2nd slot, which has no issue with big HS like r1.

planning to get z170 board.. maybe msi gaming series..

hmmm... i always wanted to try water cooling though... but just afraid of leakage/pump issues.. i dun move my comp around, but i seldom open it up also once i set it up
