ar.. my content is X870 not the X870E version of tomahawk... to me is still overkill lol.. as for m.2 Gen 5, most default m.2 heatsink are not cut out to take the heat. except for X870E-E strix and the X870E Carbon. once Gen 5 m.2 heat up after 73°C ~ 74°C it will start to throttle. Video editing also don't need Gen 5.. Gen 4 more than sufficient. I am using Seagate both Firecuda 530 and 520, which are not top notch in speed but is more then sufficient. As for the wood finish.. it's just me. I have done wood finishing before and pretty particular on the finishing.
Of course the Lancool 217 has good airflow. As you have 2 x 170mm fans at the front for intake of air. but when I remove my unit, I am unhappy with the wood finish, just like the Fractal North.. when I look at how the wood are treated with top coated. I shake my head. As for Cypress 7 from Okinos, when I open it before passing it to another reviewer (I let him do the review as I am pack with other content).. the finishing is uniform and the walnut grains solid. I am waiting for the case to return to me for review
Sample and look at the walnut.. so beautifully done. the process, sand down > cealer x 2 layers > sand down higher grit sand paper > cealer x 1 layers > sand down lightly or wet sand > dry > follow by top coat x 2 layers
now compare to Lian Li 217. observe the panel and the finish.. very rough, did sanding but lower grit sand paper > cealer 1 layer > sand down > top coat 2 layer.
For AIOs, most are using Asetek Gen 8th pump. As why I recommended you the two liquid AIO. 1st the LCD can be removed. if AIO died. you still can use the LCD panel. 2nd the application are more responsive, use lesser background process as the processor is on the LCD itself. 3rd both liquid AIOs perform well on AM5 9950X or 9950X3D. Anyway both processor dont run hot at all as compared to the 7000 series.
well I personally like the SAMA Q70 the LCD is super big lol.. ok example
if you want to know how it performs, I have used a hotter chip 7950X with PBO settings. no aircon and result solid 82°C if I change it out.. easily 78°C with PBO settings
Though am also doing Lian Li products, but honestly compared to the rest of the liquid AIO with LCD, I will go for the two brands as mentioned above. I have not done the content for ThermalRight Hyper Vision 360 but I have tested it on a friend's build 9950X. I like the screen, it's big. Anyway if you still want Lian Li, the only liquid AIO which impress me most is the Lian Li Galahad II LITE <-- this cooler is a little devil in disguise but without LCD.
Wow thanks for the recommendations sir, just finished watching. I like the glass panel of cypress7 can swing out and it’s cheaper than LC217, the sama q70 quite unique for the detachable screen can put on desk if the pc is put on the floor but want to see statistics. Wah with more recommendations by all gurus here I’m spoilt for choices. Now I a bit sot feel like doing white build 🫣
and did you 3D print the fan adapter yourself?
