  1. I don't care about aesthetics, I hate RGB and I prefer closed cases without glass panels. So definitely I should start with only the cooler and buy only 1x140m by reusing stock fans and give it at try before purchasing other fans. Some other doubts: 1. If I choose Silent Wings 3 instead of NF-A14, should I get the normal one or the high speed version? 2. When is preferable to use 120mm instead of 140mm? Is just a matter of space and for case fans should I just go for 140mm if I can and use 120mm only as a fallback? 3. With a DRP4 or a DH15 is useless to have fans on top as exhaust?
  2. I just got a BeQuiet PureBase 500 (stock fans) with an i7 10700k currently cooled with a Corsair H60 1th gen of 4 years. Other parts: - MSI Z490 TOMAHAWK - RTX2080 FE I care a lot about noise and currently it seems that most noise comes from the pump. I will give a try to some light OC and I was thinking about switching to Air to avoid pump noise / issues. A setup that I was thinking could be: - Noctua NH-D15 or BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 - 2x NF-A14 PWM as INTAKE on the front - 1x NF-A14 PWM as EXHAUST on the back - Maybe another NF-A14 on top as exhaust or A12 if it fits I'm on the right track? I was also thinking about Silent Wings 3 PWM, but I don't really know which should I get. P.S: oh boy these fans are pricey!
  3. I ended up getting the Corsair just because I've always used them and I didn't want to take any chance :D
  4. Any strong reason that made you choose the rmx 750 without even thinking?
  5. Hi guys, I need a PSU for my new build (switching back to ATX from ITX) which is currently already running on a Corsair SF600 with: - BeQuiet PureBase 500 - i7 10700k - MSI Z490 Tomahawk - Nvidia RTX2080 FE I don't want to buy adapters or extensions for the SF600 so I'm planning on buying an ATX PSU. By using the PSU Tier List and the retailers availabiliy I have to choose between: - Enermax Revolution D.F. 750 - 110€ - Corsair RM750x - 135€ I have always used Corsairs and I care about noise, especially at idle, so I'm a bit towards the corsair. I'm also reading a lot of good reviews/ opinions about the Enermax and combined with the lower price I'm hesitant between the two. In future I will probably sell my old build with the 2080 FE and upgrade to an RTX3080 or RX6000. Suggestions?
  6. What about something like mini itx card versions? Like Gigabyte GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6G
  7. I have just sold my current pc so in a rush i had to order the new one based on the availability of the store. SG 13 mesh front 44€ Asrock FATAL1TY Z170 GAMING-ITX/AC 185€ i7 6700k 345€ Gskill RipV K2 D4 3200 C14 111€ Corsair H60 85€ I will try to use an atx corsair hx520w before getting a new psu and i have skipped the gpu because i'm not sure about size and airflow, will temporarily use an old ati 6870. Let me know if i'm doing something really wrong Obviously i will post all the details/issues that i will encounter so that i can be helpful for someone in the future.
  8. After some research here is a shopping cart: SG 13 mesh front 44€ MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC 180€ i7 6700k 345€ Gskill RipV K2 D4 3200 C14 111€ MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X 330€ Silverstone SST-SX600-G Strider SFX 109€ NZXT Kraken X31 96€ Any thoughts? Size/cooling/noise issues? Thank you all!
  9. No one? I'm wondering if to achieve a silent build i have to get a bigger case than SG08/Thermaltake V1/Node 304 or if by using the right cooling system it's possible even with those small enclosures
  10. I have explored the forum and pcpartpicker and i'm lost There is a vast choice of components and i'm thrilled by the itx world. Here some key points after this "digging": Silent (pc in bedroom) and small build (probably i will put it on desk) i5 6600k GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 Support for models of nvidia 1060/1070 2 SSD 2.5" and 1 HD 3.5" (i can remove it if necessary) So i need advice for the case, psu and cooling system. I have noticed that NCASE M1 is appreciated by a lot of people and i will consider it but i need an alternative too.
  11. Another thing, i prefer silence over budget So if there is a possibility to reduce noise by paying more i will take it
  12. Currently i'm on CM690, i5 3570k, hyper 212 evo, corsair hx520w and asus gtx770 I want to do a mini itx build because i'm bored of the size of the cm690 which i bought for "future" upgrades like SLI, overclock etc but all things that in those years (cm690 and hx520w are 6 years old) i never considered seriously So by switching from a cm690 i don't think that i'm seeking for the extreme smallest itx build. But i never did mATX nor ITX builds so i have no idea about which case and cooling use, can you propose some combination?
  13. I want to build my first mini itx gaming build starting from an i5 6600k and a GA-Z170N-Gaming 5. I need some advices regarding case and cooling (air or liquid?). I haven't chosen yet which video card to buy but it will be an nvidia 970/1060/1070 and i don't know if it the choice between those can have a serious impact regarding which case/cooling use so i'm in your hands
