Manuel, TVwazhere gave you a sound advice when it comes to the NZXT H500 case. I fell in love with it from the visual point of view and what I thought were very reasonable and encouraging reviews so I bought it in Oktober 2018 together with all the other needed PC components.
I left the two stock fans as exhausts on the back and the top.
For the 8700k cpu (OCed to 4.700 MHz) cooler I got NZXT Kraken x62 AIO liquid cooler and its radiator is positioned in the ussual manner so that fans pull the air in the case from the front which then passes the AIO radiator as was advised to me by NZXT team. I have no problems with the CPU temperatures, they are cool so the AIO is doing its job but the radiator and the case fans (which are also automatically regulated by Kraken AIO) do get too loud when CPU is on high load.
The problem I ran into was the MSI 1070 Ti GPU temperatures in this setup. I have the GPU installed in a suggested horizontal position (so not vertical which is known to make the GPU run very hot). Like TVwazhere said, the GPU's temperatures rise to 80 C quite quickly when under load (playing more demanding games) and then the GPU's fans start to become really loud when trying to keep the temps not above 80 C. And I bought this particular MSI GPU model precisely because I wanted to have low noise when playing games as the reviews were saying these are among the quietest GPUs on the market.
I wanted to build a reasonably quiet PC and it is far from it as it stands. I don't exclude that I am oversensitive to noise and my expectations might be set too high when it comes to this- I don't know because I don't have much experience with this, I haven't seen other people's gaming PCs perform. Aside from my prevoius couple of PCs which were all too noisy really. This one is the least noisiest of the ones I had in the past but still too loud. I have it set up on my desk and is positioned right next to where I sit so that doesn't help.
I played around with the custom fan settings in MSI Afterburner for the GPU but it seems I can't avoid having high GPU temperatures and lots of noise. @TVwazhere, any suggestion how I should set up the custom fan setup for my rig? Also do you know what is the highest still safe MSI 1070 Ti temperature under load? Can't find any info on this and am afraid to go past 82 C that I am currently reaching with GPU fans at 80-90%.
So I think you did well to listen to the advice you were given. How do you like your Fractal C case?
Negative pressure actually worked well for the GPU in this test. Wasnt great for the CPU though. But I guess that depends on what CPU is gonna be paired with this system...
Stats wise the AER F series fans are about the same if not slightly better, so changing these out for the corsair fans would be wasted money.
Any modern/current CPU that is an I5 or R5 or better should be fine with up to a 2070 or 2080. The CPU may get in the way if you are looking for extremely high FPS at 1080p with top end cards, but if you plan on using 1440p/4k/RTX it will be sufficient.
The higher your resolution and the higher your graphics quality settings, the less of an impact your CPU will have on performance.
Overall it looks good. Almost like you’ve done this before and you know what parts not to pick. Technically all ram over the JEDEC standard of 2133 is an overclock, but a 3200 MHz speed kit is guaranteed to work at that speed, so it’s not really overclocking in the true sense of the word. The build will work great for 1080p 144Hz gaming.
