Trying to avoid some of the RGB is possible, looking for the best performance possible for my price range.

Newegg has it actually cheaper then the corsair and has a 25 dollar rebate right now on this exact one. That being said I was advised against this due to some of the known issues it's had lately.

Adding the covers and black NF-A15 fan helps, but at quite the cost.

Hello all, Trying to decide if I should go with a Be Quiet build or the Noctua route. I could save a couple bucks if I went with Be Quiet and would still be fine I think, or I could go with the beef and go the all Noctua route. Plan either way is to have 2 140mm intakes in the front and 1 120mm exhaust in the back. The GPU is just a place holder but most likely I will go with a 2080 xc or black. Thoughts? Thank you.

Is there any difference in installing the D-15 vs the D-15s? I've read others recommend getting the D-15 and have the option of adding the second fan if desired.

So you basically made your D-15s into a D-15? You also get better clearance with the D-15s correct?

OK great, thanks for all the feedback!

Any difference between the standard brown color and the chromax? I added both sets for comparison. Also What is up with the industrial ones? Assuming they run at a higher RPM? I also swapped out the Be Quiet for the NH-D15.

probably no overclocking, at least to start anyway. It's been quite sometime since I've even built a PC so I'm just going to take one step at a time. That being said I need a stock beast to start for work and haven't played modern games on anything higher than low in awhile.

Hello, I will be using the Meshify C case for my new build- Does anyone have experience in what the best fan setup would be in addition to what fans? I've read a lot about creating negative pressure in the case so it doesn't get dusty, any input on this would be helpful.

After looking at the build guide megathread I'm not too far off from making some serious upgrades. I could get away with 1 SSD as I have a backup and just remove the RBG entirely. 2700 dollar PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU Intel - Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $509.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler $84.99 @ SuperBiiz Motherboard Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS MASTER ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $294.98 @ Newegg Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $299.99 @ Newegg Business Storage Crucial - P1 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $79.99 @ Adorama Storage Crucial - MX500 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive $134.85 @ OutletPC Video Card EVGA - GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB Black Video Card $1069.99 @ Amazon Case Fractal Design - Meshify C TG ATX Mid Tower Case $99.98 @ Newegg Power Supply SeaSonic - FOCUS Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $89.80 @ OutletPC Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $2709.56 Mail-in rebates -$45.00 Total $2664.56 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-02-16 13:45 EST-0500

Hello all, Any thoughts on these two builds? Both are roughly the same in cost, GPU is a placeholder and would probably come in a bit cheaper. One would run the NZXT ecosystem and Mesh C would be running Corsair. Wondering if you had any experience with similar builds. Thanks!

ok, thanks for the help.

Gotcha, so what is the CAM powered smart device that comes with the 700i? Some smart hub? If I stuck with NZXT would I better off just getting the 700 and installing CAM and forget the hub?

So let's say I went with just the 700 no i, that doesn't come with the CAM software correct? What would be the best way to control all the fans and even the cooler?

I was going to add three additional NZXT RBG fans to the build, CAM would control the colors, speed and kraken correct? My current PC is ancient, fans are just hooked up to the MB with no RBG so this is a bit new to me.

How do you control the fans? Something like Commander Pro?

Most importantly this is what I'm most interested in. Triple monitor is out for my setup so it comes down to probably 1 single UW or 2 16:9's. One could be a 165hz 1m but I don't play a ton of FPS games, only occasionally.

Hello all, Building a new PC very soon but I'm starting to second guess my setup. I was initially sold on building a system that used the NZXT RBG ecosystem with CAM but have read nothing but nightmares about the software. Are there other cases out there that use better software and would anyone have any recommendations for other cases? I was thinking about the Lian Li O11 Dynamic but how do you control all the fans? My apologies in advance as I haven't built anything in quite some time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

EVGA does have the 2080ti XC in stock but it's 1200.00. Price just seems insane to me!

I've herd this a lot, what exactly happened this time around?

I feel like the 2080 ti black for 999.00 is rarely in stock and when it is it's only for about a couple minutes.

This is the first PC I've built in quite some time so I'm a bit hesitant on overclocking in general. Really just want something powerful right out of the box for 3d work and gaming. Initially I had a ASUS max on my list but switched over to z390 AORUS pro after many recommended it. Also going for the NZXT ecosystem but would consider other options, thanks for the feedback.
