Wow, thanks for that info. Def going with the Crosshair then.

So I should get the Crosshair? Assuming prices stay similar

Nononononono RM650X please

Ok, is there any particular reason?

Hi all, This may be a strange question, but how does the Crosshair VI (X370) stack up against a B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC? They are roughly the same price here in Germany (see images below), so I thought I'd ask. Also, seeing as it is a X370 board, how would this board fare with a 2600/3600/3700X? Thanks.

Define low price.

The stock cooler should be fine. Maybe get a TX550M or TX650M. AndI would reccomend waiting a week or two for the Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT, which costs only 10$ more and features a dual fan design. A Fractal Design Meshify C or Cooler Master H500 would be good case.

What are the rest of your specs?

If you are set on an AIO, get the 280mm as intake. But a Hyper 212 should also be just fine.

Oops. In that case, listen to @fasauceome

Here's a reccomendation: Don't use Crossfire in 2019. Get a single better GPU instead. I was wrong Also, you don't need a WiFi adapter if your MoBo has WiFi.

Anyway, a 240mm AIO is overkill for a 6c 6t CPU with a TDP of 65W. With a budget of 600 or more, it's pretty inexcusable to not get 16 GB or more RAM (it is 2019, after all). The SSD I picked also has 512MB cache. The H500 is an OK case, but I would upgrade to a Meshify C for better airflow. There are many posts online and on this forum about the G3, go have a look. If you want to bring the price down a bit, you could get a CX550M and a 240GB SSD instead. This machine will give you a lot more performance than your old list. (Sorry if I was a bit negative in this post)

I understand correctly. But thanks for taking the time. I think I have enough PWM headers. Are you sure that I can only connect 3 rgb connectors to the rgb hub? Just to make it clear, the 3 pack of LL fans comes with the LGN and RGB hub, therefore I wouldnt be buying them separately. Thanks, Catchears

Hi all, If I were to get these Corsair products: 3 pack of ll fans (with node and rgb hub) 3 individual ll fans A H100i Platinum And a 4 pack of RGB strips (also from corsair) Could I connect everything without buying extra Nodes? For the sake of this question, please do not question my choice of an AIO. Here's the plan: Connect all LL fans to the RGB hub. Connect the RGB hub to the Node Pro. Connect the RGB strips to the Node Pro (I think all 4 go on 1 connector) Here's a question: How do I connect the ML fans which come with the AIO? Do they somehow connect to the AIO itself or do I need another node and rgb hub for that? Thanks, Catchears

Sooooo... You could get this instead and still be able to play new games in ~5 years or so.

Banned for forgetting a full stop.

Budget? Location? What will you use it for? You will most likely be better off building a new system altogether.

Get a Corsair CX550M instead.

Is your CPU mounted properly? Are all of the power connectors connected? Have you cleared the CMOS?

Full system specs? What has happened? What have you tried already?
