PC Upgrade bonanza

[syntaxsmurf]

So I am having some issues with my PC randomly rebooting (and I mean really randomly can be days in between and sometimes it is 8 times in a day) Which I am pretty sure is a short in the motherboard (I have tested RAM, GPU, CPU more details here:

So since I have to go in and take it apart to replace the motherboard I might as well throw in that upgrade I have been contemplating, so what do you guys think? Did I make some sound choices?
The CPU cooler "upgrade" is really not in need at all, the Dark rock just looks so much better then the Noctua that I am strongly considering switching it out.

 

Replacing the industrial fans is a MUST that was a mistake! (they are very loud!!)

Any comments or questions or suggestions for my PC upgrade is very welcome!!

Also considering a 5700 XT once board partners release GPUs, thought? Worth it?

Looks a nice system, if i was building i would also add a secondary mechanical hard drive just for some storage purposes and backup but apart from that all looks well.

I am kinda planning to make an external drive bay setup for storage not to sure about that one yet but that is the thought.

Yeah they are from what I can find virtually the same in performance maybe a slight edge to the Noctua.. but it is so ugly!! Kinda regretting it

You can keep your old board, just fine.

 

Consider just swapping out the fans on the Noctua instead of buying a new cooler.

The fans are in the case the fans on the noctua are fine (if also really ugly) as I wrote in the post I am pretty sure the board has a short in it causing random reboots.

I mean swap out the fans on the CPU cooler. You can swap them out for less ugly, black or RGB fans.

Alrighty I get ya the cooler itself is just not good looking is what I mean even with prettier fans. It is an options i have considered (The price of Noctua fans means that would be very close to just getting the prettier dark rock pro 4)

To be more specific two noctua fans for the CPU in a good color will be 60 bucks a dark rock pro will be 90 bucks. So I pay 30 bucks for a better looking cooler and then I got a spare one I can either sell or use for another project

If you're looking for black fans, just spray paint the corners of the Noctua IndsutrialPPC fans

No need if i get the fans they made with color (https://www.komplett.dk/product/1068236/hardware/pc-komponenter/blaeserekoelerevandkoeling/blaesere/noctua-nf-a14-pwm)

 

but I think it just makes more sense and again is way prettier to get the dark rock and then have another CPU cooler. might just get some other fans for the CPU but I just think there is less value in that.

You already have the PPC fans, right? You were planning to get rid of them?

 

Spray paint the corners.

The current fans I got are industrial in the case which I am replacing do to sound. and the shit brown normal noctua fans that comes with the cooler those are gonna need more then just a corner spray paint though so I am not sure what you mean.

you didn't say that in the thread.... was assuming they're fine....

 

 

yeah then, go for the dark rock pro 4

" Replacing the industrial fans is a MUST that was a mistake!" I guess I didnt say because of sound I guess but thats well known I will add it just to be clear!
