New Gaming PC Project

Hi all

I have ordered a number of components for my new gaming/editing rig as below and need some advice on how to route cooling.

 

The case comes with 3 front 120mm fans and a 140mm rear exhaust.

Do you guys recommend an additional 2 fans on the top of the case as exhaust fans also?

So I basically will have 3 intakes and 3 exhausts.

 

Set up is:

 

Asus TUF GT501 Case

Asus ROG Strix Z390-F Motherboard

Intel i7-9700K CPU

32GB Corsair Dominator 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit (4x8GB)

Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Cooler

RTX 2060 Super OC 8GB Graphics Card

2TB SSD 

3TB HDD

Capture Card

 

Thanks in advance

i would suggest only one exhaust at the top on the back end. having one on the front makes air that goes in , exit immediately which makes both the top and top front fan useless or rather, gives negative effects.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

GPU COOOER      : ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA (Stock cooler overheats even when undervolted :()

MOBO            : MSI B350m Bazooka

I should have gone for the i9-9900K but I can always upgrade in a couple years if needed. Same goes with the GPU.

 

Thanks. I might just keep the 1 exhaust and 3 intakes on the front for now and see from there.

Graphic card and processor will work great together

just fyi, these bottleneck calculators dont work. they give missrepresenting number for the limiting factors in builds. and hwo they shift depending on the workload.
