I'd rotate the CPU cooler about 90-180 degrees clockwise... just seems to be better heat removal that way.

I edit my posts more often than not

IMO it looks good, I like green themed stuff since its not as common but I really don't like the case itself.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like the look of it then it looks good. If you don't like it then change it. Personally I'm not a massive fan of the trend of RGB flashing stuff at the moment and I think the green illumination and boxy case looks a lot nicer, giving a nice industrial look.

 

Frankly I've never cared much about the appearance of computers though... if it works it works.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Explain?

 

Looks are subjective, though personally I'd rotate the CPU cooler.

I've never like the vertical orientation of CPU coolers. In the front, out the back always seemed the better choice for airflow.

Rotate the cpu cooler 90 degrees clockwise and have the fan blow towards the back. Then it'll be good

Also not a fan but I built in a windowless ITX for a reason...

I think it looks pretty good! I'm personally not a big fan of green, but I can see the appeal.

Although I do agree with the other poster who mentioned that the GPU power cable looks a bit out of place 🤔

Objectively: The build looks clean, nice cable management, it seems to work although I'd rotate the CPU cooler as already mentioned, there are no things that are obviously wrong/ missing.

 

Subjectively: I'd change the color of the lighting (green isn't really my thing) and the case is fine but I probably would have chosen something different. What's more I have to mention the CPU cooler again, please rotate it, vertical mounted CPU coolers look bad and are bad for air flow.

 

All in all it's a very nice build, no reason to redo it. However if you want to optimize the PC this thread should give you an idea where to start. I hope this is what you expected when you posted your question. 

There is no replacement for RGB except more RGB ?

Does CPU cooler orientation affects noise levels depending on case?
