Thinking about doing a new build in the winter afte Intel new cpu launch due to my current x99 motherboard dying on me. As of right now i have my eyes on MetallicGear NEO Qube, it supports 360MM radiator but CORSAIR iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT 360mm dimension is 397MM. Im not sure if it will fit, it seems all 360MM radiator have dimension differences how do i know it will fit? Really wish Icue H150i have a led fan option.......

Just buy a Noctua NH-U12s.

 

As for the CPU compare what AMD has brought to the table. I don't think Intel will have their 10nm process node up and running.

How so? Isnt Intel launching them in Sept?

Cant you remove the existing fan and replace it with one you like?

I could but it will add around $50 extra for 3 120mm fans that may not have same quality as Corsairs.

The case is big enough to fit that radiator, the advertised 360mm means it packs 3x 120mm fans, but the rad itself is usually bigger.

 

If you look at the case you'll see the mounting holes for 3x 120mm fans on the side but also a clearance for the rest of the radiator, the tubes, etc.

Yea the rad dimension its what worries me. So if a case says it supports 360mm rad does it mean all 360mm fits? i noticed there are rad over 400mm

Hey I’m Alex and I built my first pc back in early 2020 and I have a ASUS b450 prime motherboard, ryzen 3 3200g with Vega 8 integrated graphics, AMD Radeon ROG strix rx570 GPU, 2 8gb ram, and a 500 watt psu. I don’t know how to make the rx570 gpu my primary graphics my default are the Vega 8 graphics. And I plan on upgrading to a ryzen 5. I’m about to purchase a deepcool matrexx 55 case and a cpu water cooler. I built this computer on a budget so my main goal was about 500 dollars US mabye a little bit more so it’s not the best but it get the job done for gaming. If y’all could help me it would be much appreciated. thanks
