So I was planning a build and I want the 4000x case, so should I:

 

1. Get a 360mm aio, front mounted, and the case fans for output (balanced)

 

2. Get a 280mm, top mounted, and keep case fans (positive pressure)

 

I'll be cooling a 5600x

 

any help is appreciated

Or get a case with good airflow and use a 30€ tower for same temps.

Its not horrible if you plan to use a low wattage gpu. But throw in a 350W 3080 and itll run much louder than it would in a case with good airflow.

it was either a 3070 or a 6800, what about the 4000d airflow, stacks well in GN's ranking

never fortn mount an AIO. it will make cpu temps lower but gpu temps higher. since you have only 5600x you should use top mounted. and since you have 3080 is is much better to have top mounted aio.

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

280mm is also overkill, though 240mm starts becoming less cost effective when you consider price to performance over a standard tower cooler.
