Best Case/Cooler Combo?

[GopherTv]

What would be the best case/cooler combo for this build. I don't care about appearances or size, just best noise to performance ration. Are the ones I have selected now good or are there better options. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JkfbL9

 

Thanks!

What is that parts list? Nothing in that list makes any sense to buy besides maybe the case, motherboard, and possibly cooler, and even those struggle to make a ton of sense for most people. 

 

Read through this and update the post with the missing info so we can actually make an appropriate recommendation:

PC is for professional work so all the specs make sense for what I need (i need absurd amounts/speeds of ram and storage). I was just looking for some case and cooler recommendations for the confirmation I have.

Some issues with the build.

 

AIO is marginal for the CPU. It should be at least 360 but 420 would be my choice.

 

At this time combining memory kits will at best involve A bit of manual tuning. In my experience a professional workstation values stability over performance. Which suggests getting memory that has been qualified for 4 sockets on the motherboard. I believe that means a kit like CMK192GX5M4B5200C38 would be better.

 

The motherboard does not have any PCIe 5.0 m.2 connectors. Making the T700 a waste of budget. Besides, even on Intel motherboards that offer a PCIe 5.0 m.2 connector, the architecture is such that it generally means the GPU only has 8 PCIe lanes.

 

The less expensive i9-14900K has similar or better performance. It also comes with an Intel utility that may improve performance for the users particular environment.

 

Torrent is a nice case, but I'm not a fan of using it with an AIO.

 

PSU is vastly over capacity.

I noticed you reccomend the gen 4 ssd. Why so?

A gen 5 NVMe drive likely wouldn't make a material difference and while the performance loss to an RTX 4060 Ti of x8 rather than x16 would be very small it would likely have a bigger impact on the workflow. That said, I did suggest a motherboard that offers a PCIe 5 m.2 connector in case the faster NVMe drive was preferred.
