First pc build
14 hours ago, Why_Me said:You couldn't choose a more difficult case to cut your teeth on for a first time build if you tried. That fish tank case requires 3x120mm fans along with a AIO just to create enough air pressure to keep your components from cooking. That i9 runs on the hot side meaning that B760 board won't handle it and you will suffer thermal throttling.聽 If this is a gaming build then I would consider something like this down below. It doesn't look as niche as a fish tank case but it doesn't get any better than a conventional case with air cooling, especially for your first build. Low profile RAM so that it doesn't impede this dual tower cooler. Use the MS Key # that comes with the Windows disk to register online after you download Windows.
