Hi,

I just acquired a i7 4790k good condition used it  still works "good friend of mine"

and i have a cooler-master advanced II 690 case , the thing is the cpu

comes  with a nepton cm 280l so i was wondering if this fits on that case

some people tell me it fits , some people said bottom , top ... no innuendos here keep reading....

the thing its coming from the UK so  some months from now ... i needed the processor and the dude had the cooler and he bundled it up.

For fans i would get either Fractal Design Venturi HP-14 PWM or Noctua NF-A14 PWM.

And yes i saw that it was the CM 690 II Advanced in the first post.

Get an SSD not a SSHD for the main boot drive.

Because they are much faster at booting up the pc and loading games/programs. They are very reliable. I would suggest the Samsung 850 EVO.

 

Trust me you will notice a huge difference if you put windows on an SSD.

SSD for Windows and games/programs that you frequently use. A 250GB SSD is a decent size, but you can go bigger if you have the budget.

 

Use the larger capacity hard drives for mass storage. So video/photo/music files etc.

OK , question , Wont the constant download of updates(writing in general) of  (steam, windows apps and or browser's) shorten the life of the HDD.

The Samsung 850 EVO has a mean time before failure of 1.5 Million Hours. So in other words it is extremely reliable. The 5 year warranty is also a good indication. 

 

Not sure what the figure is for a standard hard drive, but you don't really have to worry about the lifespan in day to day usage.

Probably the Nepton as a 280mm should perform better than a 240mm. Either would be fine though.
