Cooling Solution For A New Build

Hi!

This is some sort of continuation from this thread that I created a while ago. The forum suggested that I shouldn't continue posting there because it's "quite old".

Anyways, I am almost done planning my new build, which is as follows:

 

New Build

CPU: i7-6700k

GPU: GTX 1080

RAM: G.Skill DIMM 16 GB DDR4-3200 (2x8GB)

SSD: Samsung 950 Pro

WiFi: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO

Case: Corsair 750D Airflow

PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro P11 650W

 

I settled for an air-cooled build, mostly using Noctua fans.

 

CPU cooling: Noctua NH-D15

GPU cooling: Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV

 

I have a question regarding the Arctic Accelero Xtreme. Which 1080 should I pick? Should I just get the cheapest 1080 (which would be the Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Jetstream for €729) since I'm going to replace the stock cooling anyway?

 

Now I have another question regarding the placement of the case fans. Would this placement make sense?:

And what do I have to implement or which software do I have to install to be able to control these fan speeds separately:

- CPU fans

- GPU fans

- Case fans

 

I am looking forward to your replies! :D
