Tecware Alpha Build

[MT14]

So I have finally put together my Photo/Video Editing and Gaming workstation..

 

At this point I want to add some bling and proper cooling

 

PC Specs:

Intel i7 6700

ASUS H-170 PRO

8GBx2 Crucial 2133MHz DDR4

Samsung EVO 850 250GB

Toshiba 3TB HDD

Zotac GTX 1070 Mini

Seasonic M12II 520W

Tecware Alpha Mid Tower

 

The things I want to change:

I currently have the CPU Stock cooler and Stock Case fans

No RGB lighting on any component

 

Long Term plan:

2 Corsair SP 120 LED Fans in Front (Intake)

2 Corsair SP 120 LED Fans on Top (Intake)

1 Corsair AF 120 LED Fan at the back (Exhaust)

Cryorig M9i CPU Cooler

 

What do you think?

So far so good

Would've saved $100 and gotten a Xeon for the CPU, but otherwise it's great.

judging from the case he has, he's from the Philippines. Xeons aren't available here.

Yup, I'm Filipino based in Singapore.

 

Got the Tecware alpha as it looks good and has the features I need to keep the system looking clean.. 

 

I got the i7 as I didn't purchase the GPU right away and needed a stopgap

Pinoy too! Nice build. Good luck mate.

 

maybe I'll change the hard drive to a Western Digital Blue Caviar.

You probably won't need extra intake fans on top. They won't do much to overall cooling as CPU cooler is so small already.

I see, I wanted to push the airflow go the back of the CPU for the exhaust. Also looking to go for positive air pressure for less dust inside.

 

What do you think?

For positive pressure 2 in, 1 out is fine. You can further improve that setup by having rear spin at lower speed that two intakes.
