MSI GTX 1070 OC Build (first build) HELP

[Zadkielle]

Hellow guys,

So I'm making my first ever build and I'm getting far with it and I think it's all done but I'd like to hear some professional opinion or at least someone with similar builds if I'm missing something or if I could improve on anything.

It's a gaming build, I'm also an artist and I use lots of adobe apps, also looking forward to OverClocking everythiiiing so pls tips on that and if my rig is ok for that

thanks for any tips and help!

I would change coolers, and thats all I would recommend.

Any recommendation? I'm not considering Liquid coolers as for now, but if I have to then I guess

Oh I would definitely recommend water cooling, you will get much more overclocking performance, it will be much quieter and I think it looks cooler personally.*pun intended* Why do you not want to go with water cooling?

I personally wanted to begin with, i was planning on getting a "Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler" but I thought I'd be cheaper and almost same performance to get a normal one, but since I see the prices for OC air cooling are almost the same es liquid I guess I could go for one, but I have no idea which watercooler or if it'd fit my case

well the H440 will pretty much house any water cooler, I personally would get the H115i

h115i is the perfect cooler.

Noctua NHD15

If you really don't wanna grab a AIO water cooler (they're perfectly safe and good, and even a 120mm radiator yields fine results), get either a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, a be quiet! Dark Rock or something from Noctua. And personally I'd grab a Fractal Design Define R5 instead but it's really personal preference at your price point.

 

Other than that, I love your build. I wish I had something this good when I started a year ago.

Oh, any idea what's the advantage over the h100I? cause the h100i got more RPM and less noise levels than the H115i (which is a lil bit more expensive)

I'm diggin the Noctua, the only thing is would it be able to handle OC well with the lower RPM?

Well that pretty much depends on which watercooling AIO are we talking about, as many are noisier that air cooling. You can always hear the water pump...

But if you really want a decent overclock, invest in a good motherboard like the Asrock Z170 Extreme. They have one of the best oc bios options you can get and extremely reliable.
