So I've currently had to put my plan on hold to get that AIO CPU cooler from Arctic but it is definetly going onto my "next to upgrade" list :). Thanks for all the advice!

thanks chun2maru for your reply. However, I am trying to go for a quiet yet decent performing build, a 3000rpm fan would be counterproductive to that ;) but the temperatures are nice. plus, I have a bad case (be quiet! Pure Base 500 with a tinted window) which is known for bad airflow. I am in...

Ok so I've pretty much got my case fan question resolved. I will post an update here once I have them installed etc. :) Thanks for all the replies and advice thus far! edit: due to the whole global pandemic it may take a bit for me to get back to here to give an update on the story.

Ok thanks Jayant Arora. The thing about the NH U12A is the colour that doesn't go with my rig and the price is quite high. I'm currently stuck between getting the Deep Rock Pro 4 / Deep Rock 4 and the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280. Would you also say that the Liquid Freezer II 280 is also less...

Ok I created it a while back. I'd appreciate your input and of the others that have posted here as well :) https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/choice-of-cpu-air-cooler.3610151/

OK I will use HWinfo64 instead. Is it also more accurate than HIW Monitor? I will check but I am pretty sure they are 4 pin fans, as when I play around with the fan curves they instantly react. Is this a good indicator to say they are 4 pin fans as 3 pin fans only go full power or not at all...

Yeah, here the ambient temperatures inside are around 25-30 and that is without air condition. With air conditioning that could be lowered. So air coolers should suffice no? Also, I've heard that AIO do have some issues due to the systems being closed that they start having air in them and that...

Thanks for both of your replies. So even if I were to OC the 3700x, how high could the W maximally go? When you talk about capacity you mean the maximal capacity to cool the CPU correct? The higher the capacity, the higher W the cooler can take and still cool the CPU right? Since I'm hoping...

Ok thanks for all the replies. Did you guys have a look at the noctua splitters and what did you think of them? What is nice is that they come in a pack of 3 and cost only 3 euros more (compared to the akasa one, where you only get one splitter) My apologies for the portuguese website it was...

Thanks for the details I have the same two splitters that I can order although paying for the AK-CBFA04-15 seems quite expensive, considering that is only one splitter and costs 7,49 euros. I could get the pack of 3 y splitters from noctua chromax for 9,90. and those are PWM as well...

I am currently based in Portugal. You said you were in Denmark right? ^^ I am not familiar with pricerunner what site is that?

Ah ok thank you. That would explain the slow build up of dust in the case. Well dust will always be around it is just the nature of the beast. But negative pressure is gonna make it worse / has made it worse that is for sure. So definetly 2 artics in the front is a must, no question. The...

Oh and just to clarify the VRM are the circular and rectangular shaped mosfets correct? (basically to the left and above the CPU right? they also have the two heatsinks, one with the AORUS writing on it (to the left of the CPU) and the other above the CPU without any writing on it, correct?

Your message had me a little stumped. Well at the moment (with the mesh cover installed on top and putting the other more solid top cover over it (thus the mesh cover acts to catch the dust that would otherwise just enter the pc (as it is atm)). I did notice however that there is some dust build...

I just saw the picture that you included. Is it the round module or the square one above it? Definetly placing an exhaust fan on top above it should help with airflow. The VRM usually is the temp sensor on the motherboard which usually runs the highest/hottest correct?
