I went from a 3600 to a 5800x3d and the performance increase is good. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HqE03SpdOs&ab_channel=HardwareUnboxed Not my video, I found it on YouTube Some games won't see much benefit, other cpu intensive games see a huge benefit

Thanks! Still considering the 5700x to be honest as the performance at 1440p looks very similar but for much less money

Considering getting one of these CPUS I have a Kraken 360 AIO which works nicely with the Ryzen 5 3600. By that I mean at idle the PC is literally silent.. Under full load Cinebench is never more than 70c, gaming is usually in the 50s. Liquid temps rarely go above 37c when gaming. ( set a...

I heard upto 3 on one header is fine

Thanks for the information guys I like to future-proof. So later down the line I will most likely upgrade the 3600 when the time comes. I'm all about balance, so as I have three fans bottom, I would like three fans top.

Ryzen 5 3600. Putting the rad on side is not an option due to cable management. The AIO has to fit at the top ideally. Only slight concern with putting the pipes on the left is that they may touch the GPU slightly.

I'm considering getting a 360mm Kraken Elite ( upgrade from a 240mm) due to the newer model having a nice screen, better cable management and better cooling. Ideally mount to the top of the case with the pipes on the left ( so they don't obstruct my side case fans ) and then remove the rear...

Fixed it ! Needed to power the node cores separately via a powered USB hub

Because I’m running 8 fans. Done some reading and basically the issue is the motherboard doesn’t work well with the commander pros usb pass through function. I heard that by using a separate powered usb hub it may work

I have two lighting nodes connected to a Commander Pro. Commander pro then connects to a USB header on the mobo All the fans work, and all the fans have RGB. However in iCue, I only see the Commander Pro but no Lighting Nodes and therefore I cannot change the colour scheme. Occasionally I get...

Possibility of having a front mesh in future Exhaust at the rear Possibility of having 140mm fans and not just 120mms Also slightly bigger in dimensions meaning a bit more clearance. Also RGBs at the front are a nice touch.

OK understood. I would consider a front mesh in the future though. I have decided For now I'd like to keep all my current fans which would mean having a 240mm rad top. 120mm exhaust. Then two 140mms at the front/side. According to my UK supplier the standard 011 does not support 140s so I...

Thanks for the useful information. The main reason I was considering the EVO over the standard 011 is that I can have a rear exhaust fan fitted and apparently cable management is easier on the EVO, is this true ? I plan on running a 240mm rad at the top, and three 120mm fans at the...

Are these cases any good ? I heard quality control on Lian Li isn't as good these days ?

I use Noctua Thermal Cleaning Wipes Otherwise use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol with some lint free wipes
