Hello all! I hope everyone reading this thread is doing fine. I'm planning to build my first ever PC by the end of the year with these specs:
Since I'm new to PC building and have only seen other people build PCs I'd like to know what kind of fan setup that's needed for the Cooler Master H500 or NZXT H510. I'm not planning to OC anything however I do want to keep temps really cool and I've read some threads that said the airflow on the H510 is quite bad so I think I'll be going for the CM H500 instead but I'd like to know your answers regarding these cases. Also I'm trying to avoid using AIOs for budgetary reasons. Would included stock coolers be alright for this build? If not, what kind of fans and fan setup would you recommend for the cases?
TL;DR Which case should I choose? What fans/fan setup do I need?
Case | Cooler Master H500 / NZXT H510 |
Motherboard | ASRock b550 |
CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor |
RAM | XPG 3200mhz (2x8gb) 16GB |
Graphics Card | RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Windforce OC |
PSU | Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80 Bronze |
Thermal Paste (just in case lol) | Arctic MX-4 |
