Btw I don’t really understand fan technology. I understand what makes a fan good but I am clueless of where I should put them which way or anything like that. Where would you recommend me put my fans for intake and outtake?

2 in Front so that they Pull air in. 2 At Top and 1 at Back Push air out.

That should give more than enough Air Flow.

Ok cool! Btw I saw that people have fans backwards should I have any of my fans backwards? Thanks for your help!

Noctua fans have arrows on them showing the direction of Air Flow. Install Front Fans so that the Arrow is pointing Inwards. Install Top fans so that the Arrow is pointing upwards. Install back Fans with Arrow pointing towards outside of the case.

This will ensure that Front fans are pulling air into the case and top and back fans are pushing air out of the case.

There have been many comments and videos regarding case fan placement. I have found that a slight over pressure and equal pressure works well, that is slightly more air entering the case or equal intake and exhaust air. The best air flow should be from the bottom or bottom front and exit out of the case top or rear top of the case.

Sorry for the delayed response I have been busy. I was wondering if the ASUS TUF GAMING PRO would hold any of my components back or make my cooling bad or not as good. I want to make sure I get a mobo that won’t hold my components back and will get me good thermals. Thanks you for your time. (Btw I use blender, maya and some pretty other demanding apps so that will make my pc run hotter)

 

[Danra]

The ASUS TUF GAMING PRO motherboard is a very good board, very good VRM, higher tier models do better with RAM overclocking, if that is important to you. Some people would like more USB ports on the rear I/O, however if it has enough for you then this board will do a good job for you. Good balance of price and performance.

Ok cool thanks you saved me $300!

On PcPartPicker said this about my build, Note:Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower Case has a front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, but the Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard does not have sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 headers. The case USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port will not be usable. Is this a big problem, should I change my motherboard or case? (My case is the Fractal Meshify 2)

I recommended X570-PRO not X570-PLUS. X570-PRO has front USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port.

I want to get a seasonic prime titanium 850w should I upgrade it to 1000w?

 

[YoIAmDashing]

I use really demanding apps like blender and maya at 4K. I also wanna play games like Battlefield V, Doom eternal at max settings.

 

[King Dranzer]

I want to get a seasonic prime titanium 850w should I upgrade it to 1000w?

Would go with Corsair RM1000x instead as it is a very high quality unit. And comes at lower price point. And it is more than enough.

 

[YoIAmDashing]

Ok, I was doing some research and people were saying that the HX and the HXi series were really good psu at a good price. Would you recommend the HX or HXi series over the RMx series psus?

Well they are good. No doubt in that. Well if priced a lot higher than RMx series then yes go for it. Like if you manage to find HX1000 for $200-250 then it is fine. But if you are looking at HX850. Then I would recommend RM1000x over it as having greater headroom and not running PSU on its max load is better than going for greater efficiency and running it on max load.

 

[YoIAmDashing]

I found a HX1000 at Corsair for $204!

[YoIAmDashing]

What mobo would you recommend I don’t know if I should get the ASUS TUF PRO or the MSI tomahawk?

 

[King Dranzer]

ASUS TUF PRO.

 

[YoIAmDashing]

Thanks how about ASUS TUF PRO vs Gigabyte Aorus Ultra?

 

[King Dranzer]

Thanks how about ASUS TUF PRO vs Gigabyte Aorus Ultra?

At that price I would purchase ASUS ROG Strix X570-E for $20 more. ASUS TUF PRO is $200 board while Gigabyte Aorus Ultra is $300 board. Completely different price categories.

 

[YoIAmDashing]

Ok I also I would be willing to spend $100 more to get a better mobo.

 

[YoIAmDashing]

Would you consider it a better mobo?

 

[King Dranzer]

Would you consider it a better mobo?

Yes Stix X570-E has more features and better VRMs. It is better than both TUF-Pro as well as Aorus Ultra.
