Question Setup reasonable?

[GlobiWanKenobi]

Hi

I came up with this setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hQTTv3

Basically my budget is around 2k. I use a TV (LG C9 with G-Sync) for Gaming. Also 4k would be great. I am very unsure in what GPU/CPU to invest here.

Basically my only other requirement is the case.
The case would exactly fit to my setup in my livingroom (size-wise).

Lian Li O11 Air Mini

I have always had bigger cases therefore my question: Will there be enough airflow with the setup above? How many fan cooler should I pack in? Also does the rest of the setup make sense or are there some obvious changes/potential to save money or get more for it?

(Additionally I thought about going for a whole setup with corsair AIO and Fans since I have a keyboard from them and could put all this things together witho ique. But not sure if the money is worth the bling.)

And advice would be very appreciated! Thanks in advace!

(Edit: I also read this. Now I don't know if I rather should wait?)

197 dollars for 5 case fans.

Is there something in particular you like about them?

 

[Misgar]

The fans are 97.41CFM

Not at all, my reseller has them cheaper (and I just basically linked the whole setup from there). And reccomendations on fans?

Here my expertise ends^^ What does this mean? Google says airflow, but that doesnt help me.

Thanks for your replys.

Your case comes with 3 fans.

Lian Li fans are at least decent.

I'd just see how things go with the 3 supplied fans.

If unhappy, change them.

Maybe they are fine; you save 197.

You can't know how that will turn out without experimentation....first hand experience.

97cfm is powerful for a computer case fan. You shouldn't have any problems cooling the case with 5 of these fans.

The lian li air mini is an excellent case for air cooling.
High cfm fans are the result of high rpm and are noisy.
the included front 140mm fans will supply all the cooling air you might ever want.
Actually, smaller cases will channel the airflow better.

I would not use an aio when there is a good air cooler solution available.Noctua NH-D15s will cool equally well, be more reliable, be quieter, and will not leak.

If the only thing you do, the X3d processors are very good.
But, once you start to multitask or run apps that can use many threads, the X3d becomes not as good as the base chip.

On waiting, if you wait for the next best thing, you will wait forever.
Buy what you need now, now.

That 83/97 cfm only happens at 100%rpm, which in case fans almost Never applies unless you specify that rpm specifically.

Most cases temps never exceed @ 40ish°C, unless they have absolutely miserable airflow, which that Lian-Li most decidedly does not. Meaning your case fans will generally be running maybe 60% at best.

And performance on an airflow fan is Not linear, at @ 60% fan rpm you'll be closer to 50% at most of that cfm, if not less.

The Arctic fans are made to be used with the Arctic AIO, changing those out for high airflow/low sp fans will cost you temps and efficiency in a bad way. Without a balanced amount of static pressure to move the cfm through a rads restriction, the cfm bounces back into the fan, gets recycled, and adds up to zero amount of actual air moved for the cost of a lot of turbulence noise.

Noctua NH-D15s will cool equally well, be more reliable, be quieter, and will not leak.

1. Sort of, the temps will be similar but the cpu will be at higher boosts for longer on more cores with the Aio. Temps as a defining factor like that only apply to static frequency, not dynamically boosting frequencies.
2. Only after @ 6 years of constant use, otherwise today's AIO's are equally as reliable when comparing similar quality.
3. No. Pound for pound, AIO's are more efficient than aircoolers, fans run at lower speed requirements, less noise. Noise itself is repondant to the fan, there's Plenty of aircoolers that are miserably loud due to crap fans. Comparing a Noctua fan for noise against most other aircooler fans and claiming a broad statement of aircoolers are quieter in general is asinine.
4. I owned a NH-D15 that leaked from a bad solder weld on a heatpipe. I owned a Phanteks PH-TC14PE that had a warped baseplate. I owned a Raijintek Tisis that wouldn't mount on a Z77 mobo because of heatpipe interference with the vrm heatsinks. EVERYTHING has a failure rate, that includes aircoolers, so saying an aircooler 'will not leak' implies an AIO WILL leak, and thats arrogant assumption at best.

Last time I checked, the failure rate as totalled by rma process, for Corsair AIO's was 0.1%. Being RMA, that included every reason under the sun for a return product, that means wrong color, wrong size, fan failed, pump failed, led didn't work, didn't like iCue, broke on shipping, got scared off by ppl claiming AIO's will leak, every idiot excuse you can think of, while actual leaks are closer to 0.01%.

Op. Don't spend extra on fans that are not needed, you'd be wasting money. You'd be far better served in the long run with a better mobo, like the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX

You might want to shop for a psu with at least a 7 yr warranty.
10 yr would be even better.
Take a look at the corsair 850x.

 

[GlobiWanKenobi]

Thank you for all you replies.

So I changed up the PSU and the Motherboard and the ram (because it's cheaper):

After the whole discussion about Thermals I am still not completely sure.

I think the AIO setup would fit my case pretty good. Since I don't have too much space on the back but the right side (looking at it from the front) would be free, where it would stand close to a wall on the left side. When I read this 2x 140mm and 1x 120mm fans come with the case. Is this already enough? And what would the setup be?
I would rather be on the safe side with thermals.

Holy crap...

If you had a tail, you'd be chasing it round and round... speculation doesn't get anywhere fast. It doesn't hurt to try things as they are.
It will be fine with the preinstalled fans moving air front to back.
One reviewer did test it with the stock configuration: https://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/lian_li_o11_air_mini_review/4

If you're purchasing these kind of parts, I can also assume you have air conditioning, or live in a cool climate?
