Will this setup cause high temperatures?

[justice507]

Planning to get a Custom Built done by a shop.

Casing : NZXT H500 BLACK

DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD: ASROCK Z370M PRO4 (ATX motherboard)
OR B360M PRO4 (ATX motherboard)

CPU options : Intel® Core™ i7-8700 Coffee Lake 6 Core Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.6 GHz)

CPU Cooling System (Desktop) : CRYORIG C7 Low Profile CPU Cooler

Graphics Card : NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5

From what I've researched, the NZXT H500 doesnt provide much ventilation or airflow, as shown in this youtube(video).

Sorry if I'm a tech noob.

Can someone tell me what affects the temperature in my setup here, is it the CPU, Motherboard, size of Mobo(ATX or mATX) other than the cooling system?

Will the NZXT H500 casing be able to handle my current setup, and not result in high temperatures?

Do I need to downgrade to an i5, or downgrade my motherboard to a B360 or change the size of it etc?

The worst case option would be to change the case to the Coolermaster Q300L but for some reason for this casing option, the shop ONLY has the H310 mobo and doesnt have dual channel ram options (2x8) for me to pick on their website.

Would appreciate if someone could give me some advice here.

H500 is good case, I will get a different cooler, C7 is too weak, H7 is better and you shouldn't have overheating issue. What GPU do you have?

@vapour I have updated the post.

Thats the thing though, they only have the C7 cooler option and the rest are AIOs... which is slightly unncessary and not as reliable and durable as the aircooler.

I can try to ask if they can give me the H7 as a special request but theres no guarantees

 

[vapour]

Yeah, is your major usage gaming?

 

[justice507]

hmm mainly would be video editing, photoshop, after effects etc... but I would still play games from time to time if theres good games available. Just not as frequent..

The H7 can easily handle the 65w thermals of the 8700.
It can cool processors with 140w thermal load.

If productivity is your major usage, Ryzen 7 is your better choice for the money.
My suggestion:

Ryzen 2700X
stock cooler is really good
X470 MB
16 gb ddr4 3200 ram

@Unolocogringo Thanks for the insight!

@vapour I'm not sure about that because I dont build the PC myself, you see. the shop doesnt have everything, they only have the Ryzen 1900X, 1920X and 1950X. most are quite expensive and really bulky. I have little knowledge to build on my own thus I have to find them to build it for me, and they do provide warranty and repair services so yeah and are quite reputable in that area. Yeah...you get the point.

Think I will stick to my current options and try and get the H7 cooler if possible..

But just in case I cant get the H7 cooler and have to stick with the C7 cooler, do you think I need to downgrade my CPU to an i5? or downgrade mobo, gpu, ram etc etc? What do u suggest?

This is the website I'm talking about if u want to take a look.

The C7 can handle CPUs with 100w load. It will be about 25% cooler at full load and much quieter than the stock cooler.
Plenty of cooler for the 8700.

 

[vapour]

For your usage, 8700 is better to have due to doubled threads compared to I5. Looks like C7 it is. Make sure ram is 2x8 gb dual, 2666 is enough for B360 MB.

You will want to buy an ssd and plug it in yourself. Editing on HDD will be a pain.

 

[justice507]

@vapour, thank you so much. Appreciate it. I may be getting the H7 cooler, just as a safer precaution.

If C7 is installed, don't bother, you will be fine
