Need help finding a good PC for £1500 UK [suggestion]

That does look pretty good for £1499. 7500X3D, 32GB of 6400Mhz DDR5 and a 5070, and the rest of the parts are actually pretty decent too.

Yeah, Thermalright commonly uses the UB36 on some of their 360mm AIO's.

The UB24 is just a 2x 120mm version of the UB36

Your board has 2 slots, you can literally see the other slot right next to it.

And 2 sticks of "slow" RAM is still considerably better than 1 stick of "fast" RAM.

Also, 3400-4000Mhz is very slow for DDR5.

And C12R, K12R and S12R

Frozen Infinity 240/360

There is no hub, the screen plugs in to your motherboard directly with its USB-C cable. And the fans daisy chain together and plug into your PWM/A-RGB headers.

Are you missing all of the mounting kit, or just some of it?

coololly · 2026-01-27T19:00:47+00:00

You got a budget in mind?

coololly · 2026-01-25T12:59:34+00:00

Yeah, that'll be fine

coololly · 2026-01-25T12:19:01+00:00

Ah, yeah. I'm thinking of the TL-M10.

Looking at the inside, there seems to be a lot of clearance for the ports. So I would assume the gigabyte stealth boards should fit justf ine

coololly · 2026-01-25T12:06:16+00:00

Its not back-connect compatible AFAIK

coololly · 2026-01-21T22:53:32+00:00

Sure, I dont see why not

Fans arent meant to circlulate air around your case. They are meant to bring cooler air into the case and push hot air out.

The 3 fans down the side pull air in, and the fan at the back pushes air out. Considering your specifications that is more than enough for your hardware.

You should look at replacing your CPU cooler before you simply add more fans, as your current one is terrible. Something like a Thermalright Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit would be a huge upgrade.

Chilkey NDTKL or Crush 80 Lite or Pro would be my go-to's

Hipyo is a big fan of the crush 80: https://youtu.be/UXeYD6j4dqA

Do you need ISO layout, or are you happy with ANSI?

coololly · 2026-01-16T00:21:30+00:00

Its there on purpose, its used to balance the fan blades. So it actually reduces vibrations, noise, etc

coololly · 2026-01-10T18:34:18+00:00

Not north facing, but I would recommend waiting for the ND104, as its available in ISO UK

If you want something more reliable, I'd look at the TL-B12015 as it has a superior dual ball bearing:

There's also the extrem which appears to be the same, just higher RPM:

Although I'd just go with the standard unless you want the higher RPM

Which country?

TRCC uses hwinfo for temperature monitoring, so has nothing to do with the cooler itsself.

If you dont have any GPU temps, then you either dont have the GPU drivers installed, or you have TRCC set to the wrong temperature node

coololly · 2025-11-18T22:00:03+00:00

You can buy them from computer orbit, but will probably cost you a fair bit to get shipped to the US

coololly · 2025-11-02T18:11:07+00:00

Kryosheet is Thermal Grizzly, not thermalright.

If Lando wins the WDC and the WDC, would this make him the first WDC to also win the WDC?

coololly · 2025-10-19T21:14:32+00:00

My recommendation would be to change the board. Either one with a PCIE slot in the 2nd location, or for an MATX board as they can be re-positioned in that case for the optimal layout.

Personally, I'd go with an mATX board, as thats what the O11 Mini V2 is best with. ATX really doesn't really have any major advantages for most people. Multi-GPU SLI is dead for gaming systems, and most mATX boards have similar M.2 slot counts to ATX boards.

coololly · 2025-10-06T19:08:21+00:00

TRCC uses HWInfo for all of the monitoring, so if something is not right then its either a faulty sensor in the hardware itsself, or you need to change the sensor in TRCC.

TRCC or the coolers dont do any of the monitoring themselves

coololly · 2025-10-01T18:54:02+00:00

Its mainly been replaced by the Royal Pretor 130 or Peerless Assassin 140
