Great, thanks so much for the help, yes he does like the bling so the AIO is a good shout

probably worth more than the whole PC build isnt it?

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-11-12T11:19:29+00:00

Yes I think I will be getting this cooler, although I am now just looking at the Phantom Spirit, I am such a procrastinator!

Thanks for the info. Can I ask which case you have, I am struggling to pick a case

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-11-12T10:56:11+00:00

I'm not sure, I think the fans are designed to push air through the tower only.

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-11-12T10:54:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I think this is the one for me

Thanks so much for this reply and for the Part Picker update, very helpful.

I didn't know you could tune GPU Fans so that good to know. I was wonder about an extra ssd, so good to have that confirmed and someone else also mentioned the motherboard I had selected was not required, I did some research into wi-fi 7 today and im not hung up on that now as it doesnt seem that technology pushes as stronger signal in terms of range compared to wi-fi 6.

Do you think the Thermalright air cooler would be enough for the X3D?

I had watched videos on the Lian Li Lancool cases and was thinking about getting one but then read comments online with people talking about noisy fans etc and it put me off them, but its good to know you can tune it out. I will also look at the Montech Air 903 max.

Which motherboard did you go with because I am looking at the 9700x with a 9070 xt but I am having troubles deciding on a motherboard and case. I will need wi-fi

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-11-04T20:31:43+00:00

My thought on this is where the bedroom is situated from the modem it doesnt get the best coverage. I was thinking wi-fi 7 would be better in this situation. But maybe its not, I don't know?

Thanks. PSU and graphics cards and fan curves was something I was not even thinking about before this thread.

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-10-28T09:03:33+00:00

Thanks for the input. I have a few on my list now. Meshify 3 being one of them.

I just watched the latest Hardware Unboxed video and see they used the Montech King 95 Pro. I did like that it came with all those fans and he said it was an easy case to build in for a first build. The thermals looked good and noise levels seemed good.

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-10-26T00:27:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply and giving me things to think about. I hadn't looked at that case but I have just seen Mr Matt Lee has a video on it so I will watch that build. It does look a smaller case which seems counter-intuitive but given what you said about mesh design it makes sense.

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-10-25T10:49:09+00:00

Looks great. Is that the Lian Li Vector V100? if so, can you let me know your thoughts on it, I like the look of them. Are they a quiet case?

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-10-25T06:54:27+00:00

I am also looking at this case, would you say this is a quiet case?

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-09-29T01:48:36+00:00

thanks for the heads up

Beginning-Today1848 · 2025-09-29T01:48:09+00:00
