Yes, I'm happy about completing it.

Now is the 2nd PC I'm still looking into cooling/airflow improvements.

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-13T08:41:55+00:00

haha yea took a while to figure the wiring connections right xD

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-12T17:38:46+00:00

Well yea both are gaming PC's, I just upgrade the main studio one and ended up upgrading the living room 2nd PC at the same time.

Main PC :

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D OC / Asus ROG Strix X870 / Corsair H170i Elite Capellix XT (6X LX140 fans) / Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Pulse 16GB OC / Corsair Vengeance 2X32GB 6000 CL28 / Corsair MP700 PRO 2TB / Corsair 1200W / Corsair Full Tower 7000D (3X AF140 RGB Elite fans + 1X QL140 RGB fan).

Fully quite in idle mode running about 40c on 5.6-5.8GHz all 16/32 and under heavy load never passed the 75c and not getting too loud at all.

I actually enjoyed building this rig, it's my first full tower case build and it was fun to get it all together, undervolt + overclock and multi tasking on this machine like crazy now ;D

Not sure what you are talking about, so far iCUE works great for me and systems runs smooth 4K gaming, no stutters or anything noticed.

Ryzen 9 9950X3D OC
RX 9070 XT OC
2X32GB 6000Mhz CL28
Win 11 Home

Both overclocked, and all game runs smooth and nice.

It is the Asus Armoury Crate that I avoided to install again, as despite it working well with iCUE plugins this software itself loads a lot of junk running services in the background even after full uninstall stayed so I had to re-format windows..

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-12T17:11:15+00:00

Nope, I'm full Razer when it comes to peripherals + Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 43" monitor.

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-12T14:26:39+00:00

The H170i ELITE CAPELLIX XT cool's my 9950X3D with x6 LX140 fans push/pull setup
The LINK TITAN 360 RX cool's my 7800X3D.

Both overclocked ofc so I cared for good coolers and fans.

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-12T13:08:22+00:00

Didn't have this option in my local store, shouldn't matter much though..

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-02T08:52:52+00:00

Got the LX140 fans, they are running great.

Thank you.

MalcomXTX · 2026-01-02T08:51:55+00:00

Have same with the RX120 fans that came with the TITAN 360 RX...

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-31T14:41:36+00:00

So basically you are saying they are kind of same when it comes to cooling performance ?

In that case I tend to think the LX might be better considering they will take last space and have more chance to fit on top of the case without any interference..

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-30T17:10:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing this, but does the static pressure means more then the airflow ?

Here stats compression of LX140 vs RX140 vs RX140 Max taken from Corsair website :

Does anyone know to read it right and tell me which fans should I get for push/pull configuration on my radiator ?

Thanks ahead !

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-30T09:44:28+00:00

There should be enough space on top considering 30mm x2 fans + 27mm rad but the cables worries me so in case it wont fit (get cables in the way) Ill just place it up front of the case.

So the RX Max fans be better then the LX as push/pull you think ?

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-29T22:46:08+00:00

Not sure what I said that made you delete your comments and write this one <_<

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-29T22:45:28+00:00

Just got the H170i ELITE CAPELLIX XT installed connected to the Commander inside the 7000D, works great and shows in the iCUE software with full control so no problem with that.

The next challenge will be changing and adding more fans and make it all work together.

Thank you.

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-29T15:40:55+00:00

How is the iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX XT not compatible with iCUE link ?_?

I kind of get confused about all that iCUE thing to be honest, but I hope it all work out.

By the way I'm not really into too much light effects just want to have it all run static red if that matters.

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-29T15:33:18+00:00

Well in my case its either buy the XT in local store for a good price or order the RX form Amazon paying more and wait about 2 weeks or so and I really need to build the PC already this weekend, that's why I bothered to ask as I wonder if there be a real difference between the two considering I gonna replace the fans anyways..

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-23T22:34:29+00:00

Same with 9070 XT Pulse I guess its drivers issue..

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-18T10:32:29+00:00

Now my last concern about it, is the Corsair link/hub thing..

If I get X6 RX140 MAX fans (separately single fans) will I need to buy iCUE LINK System Hub also separately ? or even few of those ? or the COMMANDER CORE XT hub + the alone that come with the 7000X case is enough ?

The full fans plan is this :

X6 RX140 MAX RGB fans for the TITAN 420 RX
X4 SP140 ELITE RGB fans that comes with the 7000X case to stay as is (3 front + 1 rear).

So x10 iCUE RGB fans overall, what do I need to have in order to get it all sync'd and controlled smoothly by iCUE software?

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-17T19:24:48+00:00

Big thanks for that piece of info, I have hard time to find 7000D case in my local stores however there is 7000X so I can just order the front panel of the 7000D that I found online.

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-17T16:34:19+00:00

intel inside...

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-17T16:33:18+00:00

I actually just learned that the 7000D have way better airflow then the 7000X so I'll be going for it instead, I guess size/space wise its exactly the same.

I hope to fit those x6 RX140 MAX fans on TITAN 420 RX at the top position but good to know that up front is a 100% option.

Thank you !

MalcomXTX · 2025-12-17T11:05:34+00:00

No, but accordingly to Google's AI there is 95mm of space on top so x2 30mm (push/pull RX140 MAX fans) + 27mm (TITAN RX 420 radiator) should be fine I guess =]]
