This would be my build in that price range mate but I would prefer to have a 3070 over a 3060Ti for VR Cooling high-power, high-end-desktop (HEDT) processors like Intel's Core X series or AMD's Ryzen Threadrippers with an air cooler is a formidable task. Typically, cooler manufacturers will increase the size of an air cooler to boost its performance and the overall amount of heat it can handle. But the finite amount of space and overhead clearance inside a PC case sets limits on how large an extreme air cooler can be. Given the larger die size and ample power consumption of today's HEDT processors, there simply isn't much room for HEDT air coolers to grow much bigger. Coolers, you pair to the CPU, intel tend to run hot, so you need a powerful cooler from the start, generally speaking CPU's these days all benefit from liquid coolers, heat production is steadily climbing as they become more and more powerful.

The cooler that you currently have is a very good cooler and both the Hyper 212 and the PCS frost flow would be a downgrade from what you currently have. 60° is a very good temp for a CPU, assuming this is under load. So I’m a little confused why you’re enquiring about the two coolers you are. Here is the spec I have created I'm not a expert in pc's & never had liquid cooling before so thought I would share it here to see what other users feel. Unique URL to re-configure: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am5-pc/KhUTKtm2yE/The previous generation of intel supported up to 2400 as default. This didn't in any way stop the motherboards from supporting XMP RAM up to 4800Mhz. The same is true now. This is the default setting for the RAM. Will 3000 work... sure, but you'll be taking a performance hit. If you're happy with that performance hit then that's up to yourself but our advice is never going to suggest that you do. There's always a case to be made with 3200 vs 3600 (due to the CAS latency) but that's a bit of a moot point as the higher frequency is still better and there's little in the way of money between them. PSU, its a known issue that it recommends some shoddy numbers. It doesnt take into account a system under full load and allow headroom on it, or future upgrades. If you want longevity, overspec the PSU so it doesnt get worn out and it can take future GPU upgrades (which have greater power consumption)

If you wanted to save some money you could transfer your Windows license if you aren't going to be using it on your current PC. Again... you're still misunderstanding. There's only so much I can dive into this so we're almost at the point where you can choose to believe me... or not. If the PC just isn't working I'm less sure about what to suggest. If cleaning your PC included unplugging things, it might be that something was simply plugged in wrong, which is very easy to do. Don't want to install liquid cooling as it requires maintenance and there is a risk of liquid loss.It's a common mistake to assume that any water cooler is inherently better than any air cooler. Liquid coolers do have some undeniable advantages, but a specific cooler's design is critically important, and some air coolers perform better than some water coolers. Generally speaking, you can expect bigger coolers of either design to outperform smaller ones, simply because larger coolers generally have more metal within to spread out absorbed heat and can typically mount more or bigger fans. Both of these factors contribute to more efficient cooling.\ Inside a PC, a stereo amplifier, or a smartphone, one red line runs through them all: The circuits inside generate heat, and something's got to keep things cool. The hardware used to keep PC components from overheating has undergone a revolution over the last decade, with once-rare liquid coolers now widely used in high-performance desktops and some cooling hardware playing a key cosmetic role in show-off gaming rigs and custom builds.

This air cooler is an unusual entry in our list—the only one not built by a familiar industry leader. The Alseye DR900 is the lowest-priced cooler in this group, but its features and value make it an enticing option if you're working on a budget build for which you want equal parts bling and cooling. The former flair comes in the form of three standard 90mm PWM fans with RGB LED lighting. When you put 3600Mhz RAM into the motherboard along with the CPU you can either run at the default 3200mhz speed, or you can turn on the XMP profile. XMP stands for eXtreme Memory Profile (EMP was already taken). When you enable this, it applies predefined settings to the system and allows the system to utilise the maximum standard of the RAM provided. This covers the changes we would recommend. Had to substitute the CPU with the 3600 as 3600x isn't available on the config. Thanks for your reply, much appreciate the advice, Taking your suggestions on board I've come up with this config. Not sure about the 3200MHz support on the intel chip... looking at the specs i'd say your right, but im a novice i'd imagine he's seen something I havent or i'm missing something, I know the motherboard supports 3600MHz no issue.Both of these factors have vastly expanded the options available for keeping PCs and chips cool. And that explosion of gear has been great for experienced system builders, while creating some confusion for those new to the scene. In this article, we've combined a brief tutorial with a list of some of the best CPU coolers now available. You'll want to read closely to ensure you get one that will work in your system. Gaming PCs Liquid Series® PCs Video Editing PCs Pro Audio Computers Professional Workstations Desktop PCs My biggest confusion items are the motherboard, power supply wattage and the appropriate CPU cooler. Year Silver Warranty (1 Year Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour) Personally I don't think the expensive warranties are worthwhile; I understand if you disagree...

I'm mainly using the system for streaming and playing mostly fps gaming, nothing crazy, at 1080p/1440p. Not particularly interested in OC'ing the cpu as my needs dont require it. Just as an additional couple of pointers, I would personally up the PSU to 1200W, I know that sounds crazy, but the 3090ti will require it, and next gen PCIe 5 GPU's have higher wattage availability, so there's a possibility that future cards will use even more power. Just for futureproofing, the last thing you want is to have to replace the PSU to fit a higher end card down the line. Einmalige URL zur erneuten Konfiguration: https://www.pcspecialist.de/gespeicherte-konfigurationen/intel-home-office-pc-V/sGvZPPQaSA/ The CPU cooler I am using right now is Corsair H100i V2 Hydro Series High Performance and when i am playing AAA games, the CPU Temps never go pass 60 D. So I don't think my CPU is overheating.Unfortunately that build won't do a great job of 1440p: the 3060 just isn't strong enough. Here's where I'd start looking: TDP is just plain lies nowadays. This is the value of the CPU when it isn't boosting. These chips will boost indefinitely when the temperatures and power limits are being adhered to. The 12600k can easily push 200w. The coolers ability is going to be massively hampered when you put it in a case. Putting that case into a cupboard.... isn't going to increase efficiency, it's going to turn the case into an oven. With any AIO you're able to expel that air as part of the function, which is an absolute no brainer. Thanks for your reply, I'm going to use it to run flight simulator mostly in VR and some moderate video editing, know what you mean about the case, it would be a trade off for having the 3070 Ti, just received the full spec from PCS. I have concerns about water cooled CPU coolers as water and electricity don't tend to mix well if ever there was a leak to occur but there are not many air cooler options, will the PCS Frostflow 200 be adequate or will this cause issues with the CPU. As stated before ths PC will not be used for any gaming. I have gone for 2 1TB SSD as I would install my music software on drive C: and the data files on drive D: and also the 1TB drive is not a lot more than a 512GB drive.
