Gentlemen,
i'm super stocked on just how small this thing is. Let me tell ya the pictures and videos on the web don't do justice to the overall compactness and the premium feel of this product! To be completely honest, i was regretting i bough this over the DAN Case or the Sentry but i'm really happy with my choice now.
The build is fairly simple. Usual suspects. Asus Z270i, 7700k, 16GB DDR4 Vengeance LPX @ 3000mhz, 1TB 960 EVO and Corsair 600 SFX. As a graphic card i opted out for the MSI 1070 Sea hawk(though i can swap it for a 1070 Strix with a friend). I still have a few questions before i go ahead and build this little monster
The goal is building a powerful yet fairly quiet gaming PC that will NOT thermal throttle. I also want to do a super clean build.
1) I will order custom cables from Cable Mod. Whats the absolutely shortest length of PSU cables i can get away with?
It's my first build so forgive my question.. Do i need any other cable beside the 24 pin and the 8pin for the GPU? I will not use any SATA HDD or SSD, just the M2.
2) Corsair H50 VS H60 VS H75. As i plan to go dual AIO(more on that later) i would like to know which is the best performer.
3) Fans orientation and set up. I will get 2 Corsair SP 120 Quiet Edition for the rads. The questions is.. intake or exhaust? I've seen a lot of different opinion on the subject but whats the general consensus in the [H] community?
Do i have to install the fans on the rads inside the case(like linus) if i want intake? I see some people comments on Reddit having them on the outside and claiming they are intakes. I'm confused..
4) Finally, many people succeed installing two AIO coolers. What are the challenges? Any advice that will save me time, ripped tubes and blood on my hands will be greatly appreciated
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for all the help!
PS: I'm planning to do a full build log once i've got all the parts
