My old m1 build from 2014 died. Trying to figure out if to salvage and rebuild....OR start from scratch.
Was wondering what an example build might be for air cooling a i9 9900k and gtx 2080
What motherboards are people using?
Graphic cards?
Aio coolers?
What is the gold standard?
Any help...
Thanks for all the nice comments. Yeah. I could have left the fan out for more storage and in the future I can always take it out, but had to totally cut the fan otherwise the dude panel protrudes out.
As for videos... Sorry. That would have taken me forever on top of forever cause I was so...
WOW. I am finished. So happy. so many issues i ran into secondary to not realize this case is so tiny, and plus im inexperienced. built a couple computers before but they were much bigger cases; took forever to setup cause i was taking my time and being slow. but still. wished my cable...
Im kind of a newbie here. trying to find the easiest solution w/out delving into soldering. your setup looks very cool...yet advanced. I feel like I would mess that up. Is three any 4 pin mini connector that comes off gpu connects to 2 fans, and also has a sata or other connector to supply power?
what adapters would i need?
would something like this work?http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16798/cab-1008/Akasa_Flexa_FP3S_3-Way_Splitter_-_Smart_Fan_Cable_w_SATA_Power_Auxiliary_Connector_AK-CBFA06-30.html?tl=g47c251s1325
i thought about connecting the fans with a 4 pin connector w/ a splitter y splitter cable off the gpu such as this

Was wondering how to "wire up the 12V power to the PSU and just use the GPU for fan control. "
I thought if the 4 pin cable coming...
So I emailed the evga customer support on whether the specific gtx 980 had 4 pin mini connectors for extra fans. here was their response:
"The card has a single 4 pin connector and a 2 pin connector on it, but we don't recommend using a splitter like that for additional fans. It could...
Any idea if this specific card:

Has the ability to hook up the 4pin mini connector to control extra fans? I did a google search and image search to look at pcb but Couldn't find the answer. Will keep searching.
It almost looks...
Had a couple more questions.
1. I was going to stick 2ssds, a 3.5 hard drive, and a slim optical drive in the case. Where would be the optimal placement for this?
2. Also, I saw that some people were running pwm fans off their gpu. Was wondering how they were doing this. I know they are...
thanks for answering my questions. have purchased everything. hopefully it all arrives in a timely fashion to coincide with my off time so i can get this bad boy off the ground.
had a few questions left.
1. Do i need the Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter or the 6 Inch Slimline SATA to SATA Female/Male Adapter for the panasonic blu-ray writer?

thanks all for the collective input; still mulling over multiple fans.
have the basic build in my head, now to just suck it up and make the purchase. seems the power supply and the graphics card will take the longest to get here.
was wondering about windows 7 vs 8 vs just using that...
had a couple more questions.
1. how many additional fans are people generally placing on their builds? 2 x 120 on sides, a 140 in back? fans on bottom?
2. are demci filters all that much better than stock filters?
3 a link for that slim samsung blu-ray drive would be great?
thanks for the suggestions; keep me posted on how the 980 turns out. I didn't realize the 980 was out of stock in a lot of places...guess it makes sense
any idea if this card would fit
