Friends PC Build

[brisk wave]

£200 for a case!!!!???

[bleak bone]

lmfao I was confused af for a second. Its £115 in shipping, god forbid why but just wouldn't buy it from there

[uncut fox]

not to mention the unneeded fans which add an additional 60$

@bleak bone the lian li lancool 216 comes with specially built fans for that exact case

it will preform worse with other fans

They don’t perform worse

[uncut fox]

he was buying 120mm fans

160 > 120

[brisk wave]

Oh mb, I though you meant the lancool 216s fans were worse

[uncut fox]

it's alright

[bleak bone]

those would be for the top if i recall

from what friend said

it was that or 2 140, but he said he did the math and he'd get more pressure and air intake from the 3 so went with that instead

[uncut fox]

there's no need

it'll harm preformace

[bleak bone]

how come?

[uncut fox]

You're going to be pulling air away from the cooler

[bleak bone]

Think he wanted those as intake not exhaust

[uncut fox]

intake on top?

[bleak bone]

Idk not how I'd do it but yh

[uncut fox]

because the 2 160mm fans that come pre installed are better

[bleak bone]

ik

[uncut fox]

and top intake is stupid

[bleak bone]

I have a fractal torrent

whole reason i got it is for the 2 180mm lol

Just tryna convince him to change some stuff

[uncut fox]

technically the fans that come with it are 170mm

it says 160mn because that's the size of the actual fan blades

[bleak bone]

So you're suggesting the system will be fine without those 3 extra case fans?

Even with it being a 7800xt which can sometimes run smidge hot? Also any thoughts on swapping the mobo to something bit better?

[uncut fox]

it will perform best with the fans that come pre installed if you're going to be air-cooling

those fans that come with the case are specially designed for the case

[bleak bone]

that is v true

New goal is just hunting round for new mobo then

Thoughts on these two motherboards?

[brisk wave]

I’d personally get either the ASRock Livemixer B650, Gigabyte Gaming X AX B650, the ASRock PG Riptipn B650e or the Gigabyte Aorus Elite B650

Oh wait UK

Disregard the ASRock boards then

[bleak bone]

yh not a fan of asrock lol

[brisk wave]

I also quite like these asus boards https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/Pz2WGX,9rV2FT

The wifi version is out of stock rn but it should cost about as much as the Gaming X AX

[bleak bone]

friend doesnt have ethernet so needs wifi
