kindred meteor
So I am upgrading my PC, which really means I'm just fully rebuilding a new one save one SSD. Here are the parts I am currently using: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
I have several issues I was hoping you all could help with:
- I currently have my AIO mounted at the top of my case in a pull exhaust formation (fans attach to case, radiator under the fans). This has created two issues. leading to some questions-
a. Given how stuff fits together, the radiator is pushing on the Corsair RGB Ram pretty hard. I was able to get it on there and it functions, but I am worried I am damaging my mobo since its putting pressure on the ram. Is that pressure okay? or should i try to get some less tall ram? (i ordered this new ram to see if it fits better https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BF8FVLSL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
b. Given that my aoi is exhausting out of the top (which I have heard is the best configuration), what's the best way for me to set up my case fans? I'm concerned that my current set up of 2 front intake fans, my top mounted exhausting AIO, and one exhausting fan in the back is going to create a negative pressure, rather then the desired slightly positive pressure system...
- The only part I am actually keeping from my old computer is my 512mb NvME, which has windows on it. My plan is to just use that drive as a place for my windows boot and system files (maybe like documents too) and use my newer/faster 970 Evo Plus 2TB NVME for games. So Two questions on this:
a. Which drive should I place in the NVME slot closest to my CPU?
b. Is it recommended to do a clean install of windows again? If so, should I just wipe the drive and do a full reinstalls of windows, or should i go into windows and do a full reset of windows that way.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
