Hello everyone,
I'm getting back to PC gaming after 10 long years (or even more). This is what I'm thinking of: https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/saved/5610223
I would love to hear your thoughts about this system. I have no idea if the air flow and the CPU cooling system is good enough? I'm worried about the noise and overheating. Is it better to stick with Intel? or maybe cheaper AMD? I'm just playing games in 1140p a bit of everything. TIA!

Go for this bad boy

I 100% vouch for that build! ^^

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

Sweet! thanks for that. Any specific reason to go for this CPU?

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

Its alot faster than a 12700K for gaming, on par with a 13900k/14900k I think

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

lilac sigil Sweet! thanks for that. Any specific reason to go for this CPU?

Is the best CPU for gaming on market at the moment

#

Plus the 4080 will be a absolute beast at 1440p and 4k

#

I have 4080 running at 1440p and no issues, max settings all games excluding competitive one

#

Yours is a bit better in terms of gaming because of the CPU as I have Intel

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:09 PM

#

Thanks for explaining. That make a lot of sense! Appreciated. Is this case a batter choice than Be Quiet Pure Base 500FX Gaming Case I was going for? Ahhhh.... I think I will be ordering my system in a few days! can't wait. Also need to think about my monitor. I'm curretly using iiyama G-Master GB3467WQSU-B5

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

lilac sigil Thanks for explaining. That make a lot of sense! Appreciated. Is this case a bat...

For airflow, yeah I assume so

#

For looks, your opinion - they are both class

#

Thats a fine monitor for this system

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:14 PM

#

lilac sigil Thanks for explaining. That make a lot of sense! Appreciated. Is this case a bat...

You can go for Be Quiet case but this one is a bit better, have 2x big chunky fans at front

#

And you will be able to controlled it with Lian Li software since you have AIO

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:14 PM

#

Sadly not unfortunately

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:14 PM

No?

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:15 PM

#

The front fans aren't controllable with Lconnect, you have to use your motherboard software

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:15 PM

I'm not familiar with L-Connect, but still good case

Can't comment, have the big brother, the Evo XL

Thats a lovely case

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:18 PM

I'm thinking to change all the fans to the new one from Corsair but too expensive KEKW waiting for them to die first

Might be waiting awhile then kek

Okay you are not like me then KEKW

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:20 PM

The Lancool 216 is the most unoffending case ever (It should look good for whatever you like, unless you have a planned aesthetic )

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:20 PM

This is the fat boy

#

Yeah the 216 will be great

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:20 PM

what about the noise?

Not really hear it, I have headset

echo sage Not really hear it, I have headset

fair enough 😄

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:21 PM

#

Just to clear it up, you may be thinking more fans = more noise?

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:21 PM

#

Can be noisy while playing games but while doing normal stuff is quiet

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:22 PM

warm rain Just to clear it up, you may be thinking more fans = more noise?

yeah... am I wrong?

Just with YT open and discord

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @lilac sigil, you levelled up to 1! :tada:

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:22 PM

#

lilac sigil yeah... am I wrong?

Yeah, actually, the more fans you have the chances are it will be quieter since lower temps

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:23 PM

#

lilac sigil yeah... am I wrong?

More fans -> better cooling and airflow -> lower temps

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:23 PM

#

you will only hear the loudest fan in most cases

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:23 PM

#

But honestly with headset you won't hear anything

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:24 PM

#

So to wrap it all up, out of these builds, which one you leaning to?

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:24 PM

#

kindred oyster

This would be my preferred build, has a nice case with good airflow, 7800x3d, 4080S and everything else is just very solid

#

However, I have to say the 216 gets very loud untuned, I would ask CPUK to tune the front fans for you (even idle those things go crazy, they push so much air!)

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

warm rain This would be my preferred build, has a nice case with good airflow, 7800x3d, 40...

Agreed. It has to be this one. But maybe different case... you just opened my eyes so would need to think about it

Performance GPU - better cooling system and a nice design

#

But that's totally up to you

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

warm rain However, I have to say the 216 gets very loud untuned, I would ask CPUK to tune ...

you mean in BIOS? I remeber that was quite stright forward to change it? but.... it was long long time ago...

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

Yeah, its easy enough

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:31 PM

echo sage Performance GPU - better cooling system and a nice design

is this actually better cooling system? do you know the difference in Celsius?

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

lilac sigil is this actually better cooling system? do you know the difference in Celsius?

It is, and looks a bit better not that chunky. Difference is depending on games

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-4080-16GB-GAMING-X-SLIM you can have a little look at it

#

For a slim card, it looks quite beefy tbf kek , I think it will do better by a tad, no performance gain however

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

You don't get performance but get the better cooling system

warm rain Apr 25, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

Yeah, quieter aswell I believe

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

And for £50 my opinion is a go

#

My Suprim is very quiet. I played Cyberpunk at max settings and never goes over 60-65

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

echo sage And for £50 my opinion is a go

agreed.

echo sage Apr 25, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

So yours will be similar

#

As you can see the one I have chosen to you have some opening on the top, not like the previous one which helps a lot

lilac sigil Apr 25, 2024, 7:37 PM

true, true. so we have a winner then 😄 thanks a lot, much appreciated
