Uh what?

changed to 2 drives, 512GB purely for OS, 2TB one for everything else

Doubt the psu needs to be that big either. 850w should be fine
forest orchid
if the windows drive were to die, you wouldnt lose anything on your second drive

Get rid of the corsair cooler and get the pcs frostflow 360

there we go, changed it above

I'd change the 2tb to the p41 too

also got rid of the arctic MX4 paste as the AIO paste will be just fine

It will fit in your budget, but if you really needed the extra storage, a 4TB M.2 SSD will fit in
stable pagoda
I dont care about the storage its fine , i only wanted help with the coolers bro
forest orchid
then the build above will run just fine 🙂
terse rose
No point in buying something that won't work well or is overkill etc
stable pagoda
Yh i just wanna make sure my cpu is cool as possible
forest orchid
iCUE stuff is just 💩 , the frostflow will perform just as good at more than half the cost
terse rose
Corsair icue software is dreadful
cunning sable
You don't need to use iCue. You can just get FanControl and SignalRGB
Whilst the Frostflow and Corsair coolers will perform very similar in cooling a CPU, the Corsair unit is quieter
forest orchid
What builds do you guys have?
I am yet to have a PCS build, for mibu's go and see https://discord.com/channels/690166107616837667/1334525513183793162

When i try click proceed a giant message pops up
Saying to put the radiator on top or front?

Dealers choice...I prefer it on top as heat rises and the fans will serve as a nice exhaust
Works especially well if your case has fans already built int

you want this
the paste theres no need for as the cooler has it pre-applied
stable pagoda
Why the extra memory stuff?
cunning sable
Its only 7 quid
You don't need it if you don't have your PC under constant CPU strain
The coolers come with paste preapplied
Also, up the warranty to silver. Double the peace for only a fiver
I have the Arctix paste for a reason...and I am an outlier
stable pagoda
Storage drive
forest orchid
ah
512GB purely for OS
if that drive dies, you can do a clean install knowing all your games are unharmed on the 2TB
Plus windows takes around 120-150GB of storage so you'd instantly lose out on a decent chunk
Easy to keep it all separate as having windows and games on just a drive will get slow VERY quickly
cunning sable
Listen to Airbus...
It's VERY good practise to have the seperate 0.5TB drive just for your OS
stable pagoda
1st m.2 ssd drive i put it to 512gb
forest orchid
just use the link i sent
terse rose
How about the storage drive
That is the storage drive
stable pagoda
That is the storage drive
Gotcha
Is the air cooler any good?
Im just really worried about the aio cooler liquid thing
But i heard its not good for the 9800x3d
forest orchid
you'll want the aio liquid cooler as itll better dissipate the heat away from the CPU
Air cooled can only do so much before it becomes fully saturated then it becomes less effective
so the liquid AIO is perfect for the 9800X3D
just use the link I sent above, like I said it has everything selected already so theres no faffing about : )
forest orchid
yes the frostflow 360 AIO is good
no but in 90% of the build we help here we recommend that over anything else
I dont have a PCS build myself
stable pagoda
What about the other 10%
forest orchid
thatll be build like mibu with the corsair coolers
honestly its nothing to worry about
forest orchid
not personally no, but even then the 'incidents' tend to be GPU or other related
I wouldnt recommend it if it was a bad product
but again, I don't own a PCS build, however I can tell you for a fact most of the people I have helped or watched others help have had 0 issues
we recommend the frostflow 360 for its good price to performance
stable pagoda
Sure thing man thanks
stable pagoda
@forest orchid does the game that i play control the temperature? For the cpu
Cos i usually play those indie games that are hd2d
Or really chill games
I barely play any intense games
forest orchid
depends on the load from the game
but i'd still stick with what you've got incase you DO move onto intense games
if you want to change the fan speeds once you have the PC, use fancontrol
magic haven
tbh the 9800x3d at stock settings is quite a low power chip, that's one of the selling points of the 9000 series, so cooling shouldnt be a big issue for the most part
forest orchid
the 360 will do just fine
the extra cooling gives it that little bit more in terms of performance as itll take longer for the radiator to become saturated with heat
forest orchid
I personally would've paid the extra for the AIO knowing that for the price of the CPU I'm paying for a quality product which will cool it better
Plus, with it being an air cooler the fins will only hold so much heat until it becomes saturated. Whereas having an AIO the fluid is constantly being pumped around and cooled meaning itll take much longer before it loses its effectiveness. Personally seems like a no brainer to just stick with the build and keep the AIO
See https://discord.com/channels/690166107616837667/1334857711724007434, https://discord.com/channels/690166107616837667/1334952363122888866, https://discord.com/channels/690166107616837667/1330171509242859582 as they all have 9800X3D's in and we've recommended the Frostflow 360 AIO for ALL of them. You'll thank yourself later when you're doing heavy gaming and seeing nice warm temps from the AIO compared to the air cooler which ends up trapping alot of heat

ive seen people have incidents of the aio cooler turning to sludge or leaking
alot more cons of having a aio over a air cooler
also air coolers last for years and are reliable
forest orchid
ive seen people have incidents of the aio cooler turning to sludge or leaking
then they've had defective units, doesnt mean suddenly all AIO's are going to act like that. You might need to check the fluid like once a year but AIOs are definitely more reliable, especially for high-end chips like the 9800X3D
why skimp on a cooler when for £20 more you'll be getting better thermal performance?
plus if something went wrong thats what the 1 year Silver Warranty is for, and PCS would replace it no questions asked

oh fr?
forest orchid
I havent seen a single spec discussion here where we've recommended an air cooler for the 98x3D
forest orchid
oh fr?
if you're worried something may go wrong after a year, simply upgrade to the gold warranty which covers you for 2 years collect and return, 2 yrs parts and 3yrs labour
magic haven
bro might be confusing custom loop liquid cooling with AIO?
forest orchid
you'd find yourself cleaning out the air cooler more often than the AIO
forest orchid
change drive 1 to a 512GB solidigm P44 Pro

i'll stick up for you a bit even if just to add some more confusion: tbh its not such a big deal to have the os on a separate drive, just make sure it has a big enough partition to grow on (e.g. 250 GB min.) and try not to mess around with anything that looks important in your windows settings

Yeah the drive 2tb so thats massiveeee
I highly doubt id ever max it out
river axle
It can happily work on one drive with other stuff, but it is best practice to have Windows on its own drive, means if you need to reinstall then you dont lose anything and you just dont have to worry about the contents of that drive. - and well you dont need a 2TB for that
And again best practice best not to have too much on the windows drive as it does slow things down

Best decision I made was listening to the guys here and having two hard drives one exclusively for windows.
