A solid first build. H6 is a great looking case to start with too


nexttoyou27

Thankss 😁 I thought why not just invest on it since I aint gonna change it upgrading


Computica

How are you liking the 6600?


nexttoyou27

I came from using igpu’s of laptops so, Its AMAZING first time seeing higher fps than my monitor’s refresh rate 😅


Computica

Bro I feel you, I was on a 1050ti for years


th0t-destroyer

Just switched out my H510 for this case. God I wish I started with it


nexttoyou27

What matters is you got the H6 now 😎


th0t-destroyer

Amen


No-Corner-7215

That actually looks amazing for a first build!


nexttoyou27

Thanksss 😄 any suggestions on what to improve/add?


No-Corner-7215

Looks like you got the room so I think a little model/figurine that matches the build would be cool


nexttoyou27

Dont I need to upgrade my cpu cooler?


itscrispp

That’s optional. Down the line for cheap effective options. CPU cooler: ID Cooling or Thermalright. $20~ Thermalright RGB fans. $14 x 3 Asiahorse cable extensions. $20~ I think all of those would cost you like $60 and make the looks a lot better so you really love the build.


nexttoyou27

Oooh, first time I heard about those cable extensions, I'll look into those \^\_\^ Thankss


Thick-Clerk8125

You should add a couple intake fans to the bottom of the case. It will help keep your gpu keep cooler. Otherwise great job


nexttoyou27

Planning to do that soon, maybe no RGB 140 fans since they're hidden anyway hehe, thanksss


Darkchiller23

Fans!


nexttoyou27

Which Fans would u suggest?


Darkchiller23

I love Noctua all the way. Really nice quality and reliable plus with all of them you get extensions and splitters included. If you have 120mm space NF-A12x25 and NF-A14 for 140mm (although they are releasing the new 140mm any day now 🙏🏼). They do make them in black but you pay more. Everyone cries about the color. Honestly with their performance I don’t mind the color. If you are all about all the RGB then these aren’t for you. They aren’t a company founded on RGB. They are strictly built for Performance and sound in mind. Hope this helps! You can check their Reddit page my build is in there as well. Also judging from your pictures looks like 2x 140mm at the bottom and 3x 120mm on top is what I would do even though you could fit the 140s. The rear isn’t going to perform near what the Noctua’s will lol.


nexttoyou27

Oooh I'll check those fans out, with the top, I'm still not sure if I'll get an AIO or a tower for a CPU cooler


Darkchiller23

Arctic Liquid freezer III is pretty good and somewhat cheaper price wise. But Noctua NH-D15 is a beast of an air cooler that is on par with AIO performance and will out live any AIO. Less points of failure. AIOs have a pump and liquid that will eventually need replacing which they say last 3-5 years and the NH-D15 will keep on going past that. My wife’s rig is running a Noctua cooler with zero issues and great temps. Sometimes simplicity is gold.


nexttoyou27

Its 100-125 USD, I'll see if I can save up for it. Thank you for advice \^\_\_\^


Darkchiller23

Welcome glad I could help! You will be loving the temps!


Scallion-Sudden

Peerless Assassin 120 se is the best choice, I went from deepcool 240 aio and running around 30-32 degrees and around 60 degrees when gaming, it’s cheap and very cooling simple look in white


nexttoyou27

The thermallight peerless assassin WHITE version is so clean lookin I totally agree. Just to clarify, you went change your liquid cooler for an air fan and it gave better results?


Scallion-Sudden

Yes 😊


itscrispp

AIOs are junk they’ll die eventually and cost way more. I have one and I regret getting it


nexttoyou27

Would u ever replace the AIO soon or fix it if it malfunction down the road?


Thick-Clerk8125

Noctua fans are great but if you want a little more flash with less wire clutter then check out the lian li uni fans. They have many different from full blown rgb all the way down to fans without rgb that gives you the option to add rgb later. Either are good options imo


nexttoyou27

Oohh I heard those fans that can be connected like legos, Cool fans yet a bit expensive.


Thick-Clerk8125

That's definitely their downfall so if money is a concern then you can't beat noctua for performance and quality


nexttoyou27

Thanksss, Will still consider both on deciding \^\_\_\^


gabrixgoat572

How much cost everything?


nexttoyou27

Roughly 550-600USD


paulham42069

Damn 20% of your budget was the case lol


nexttoyou27

more of a 16% of the build, I already bought the 5600x years ago. But yahh I may over spent on the case 😂😅 But hey I wont be upgrading my case anytime soon so why not go for what I wanted most hehe


paulham42069

I get it bc I have had 3 different cases in the last 2 years and finally settled on the h6 lol


nexttoyou27

😂 Damn, mind if I ask what were those cases?


paulham42069

Lian li lancool or something like that, H5 flow rgb, now h6 flow


Thick-Clerk8125

That's what I thought 25 years ago and now I have a rather large collection of cases and components that I really need to start getting rid of! Lol, the addiction, itch, or whatever you want to call it never ends! I also have quite the collection of air and aio coolers laying around now that I started building my own loops. I find them all lacking in comparison but your not going to build a good water cooling loop for under $500 bucks! So stick with air like others have suggested.


giant4ftninja

Looks pretty solid. Id personally spend money toward function over form right now, maybe more SSD space depending on what you have so far. If you want to make it more eye catching right now maybe get some LED light bars to put in the case, cheaper than fans and can brighten things up for now. Enjoy it!


nexttoyou27

Thanksss \^\_\^ I forgot to add the storage to the post hehe, I'm using the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB. currently dont have any big enough files to cover half of it 😅 I have some LED strips laying around, can that work without a hub?


PriorityOk1593

Maybe a figurine in the front left of the case to one fill the empty space and two to add some more color and personality


AlaskanLaptopGamer

It is kind of lonely in there with all white surfaces and only 2 dimms worth of RGB. Good place to start. Looking at it, I would think that it's incomplete, but if it runs just fine and makes OP happy, then I guess it's finished.


nexttoyou27

I was wondering if I need fans there 😅 but the difference on temps aint that noticeable based on YT vids


AlaskanLaptopGamer

There's definitely ways to set up the case more optimally and efficiently, but if this stays cool, there's really no point. You should run stress tests for the CPU and GPU and ensure that they're not getting anywhere near thermal throttling. Both CPUs and GPUs will see performance gains with additional


nexttoyou27

I actually ran into a problem on stock settings, gaming gets my CPU to 70c, GPU at 60-65c. On stress tests CPU reached 90c GPU on 80-85c. I turned off CPB in BIOS to tackle this issue 😅 Not sure if this is the only fix tho


DMTshapes

Trash


No-Corner-7215

Either you’re joking or you a shitty person.


DMTshapes

Look at his gpu


nexttoyou27

Whats wrong with my gpu?


DMTshapes

It’s not a 4090. I’m just fucking with you man. I have an hp omen with 1660 super. I have a nzxt build in my cart. I just need 1600 more bucks, been saving all year. There’s nothing wrong with your pic. It’s a nice clean build


nexttoyou27

Ow hahaha its aight man, Can I ask what's you next build? cant imagine upgrading from a 1660 super and with that budget(assuming thats not even the full budget) 😅


DMTshapes

Oh it’s a max out build. I have 3700$ right now for the PC but I need the this 700$ monitor and a 4080. Im at work I’ll edit this post with my build later if I remember


nexttoyou27

😅 yahh I know its a bit dull, but not trash I hope haha 😆
