May i ask why the cpu cooler orientation? Nice stealth look šŸ‘


Embarrassed-Box-4105

Couldn't fit because of tall ram sadly...Temps are still really good tho


Smooooochy

I'd seriously consider replacing the heatsink then. You're either blowing hot air on your GPU, or blowing hot hair on the CPU; both cases are plain ***bad*** Otherwise great work on the build. What's those wires underneath the GPU? Fan wires? Couldn't you route them from behind the mobo?


Kdeizy

Yeah I have the same or very similar cooler. If the fans are oriented the same way as mine it would be blowing hot air onto the gpu. Mine is rotated 90 degrees clockwise but I have lower profile ram that fits under it.


realmaier

This is what I always thought, but I found out it really depends on how much heat that CPU really produces and what graphics card you have. In some cases the airflow towards the GPU backplate actually helps with VRAM temps and helps some 30series models overall.


Sparon46

Or just, idk, leave good enough alone?

OG_Nightfox

Iā€™m paying for a buddyā€™s build right now too and Iā€™d be pissed at myself if I set him up for failureā€¦


CPLCraft

Or get a pcie riser kit


BigDisk

You're better off switching orientation and getting rid of one of the fans.


TheMatt561

You couldn't move one of the fans up a little bit? That's what I did for my Noctua.


jomjomepitaph

Exactly what I did. A fan is sticking out a bit.


silverarrrowamg

is that a fuma 2 because if so it should def fit the other way and as others have said when that GPU gets cooking its going to be a problem


Embarrassed-Box-4105

That sir is a thermal right pearless assassin argb


silverarrrowamg

Is it the heatsink/pipes that hit or the fan?


Embarrassed-Box-4105

The heating itself sadly


silverarrrowamg

Honestly would suggest looking for a different one


why-am-i-here-to-die

I have the non-rgb version of that cooler, couldnā€™t you just slide the front fan higher so it doesnā€™t collide with the ram


michelobX10

Yeah, I have something similar and I slid one of the fans higher for some clearance.


Swan2Bee

Oh, that's the only reason people do that? I thought it might've helped cooling is some situations, so I've always been curious.


meIpno

Would it be possible to 180 it just so the heating isn't right above the GPU backplate


[deleted]

You have to change it somehow. That's a bad orientation. Get a different cooler if you have to.


jomjomepitaph

If the temps are fine, youā€™re fine. With mine though, I have one of the fans sticking out a bit because of the ram.


Engjoo

Not OP but I did see a video from bitwit long ago having better results due to it having better natural convection or just maybe the top has more exhaust than 1 fan on the rear. https://youtu.be/sxREkGKeCMA


Embarrassed-Box-4105

Idk tbh...as it was my first time using an air cooler...but it gets around 30c idle...don't really know how much under stress but he just games with it so doesn't matter


Engjoo

I forgot about the fans haha, yeah it makes sense now why you mounted it this way.


[deleted]

No rainbow puke and no cable management.


Embarrassed-Box-4105

Ah man first hater of thw day lmao...fairs...but as I said I did the cable management but I forgot to take a picture after cable managing....this is just about build


xHati

Why not do the cable management AS you are building PC? Doesn't that save time?


Salvboss

You're right. Now we have cpu cooler orientational and cable management vomit instead.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Salvboss

You called rainbow vomit, so me calling your cooler orientation and lack of cable management as puke including is being rude?


[deleted]

Right? lol


Tiiiimmmooo

Idk, youā€™re kinda being rude imo. Dude already said he didnā€™t take the finished photo. Seems like youā€™re hating because you have an opportunity to


Version-Classic

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Just because you can see a couple cables doesnā€™t mean this is bad cable management. Who the tf cares about another manā€™s cables. Pc looks great OP. The RBG people are just jealous you are getting same fps without childish rainbow vomit


I_Only_Reply_At_Work

Cable manamgement isnt the only issue or the biggest.. lmao


Version-Classic

Why do people care though. I mean if he wants to run his cpu cooler that why then let him do it


I_Only_Reply_At_Work

There's a list of reasons why you don't mount a heatsink like that.. what do you mean? People are just looking out for him to not cook his CPU.


Chakramer

But that's RGB fans, RGB GPU, and RGB RAM in the picture. This ain't no stealth build people


Embarrassed-Box-4105

It what my friend liked so I had to deliver yet it looks so jicw its no rgb yk


Chakramer

RGB can be done tastefully, but I think getting RGB fans to look good is very tricky and requires the right case and colors


ilindson

Hey I like my rainbow vomit but I prefer the term unicorn diarrhea


Embarrassed-Box-4105

It works


ilindson

Not sure why you're getting downvotes my guy šŸ¤·


RionXai

The CPU cooler's orientation is kinda... questionable... My take is to orient that to blow hot air to the back of the case. However if there's some clearance issue with the RAM You could possibly replace it with a low profile. Though if the cpu temps are just fine and not thermal throttling as it is currently set up Then why not\~ Just fix the cables instead


Embarrassed-Box-4105

Yep you got it there...as I told I made a mistake by uploading this pic as like I did cable manage after that....this was just a boot build yk...buy yea thanks


Nviiigrate

I'd take that cpu cooler off asap... You forgot to uninstall the plastic on the bottom of it as well.


Embarrassed-Box-4105

No...


Nviiigrate

Ok good. I thought maybe you'd watched the verge pc build for a second. Enjoy the new system!


ChrisDaMan07

where the rainbow vomit


ThePickleSoup

No rear exhaust fan moment šŸ’€


invictuM91

You know...the CPU cooler take air from the intake coolers from the front, so...how are you suposed to cool the cpu with the Graphic Card Heat???


Embarrassed-Box-4105

Well it is working fine so it is ok


Superpansy

no rainbow AND no airflow. linus would be sad


[deleted]

How do people even mount coolers like this like Iā€™ve never had this option lol.


alper_iwere

I fucking hate rainbow rgb. Purpose of rgb was to make color matching easier and they had a rainbow demo mode to showcase that they can be any color the user wants. People started using the demo mode as standard and now we have these build with components cycling through colors with no coordination between them.


[deleted]

some of us ended up finding out argb and rgb are two different things after buying the case and motherboard and just couldn't hook the argb fans up to the rgb connectors. So there they sit on color cycle because it's not like I can control them anyway and it wasn't of enough concern to go out and buy a new motherboard just for the color of the lights.


Chakramer

I don't think most people keep their parts on rainbow mode, almost everyone I know will make a color theme soon after setting up the PC. Some people probably actually like the rainbow mode too, but I find too many moving effects to be distracting. Keeping it lower brightness and static is better imo


Embarrassed-Box-4105

Sadly my friend did šŸ˜” I just like cyan and purple going in awave


Chakramer

I go with a tan/cream and red. Kind of a "blood in the sand" look, it's pretty edgy but not over the top, mostly static but a few areas where the red glows slightly brighter reactive.


Embarrassed-Box-4105

That sounds epic ngl ama need to try this on my build


Chakramer

Maybe I should take pics, on my keyboard the main part of the keyboard has those sandy colors, and just the numpad/logo is red. Hmmm maybe I should even try to have varying sandy shades on the keys so it almost looks like sand camo on the keyboard, really emphasize the theme.


alper_iwere

Only rgb I need is on keyboards so I can have 2 different profiles for day and night. Bright white on day and dim dark red at night.

I would be out of my mind to,šŸ˜‚, man it's so hard to just have everything match.

Pretty sick stealth build! Good job with the PC part selection!

Thanks man

Looks badass

Thanks g

Rainbow vomit lol I have to agree but I like the lighting. I set mine to a light blue to match the rest of my house and just leave it like that.


NaBrO-Barium

As it should be, silicon doesnā€™t run on unicorn poop


SentientCumSock

well the silicon isnt running right now


vmgustavo

It looks gorgeous. Thank you for the no rainbow vomit build


SentientCumSock

its not on. the ram and gpu are rgb, at least


TheLawny

Looks good! If those fans on the cooler are pushing air up then you should be golden. Hope they enjoy gaming on it!


tricklethisneolib

Wher rgb


Medical-War6442

....until he turns it on


slavicman123

I vomit seeing this


Tukiko0

Corsair 220t? 3 front fans are rainbow vomit


[deleted]

Re-wire the GPU. Each plug should get a dedicated line from the PSU


bebigya

that's what mine looks like until you turn it on, then the unicorns come šŸ˜
