Have a 3090 currently but am severely bottlenecked. Looking to get the best possible PC that I can build through microcenter in Kansas City. Looking for high end so like 13900k and ddr5 ram. [Reply]
Yeah, that's more than fine actually. Up to 3300 RPM fan and 81 CFM. Better than the Asus I linked, minus ARGB. That fan fucks. Get a bunch of those. [Reply]
might buy a different ram kit but might wait on it as well
I have a 3090 already
That looks sexy. The price on those 980s is ridiculous. I initially went with the Asus TUF z690 motherboard for my last upgrade, but decided for the Prime-A instead for the ease of AI overclocking.
The only thing about your build that I would mention is the case fan RGB. It's got non-addressable RGB, and will not have the capability to connect to the ARGB on your motherboard to control lighting. That might not be a consideration for you at all, but just in case. It has a little remote connected to the fans instead and will not sync with any other lighting.
I would also recommend adding some additional case fans. Especially in the top of the case if you're not installing a radiator there. It makes a big difference in overall temps.
Note the ~12:50 point where he talks about thermals:
Regardless, that system should beast. Good luck! [Reply]
I'm not completely sold on the case, they just don't have a whole lot of full towers. I personally like the full towers have had them for my last two builds. [Reply]

It's one of the coolest looking cases available for sure. I love the all glass panel look while still allowing airflow. But I think it would require some additional case fans to really make the airflow work. And if you removed the top glass panel, it would probably drop your temps by 20 degrees with upper fans.
I agree with full sized towers. Having a cramped case is a frustrating PIA to work with, and really shits on your air flow potential. [Reply]

How old is your full tower? I have an old ass NZXT full tower and it's smaller than the Lian Li Lancool III mid tower I got. [Reply]

Migrated old hard drives. Probably get another 4 TB down the road to fit into that other slot, once prices on SSDs drop.
Oh wait, we need A FUCKING VIDEO CARD.
Awwww shit yeah son. So large she needs 8+8+6 pin power connector. :-) Added two more case fans for good measure. Check out that tiny penis of an OTA Video Capture card underneath the 3070 Ti :-)
Upon a sober look... I would recommend putting another exhaust fan in that top left corner. That's an important thermal point. For only $9/fan, it would lower temps if you put another exhaust fan there. Heat rises, and there will be a lot of heat at that location. At the least, I would move the upper current fan to the back corner placement instead. But dual fans there would be an improvement. That upper case fan should be exhaust as well, I can't tell from the pic. And your lower front fan is backwards. :-). Turn that shit around. All front fans should be intake. You've got your front fans fighting each other in that pic. The 4-bar brace point of the fan indicates air flow direction.
