yea i have like 5 fans. 2 in 3 out. but the 3 are smaller ones and the 2 are the 20cm fans

I have 4, 2 front fans(thank god my new PC case doesn't have one of those "cabinets" those should be banned, I'm pretty sure it was a big reason my old PC got so dusty.),1 exhaust fan behind the CPU heatsink, and one CPU heatsink fan on the front. My 7600X is nice and cool.

Also I still don't see the need for an AIO and especially a custom loop cooler with reservoir for gaming, unless you're doing really intensive stuff.

My Pc is build for Gaming so it kinda needs the Power and cooling tho.

Unless you're doing work intensive, you don't really need liquid cooling and it's kind of overkill for just gaming. Even overclocking you only need a good aftermarket air cooler. Yeah the AIO is more efficient, but they usually have a lifetime of 5 years, which is what warranties for. Air coolers you can set and forget, only needing to replace the paste every so often. It'll last as long as your fan does.

There's nothing wrong with having it, it's definitely better than wasting the money and headache on an open custom loop, but still kind of overkill if you're only gaming. not to mention AIOs afaik are still not as reliable as Air coolers. More can go wrong, faulty radiator, pump, etc. Not to mention more work. it's good and efficient, tho, but just don't bother with a custom loop.

I know, I'm saying it's not worth the hassle to get a custom.

I have like.. 2x 20cm Fans at front to push air in, the one at the back (same as i marked yours) to push out and also an AIO (water cooling) to push air out too :D

Expand  

I have the same basically as you on my main gaming PC :fluttershy: with lots of A-RGB fans. Colors go between various shades of dark blue and darker blue.

I may vertically mount my GPU on that one, but I'll do that whenever I want to impulse buy a mount for it. The NZXT one in particular caught my eye, but it sells out so fast. :sealed:

So it turns out I saw it restocked at NZXT's website and bought it right after I posted this. It arrived earlier this week!

But, I will be jumping to AM5 soon so the installation will have to wait for now. There were some deals going on that I couldn't resist and I tried to keep myself under a stricter budget. Something I've never actually done before, surprisingly. :awwthanks:

Oh well. All of the other stuff, I'll just make the most out of by carrying them over. I'll do a clean OS install as well. Why not, right? :fluttershy:
