Hi

Ok, my mb has failed so here’s what I’m putting together with some existing components.

I already have:

970 Evo plus NVMe 1TB
MSI 850 PSU
2070 Super

New stuff:

5900x
Ram 3600 32gb…. to be decided
ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero
Noctua 15D


My current case is a. Cooler Master Cosmos S. Great case and still going strong but the Noctua 15D I believe won’t fit so I’m either going to get:

1. Corsair 780T or
2. Thermaltake X71

At the moment I’m siding towards the Corsair as it’s wider.

Any comments/advice appreciated especially re air cooler and ram clearance etc.

oh any ideas for decent surge protection?

cheers
S

Hi
I was trying to get a full tower with a couple of 5.25” bays at the front. A lot of the new cases it seems have done away with these bays. There’s a few newer ones I do like but I can’t add my bd drive or card reader.

I might have to go for low profile rams.

I must admit at one point I was thinking of getting OC to build me a 5900x rig but ask them to omit the components I have …psu, Gpu. Maybe that’s a better way to go.

Hi

I do like the 750D and it's on my shortlist. The reason why I thought the 780T would be better is because its wider and I need to fit a noctua 15d in.

On the motherboard, I believe using 2 x M2 nvme will disable one or two data ports. I need to look into that a bit more.

Cheers for help

This is what I’m considering, yes more pricey but I won’t be building again for 5-7 years
