Nice.
The HDMI 1.4 on the Dell U2719D will do 60Hz @ 1440p no problem. DP might allow for a little overclock if you're ever inclined. Doubt there's any image quality difference. Only since it's an Nvidia card, double-check that Output Dynamic Range is on "Full" for best image. Nvidia Control Panel > Change Resolution. Think that's the default these days but it wasn't a year or two ago, and might vary depending on driver updates.

MSI fan controller is naff, hated it . rather use a seperate fan controller, even with pwm - cant get better control of fan curves like asus/gigabyte.
massive fan of silent wings! run 9 of them on my Aorus x470 7 board , all set to 80% constant and silent , these are high speed versions too!

The Asrock fan controller is pretty average, as long as I can set a custom curve based on CPU temp I should be OK. I'll probably just do it in the BIOS.
The Noctua Chromax will be here today, looking forward to swapping out these 2 exhaust fans that are constantly running at 1300RPM.
I wasn't keen on using the fan splitter that comes off the Kraken, it relies on using CAM which I'm not a fan of for setting fan curves.

apologies, yoouve got asrock board.
nzxt CAM is a bit of a naff program . too much depends on the software working which is a shame . has gotten a lot better though!
Chromax fans are in, the case is now whisper quiet, thank god 
I may need to adjust it the rear fan because the Noctua cables are pretty chunky and hard to tuck away.
Also added an RGB strip I had from an old build to bring in a little more light.

The GPU is really good, running a stable 2050Mhz (sometimes hits 2085) core and 7000Mhz memory, at 72 degrees.
Already running XMP profile on the memory, I may look at OCing the CPU next.
The annoying thing about the Asrock fan control software is no custom profiles to allow switching. Any recommendations for an alternative software?

All done!
So despite the H200 not supporting officially a 280mm AIO or a 280mm GPU with a rad, both are in and working perfectly.
and on the desk.

how you finding the asrock itx ? pushing it to 5ghz ?
looks so clean! shame the board didn't have rgb down the side like asus/aorus - would have been a nice touch
recommend phanteks halo rings so a little RGB glow for the stock fans you have without being a light fest!

Going to overclock the CPU when I find some time 
What's the recommended 24/7 vcore for this CPU?

So the Pump has a 4 fan splitter coming off of it. I presume that these can work with PWM? The pump itself only connects via 3-pin to the MB. I initially did have it setup to run through CAM for the 2 intake fans but wasn't sure how accurate it was reporting the fan speed.
Considering replacing the stock fans on the X62. Choices at the moment are Corsair ML140 or Noctua NF-P14s redux.

silent wing 3 .
Asetek use HIGH Fin Per Inch rads - so you need high static pressure to push through the rad .
plus you can just run them ay 80-100% max speed default and are silent !

How do they compare against the 2 other high static pressure fans I listed?

Noctua NF-140-Redux PWM 1200 RPM = Static 1.29 , 19.6 dB, 110 m3/h airflow
Silent Wing 3 140 PWM 1000 RPM = Static 1.09, 15.5 dB, 101m3/h airflow
Silent Wing 3 High speed PWM 1600 RPM =Static 2.16 , 28 dB , 131 m3/h airflow (run mine at 80% to be 20dB)
Corsair Is right bang in the Middle! but RGB , But you'd need the rgb controller , which is why I linked the AIO unit over NZXT - personally would rule this one out because of the RGB controller
6 v 3 yr warranty and £14 vs £20

Going to return the Dell 1440p monitor for a 27" LG 4k monitor, mainly because I want to use scaling and get better text display. This will mean I will have to play games using 1440p res on a 4k which I've heard is fine.
I bought the monitor from a competitor and I'm within 14 days, does anyone know what my options would be?
Edit:
Just spotted 2 stuck pixels so that will give me a clear RMA route.

RMA has been accepted and courier being arranged. Just waiting for confirmation that a refund is OK then I think I'll be ordering an LG 27UK650 4k monitor.

overkill for rtx 2060 but gaming at 1440p with G-sync enabled would be sweet!
