Quick 9800x3d build check

I did think about going back to air cooling, although my office gets warm in the summer, which I figured the AIO would be best suited for.

I'm no longer keeping my custom loop, I cba with it haha
 
Looks good!

Cannot see anything worth changing, what's the PC for? If its just gaming you can save a bit and get 32GB of ram instead
 
All good although at that pricefor the motherboard your in x870 territory so it mite be a look.

The arctic freezer 3 has a thicker radiator 38mm than most other aio which are usually 27mm so make sure you have clearance especially fitting it in the top of your case

Gaming + a bit of work (I'm a software developer). For the sake of 40 quid I'm happy for the overhead.

The 64GB may be handy then for the software development side of things.

This is the ram I got but 32GB for my 9800X3D and its 89.99 so £110 cheaper!

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £89.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

I'm sure all the corsair CL30 stuff I saw was over 110 last night - memory is terribly confusing to shop for!

I guess it's the EXPO bit that's making it cheaper?

£90 off is definitely more significant, will mull that over this morning.

Maybe, I didn't see the other ram for £119!

They look exactly the same apart from the EXPO part and this was what I was looking for when I built my system and its on my motherboards QVL list

Yeah, it's weirdly confusing, it seems identical when you open each version - so I was comparing 119 to 179, which seemed good for the higher amount of ram, but 89 is a real steal!

@mickyflinn any x870 options worth looking at over the tomahawk that are in stock?

Having a quick look at the details the £119 ram is for Intel systems and is XMP which would explain why I never saw it as I was looking purely for EXPO ram
