uuuuuck
First of all I would like to thank everyone in advance for their future help. You are amazing.

So I bought:
- B650 Aorus Elite AX AM5 rev.1.2 ATX/RTL8852CB
- Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12 cores, 24 Thread
- iCUE H150i Elite Capelix XT
- GPU 7900 XTX Red Devil

I have:
- Seasonic Focus Plus 1000W 80 Plus Gold
- be quiet Dark Base Pro 900 Full Tower Gaming Case - Silver

I want:
- a fast gaming RAM that is stable and loves my new motherboard. 4×16 or 2×32 (don't know what's best)

I am interested:
- a new case with excellent airflow and utility.

I am eagerly awaiting your input. Please provide some links with your recommendation

For ram with amd, I'd go 6000C30, I've you're going corsair aio , then maybe the corsair , as will all tie in with ICue. you can save a little going non rgb if you want.
For case, lian li 216 has excellent airflow and can fit the 360mm aio in roof.
Also put the 5000x caser there as again can tie in with the corsair software. It's a lot bigger and I know it has glass, but I have it and airflow is excellent. You can take the side shroud off as well and put another 3 fans vertically so have 6 intake and then again put the aio on roof expelling. Price just gone back up here but still on offer for £156 away..if you do put more fans in you'll have to get a commander core for the extra fan control, as you've gone for the cappelix aio rather than the new ilink one
I've also goa lian li 011d evo case which has great airflow also...you'll need to get more fans though, 3 pulling in from bottom, and 3 from side with your aio in roof expelling again

First of all, thanks for the reply.

I decided to go with your Corsair iCUE recomandation. Do they do full tower? Used to full tower set-up but mid is fine also.

Can you create me a basket with some good quality fans as I would like 6 intake.

Command core(no idea what's that) also and since we going corsair a 64gb ram kit (speed and quality) is important.

Please and thank you

Thank you everyone for replying.

I decided to go for this.

Are the fans the right ones?

Got 2x32 Sticks.

Decided to get a power supply also. So I can send my old set-up to my parents house or I might sell it..

Any other advice?

You might want to read some reviews of Corsair's i8100 gaming PC, since I believe it uses the same case and is full of Corsair bits.

I have read it now. How interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

Can someone create a basket that goes with my capelix with case, fans and new power supply. Needs to be atleast 1000 Wats.

I might have to appologise here...just watching a build in the new corsair 6500 case...got me thinking as it was with a 360mm corsair aio, so looked up the cappellix xt aio you have to check whats in the box, and it comes with a commander core controller in the box. So please don't open the commander pro, and if you haven't actually pulled the trigger on it, hold off for sec. You might be able to wire it all up without the need for the pro. I think the commander core allows 6 rgb and 6 pwr inputs, which will get the 6 intakes sorted...and use the existing connection for the other fans that come with the case...only thing I'm not sure about is the connection on the commander core...the controllers on the rgb hub etc are usb, and you get 2 headers on the mobo..if the commander core attaches via usd and aio usb, you'll be short( so you might need the pro anyway)...but worth having a look first

I am going to hold on opening the comander box then. Sort out the rest first then open the box.

PS: decided to go for 2x32 vengeance icue version. Got it from amazon

You did ask for an update. I finaly got some free time to instal it. It's been years since I've done this and with corsair having no manuals I had to spend time on research.

Took me a good 6 hours. And I still have cable management to do.

Also realised that I hate 120 upfront so I will upgrade to ql140.³
After 5 hours

:cry: That photo brings back memories... a work in progress. I found having the diagram of the mobo open on a tablet or laptop helped a bit, if you have one of those around. you can get that from the asus website..def helphed when plugging in all those little cable bottom right of the mobo

Surprisingly that was the easiest thing. Gigabyte comes with a easy to use plastic doohickey. You only fail if you dont know how to read.
This thing

Now my issue is. I'm decided to use comander pro. Although it was not needed, it looked better that what the case came with:
These ugly things

so just opened the comander pro i got from amazon and it's missing cables.. sigh... wonderfull

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/5000x-build-2021.18937759/ you'll just have to scroll down to see the pic with the cables at back when finished

so on mine used the pro, 1 rgb core and the pwn controller from the case...unscrewed the other rgb controller that looked like **** and used one that came with the fans. so you using the commander core that came with the aio as well as the pro?
Click to expand...
Well I kinda have to. Since there are 10 fans in the case.
Since im returning the comander pro as its missing cables( I don't trust its not faulty at this point since its open box)
I'm thinking of ordering the pro XT. It should fit nicely the rest of my 4 QL fans.

Yes. Looks amazing. And after much, much, much research I found I like this one the most. Plus very nice performance

Looks even more chunky than my old 2080ti oc extreme and that card was not small at all.
