I have built the following setup for my son consisting of:
ASUS Prime B550M-A WIFI II Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU with Wraith Stealth Fan
Gigabyte Radeon RX7800XT GPU
Built inside a Cooler Master TD500 Mesh V2
OS Windows 11 Home
It has a fair amount of room, but my son is starting to notice that games he plays are not holding high FPS ranges like when he first had it built in Dec 23... games like Fortnite, Call of Duty Rainbow Six, Battlefield etc.
Apart from a little bit of dust build-up covering the mesh screen, which I have cleared, I cannot see any issues, but I have noticed the CPU seems to be getting a bit hot.
I am now planning on upgrading to an AIO but need to ensure the one I buy is compatible with the BIOS (apparently)
I have reached out to ASUS and they were so helpful NOT!! other than informing that it need to be compatible with Aura Sync and use a 3 pin ARGB connector.
Ideally, I have been looking at the ROG Strix LC III ARGB LCD as we like the look of the LCD and the overal look of the cooler, but will this work or am I looking at a model too new. I was thinking of spending around £180 GBP.
