What heat-sink do you think would be good? Air please.

would you change much? if anything
 
750D but i will not being using it.

Will keep the current build in the 750D

not sure what to grab for new one, if you could suggest some be good.
 
I cant think of any other cases, cannot see why you would want to change from a 750D to be honest.

As for heatsinks you will want something massive,

YOUR BASKET
1 x Noctua NH-D15 Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler with two NH-A15 Fans £72.90
1 x Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler - Black £69.98
1 x Silverstone Heligon SST-HE01 CPU Cooler £44.99
Total : £197.47 (includes shipping : £8.00).




the Noctua fits the X99 Deluxe and X99-A - http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products_id=68&lng=en#LGA2011-3_Asus and they look the same as the one you want.
 
funny enough i have the phankteks atm but it bugs me as cant get to ram however noctua should be able to

Will you even need that high spec a psu? Im running 2x 980s and a 4790k currently of 850w as well and thats plenty!
 
 
thinking going quad ;) sop like a bit more juice in the tank

but 120 is just for os but might just bump it to a 500GB
 
As for the air cooler, i feel its a bit of a shame having a HUGELY Overclockable CPU but not having the cooler to allow it. You won't go far with that noctua. That cooler is designed for silence not sheer performance. The way to get a Big OC and access to RAM is by getting a AIO/CLC (or watercooling). Otherwise get a TC14PE or D14/D15 and just live with not being able to get to your RAM.
 
well the noctua i linked has been used by jayfrom Asus got 4.5ghz on a 5930k with good temp at load (youtube videos) thought it would be good enough

might reconsider soon loking at case alternatives from 750D atm

am i missing anything? seem like i am? (dont need case or os)
