![]() Push a little bit more air into the machine than I pull out. Putting two pushing fans on the front and only one pulling on the back I The basic idea: push a little more than I pull It makes air flow through the side vents somewhat unpredictable, but if the case is provided with some overpressure, air should always flow out, or so I hope. At first glance there's a lot of space (and after mounting there's still a lot of empty space left) but the connectors on the mainboard made things a little complicated, so did the length of the card itself, and its 'silent' mode. Gathering dust for years and was almost brand new) Principle of the thing (this case has been.I had three reasons to still use an old style case. (I bought it to use it some day as a server case, yet that never happened.) I had an old case laying around (10+ years I think, Piano black paint, completely perforated front with way too many 5.25 drive slots) and decided to re-use that one. Why the Ryzen 5 1600X? Well, I fooled around a bit with overclocking, and it just wasn't worth the effort, so in the end a regular 1600 would have been sufficient. The newer Ryzen 2600X and relatives are definitely served by some faster memory. Unless you go for 32 GB you're probably best served with 16 GB of 2600 memory, but check the mainboard documentation and the internet what works and what doesn't. Ryor 1500X, which includes a boxed cooler.Honestly, you could save a lot of money with a more economical build, with pretty much the same performance. Faster memory would have served gaming better, but I'm not that much a gamer (got a PS4 for that). The memory definitely is, but I like to program, mess around with virtual machines, and do a little graphical editing that loves to eat up my system's memory. The 1060 is an afterthought, and perhaps overkill. This isn't the cheapest configuration, but it isn't a high end gaming machine either. HDD, SSD, DVD ROM and case were leftovers. Scythe Mugen 5b cooler (single fan version).Time for something new.Įxcept for the AMD64 I've been always on Intel's side, but this time I opted for an AMD build. ![]() I liked that case, but, unfortunately, reboots were becoming complicated affairs, and spontaneous crashes didn't help much either. When my trustworthy Dell XPS710 gave up on me (after ten years of reliable service and starring in a major role in Tabula Rasa) I was devastated. Regardless if you use a new or an old case (as I did) it still is a good idea to pay attention to the airflow in your case. These days I just may build one myself for cost reasons. Once upon a time, long, long ago, I considered it fun. Let me start by saying I do NOT like to build my own PC.
