Thank you Word Not Allowed.

 

Meanwhile, If I don't plan to overclock for now, perhaps I may go with less expensive and less comprehensive cooler that matches the RAM I chose (I prefer fast RAM anyway). Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Rather than getting the NHD14, get a corsair H100 or H80. I myself am no expert and I managed to easily build my entire setup within a couple of hours.

 

The Corsair manual is very basic so that first time users have no issues during installation. I strongly reccomend getting an H100 or 80 due to the simplicity, aesthetics, and pricepoint.

Hours? :)

 

I remember seeing a video somewhere a guy building a simple computer inside of 10 minutes. That includes CPU inserting.

Well, I had to wire all of the cables behind the motherboard... This took literally 90% of my time during the build..

You don't get a joke from time to time, right? :)

Of course... And how many weeks did you take to build yours? :LMAO:

I highly disagree on the CPU cooling part. No doube the Noctua NH-D14 is very good, but for half the price you get a Scythe Mugen 2, which does exactly the same job, and the temps are exactly the same. Don't believe me?

 

Look:

 

 

 

You see how the Scythe at full load only runs 0.7C hotter than the Noctua? Not worth the extra 30$ IMO. And the H100 only runs 5 degrees colder than both, the big advantage of the H100 is imo that it takes up very few space.

Folks,

 

Again, thanks for your friendly help and support. Perhaps you're absolutely correct and I should overclock. Here is the latest edition of the parts that I''m going to purchase today. Please check for me if the mobo and RAM are good for OC

Thank you

Beautiful. You should OC. I don't know that cooler (aren't there any known brands in the shop where you are buying?), but it should work just fine up to 4.5 or even higher.

Thank you, Word Not Allowed. Next Step - OC, if I'm Lucky

That is not going to be an issue with a 2700K and a good cooling.

Quick question - is Corsair H80 really maintenance free? I mean "free" something like "install, forget and do not touch at all'. I'm not familiar with the idea how liquid cooler works and think that perhaps it needs some maintenance from time to time. I hope I'm wrong.

Looks great! You are going to love the FSX performance!

Yes, I have an H100 and I installed it the day I built my setup and I haven't touched it ever since. It is VERY easy to install.

Hehe, the new corsair lineup isn't liquid cooler like your thinking... It's all self-contained, there's no ongoing maintenance like the professional ones...

 

You put it on and you're good to go. I use the H60 it's great, takes up little space.

 

 

Ryan - What case is that? That is one of neatest, tidiest cases I have ever seen!

Well, other than blowing out the radiator of dust occasionally.
