The GPU vertical mount I won’t be using it. Probably in future. I’m buying it now because these things gets out of stock and takes time to be in stock again. I will put it once I have the AIO cooler. Maybe next year.

First check if it supports pcie4.0 first, most only do 3.0

Thank you for the information. Will the Wraith work?

What other cooler would you recommend that can work with that memory?

Pretty much any single tower cooler like the hyper 212x, Wraith will work but won't recommend it. Go with at least hyper 212x or the phanteks single tower cooler.

Not the hyper 212x but about the same cooler. https://www.takealot.com/cooler-master-hyper-h212-led-turbo-addressable-rgb-cooler/PLID73022495

Also important what do you want to spend on cooler?

I wanted to go for AIO but at the moment I don’t have a good budget for that. Hence I wanted to use the wraith for the next two months until I get the AIO.

The wraith will be good enough. What you can do for now is use ECO mode to limit performance until you get the AIO.

I would suggest at least a 240mm AIO. I'm currently on a fractal design S36 360mm aio 5800x and working very well. Yes cpu can go to 80-90C when doing cinebench but it's boosting to 4.8-4.9GHz all cores. In gaming it tops out at 65C average is below 60C. So very happy with the cooler but if I would buy again I would go with the following

it has a newer asetek pump than the s36 and at the time I purchased my 5800x was a bit more expensive.

This looks very good and affordable but isn’t there an ARGB version of it?

The 360 looks like the plug . Thanks. Much appreciated.

I hope it can push me for the next few years.

Oh when you get it please mount at the top and not in the front. Mount it on top as exhaust.
 
IMG_20210913_195013.jpgThe new PC is humming along nicely. Everything is so much faster compared to my i5 7500 setup. I popped on the h212 quite easily.

I'm going to order a 120mm fan for the back this week. I'll also be plugging in my 240gb SSD.

Ideally you'll want cool air being pulled through the radiator fins, not hot air pushed through them.

If you mount as front intake then you don't give your gpu fresh air and heat soaked so gpu will run hotter. But if you not going to use the gpu much then front mounted is probably fine but will still suggest top as exhaust with better fans in front as intake. With my 3x fans front intake, 1x back exhaust, 1x bottom intake my gpu never exceeds 65C even when using furmark or any stress test or play any demanding game. CPU is under control.

I would much rather have my gpu, VRM etc run cooler than my cpu run cooler as it's still just fine and will get more performance on my 3080ti.
 
For the last time guys, I need your input between those two RAMs, which one do you recommend? There is about R750 difference between the two, is it really worth it paying that R750 for the 3600 RAM?

I'm like 99% sure it's the same memory underneath...G.Skill would have loosened the timings a tiny bit to get the higher frequency on the 3600 kit (16-18-18-38 vs 16-19-19-39). I'd guess it's Hynix CJR (though the 3200 might be very bad b-die or AFR or Micron even - CL16 3200 is an entry-level bin, you could get anything though G.Skill stick to CJR for their sub-3800 kits). Maybe hit Google and see what people say...you might be able to save yourself some money and just change the frequency and timings on the cheaper kit.

Are you feeling lucky?

So I go for 3200? You are speaking Japanese to me.
