I’m just wondering for when I’m ordering should I be choosing the European or UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)? I’m in Ireland.
Thanks in advance.

Also could someone suggest what monitor I should get?
I’ve had my eye on the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD - 49 Inch & the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM 32" 4K 240Hz but I’m not sure what to get yet.
If there’s any suggestions of these or even other ones I’d appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Scott.
Is it ok to change the extra fans to 4 instead of 3? As I'd like to have the case filled with them and it says you can select 4 fans.
Thanks in advance.

Entirely up to yourself mate. Just be warned that more fans = more noise without any actual purpose. You can create too much airflow through the case where it'll just create turbulence. Filling a case with fans isn't a good way of promoting cooling, it needs done with methodology.

I'm sure PCS will set it up as good as they can but it's really only an aesthetic you're getting.

Would you advise 3 or 4?
As I don’t want to make a bad decision on it and you know more about this stuff.

Is it the 5000T you're going for?

I would have a maximum of 3 additional fans personally. If you want they could replace the one at the rear with a link fan to make a total of 4.

You will already have 3 intake fans and one exhaust fan. It's on a glass panel so 3 additional intake fans on the side panel wouldn't be a bad idea. I would have all the intakes set on a lower static speed.

The cooler will be the exhaust fans along with the rear fan acting as exhaust. I would have the static exhaust fan running at a reasonable rate with the cooler fans ramping up and down as required to keep the CPU cool.

Yes it’s the 5000T I’m going for.
Are you saying I should set the speed of them manually when I get the PC or?

Yes, I would set them manually based on accoustics and see where you land.

There's absolutely no point in over-shooting airflow through a case as everything needs some time to soak. Faster air doesn't make any odds if the exchange isn't there. This is what can actually cause increased temperatures.

How will I know what to set them to?
Sorry I’m just not very experienced with this type of stuff.
I’ll stick with the 3 additional fans you originally added then.

You don't. You just set them to a point where you can't hear them, or you can just hear them. The AIO you leave on the standard profile in iCue.

You then game and use the system as you intended to while having a look at the max temps. I would typically use HWMonitor for this.

Once you've put the system through its paces you note the maximum temps. If they are what you would expect (around 80 is absolutely fine) then you're good to go. If they are too high, look to increase the airflow slightly.

Your CPU will never be a problem unless something is wrong so this will not be impacted by the airflow through the case. It's purely the GPU that will get an affect.

This is all part of the fun of setting up a new PC. Learning these processes is fundamental to routine PC usage but it's often missed or misunderstood. You can't just buy a PC and it will be perfect. A PC will be different in every environment so it needs tuned to yours.

This! So this, absolutely perfectly put.

Just to add. Don't have fear about using the system. There are many safeguards in place now to stop anything harmful from happening. I get that this process may appear daunting but it's not catastrophically important to get right. It's complete trial and error, with no consequences to worry about on a functioning system.

It's not life or death, it's just a bit of tuning to get it perfect for you :)
