I'm putting together a work computer for someone else, with a ryzen 5 1500x, any pretty cheap cooler that would be sufficient for this? They aren't planning on overclocking, though it might be a possibility. Maybe, probably not.
I am quite new to building PCs, this is one of the first I've made I think. I'll probably just stick with the Scythe Mugen 5, and judging by how you describe it and some reviews I saw, it should work great for what I'm doing. Also, most likely going to try to overclock, don't know much about it, but once I decide to try it out I know there's tons of tutorials online.
hm. Any other liquid CPU cooler that actually has good reviews? ;P I might just stick with the scythe. Just wanted to see if there was something that performed similar but looked better lol.
I'm thinking about using the NZXT Kraken x62 CPU cooler. I'm pretty sure it would perform fine for my build, (I know about the mounting bracket thing) but any thoughts or anything before I decide to go with it instead? It does look quite a bit better too xD
Also, how did you get your AM4 bracket thing from NZXT for the kraken x62, because it's not compatible with the ryzen series. Did you order yours from ebay or something, or did they actually get to you and send you the bracket? I've heard lots of complaints about not getting their bracket or a response from NZXT.
Looks great! I would've went with the Ryzen 7 1700, because it's cheaper and has about the same performance, but whatever fits you. Actually, kind of weird, (I did consider the NZXT x62) but we have very similar PCs. I'm gonna build mine sometime soon. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nKnHD8
Not the prettiest build, but it'll probably get the job done pretty well, GJ :) Also, you can check some youtube videos on cable management for your pc.
Since I'm planning on getting a 1440p and 144hz monitor, not too much super ultra gaming, should I go with the ryzen 7? I'm thinking about it, because it has around the same gaming experience while being very good with rendering and such, and I plan on making YouTube videos.
Nice build :D Though I know you said the pictures aren't great.. but try to like set them up on a stand or something.. make them not so blurry. Also if you're using an iPhone 7 then you can use the portrait setting in the camera
Someone pointed out that the Crucial MX300 275GB 2.5" Solid State Drive is a better value than the ADATA SU800 SSD. Is that right, or opinionated? Which would be better.
Exactly. haha I'm planning on doing 1440p (possibly 4k) gaming, record/streaming with an elgato hd60 pro, and maybe some cinematics. Not total overkill, but a tad bit overkill that's true xD I do like good performance, and right now I'm using a $550 Cyberpowerpc prebuilt so... major upgrade xD
Also, here's a PC that I'm putting together for myself :) (I'm using a different graphics card, I just can't find the one I'm going to buy on here.) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JCqjCy
Also, is watercooling a good option, or should I stick with fans? I've seen tons of videos, and I've decided so far to stick with air/fan type cooling, but I think watercooling looks much better... Would it be a waste/a pain to do?
