I'm trying to get hold of a Cooler as the last link in the build of a £2800 Ryzen Desktop.

Getting hold of a modular PSU from Corsair was a nightmare as most were Out of Stock. I may have got around that by spending £207 to go for the top 1200w one!.

Now to the Cooler.

There is not a single Corsair cooler available even though the availability on the "Build" page shows 4 available from H60 to H115 Pro. However, as soon as you press Proceed it says they are unavailable with an ETA of mid July or even mid-August.

I am now looking at the Noctua NH U14S as its supposed to be very quiet - the key requirement.

I'm looking for quietness above all and the key kit inside is Ryzen 3800x, AMD Radeon 580 8Gb and 3 SSD's and 1 HDD plus usual bits.

Has anyone got the Noctua and have good or bad experience of it?

Thanks for any info.

I have decided on what I want in my new build here which will be a spend of £2800.

However, I am looking for a 4k monitor (3840 x 2160) not WQHD wide. PCS only have 2 listed, one has poor reviews and the other is unavailable.

Am I allowed to post a question here about other people's advice/choices even though its something I'll not be buying from PCS?

Yes, for a monitor that's fine.

Rather than asking for help with individual parts, if you post your full proposed spec then we can advise. All components depend on other components.

Thanks Spydertracks, will do. Sorry to post the Monitor question in the wrong place - it was 4.04am when I wrote it!

That’s ok, not a problem

£2800 for a 3800X and a 580 sounds a bit off to be honest. Methinks it could do with a re-jig
