I wouldn't say they are noisy, hardly hear mine, as far as maintenance on an AIO, just blow the case filters out once in a while, and that's about it as they are a sealed unit and shouldn't be confused with a custom liquid cooling system, which is a totally different beast

That seems very good lol

Which cpu would it cool by the way

two cpus I'm looking at are

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5

Or

AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12 Core CPU (4.0GHz-5.4GHz/76MB CACHE/AM5)

This is not how this works, the cooler fits the processor, you can’t just fit any cooler, it has to be powerful enough for the processor it’s cooling.

We’re onto our third build now, this is why the very first question we ask is for your maximum budget as well as other things so that we know the requirements set by you to design a system within.

Your max budget doesn’t change, it’s a fixed ceiling you can’t go above, it’s not dependent on ‘how cheap can you make it’.

If you let us know a maximum budget we can have one last stab at designing something.

No, it’s the larger AK620, which has 2x the fans/cooling fins.

Also I am using Adobe premiere pro but I get the software to render using the nvidia coded so that it uses the gpu to render then

And I will be recording in 1440p using obs studio again nvidia codec

The max budget I was not sure about as the company I'm getting a refund from did not agree to a full refund until today

Max ideally I want to pay is

2,100 in a ideal world

The pc needs to be able to record in 1440p & I will be using Adobe premiere pro to edit the videos in 1440p

So you say 90% which is fine

What on this build is holding it back and would it cost a lot more I'm guessing to get it 100%

The 64GB of RAM just, but that can be added as and when needed

I only included 32GB because that's all PCS offer at the speed you need for now, I wouldn't drop to 5600Mhz for more RAM because that would hurt the CPU performance. Better to have 32GB of 6000Mhz than 64 GB of 5600Mhz because you can always add more 6000Mhz RAM later

Re the RAM, its approx £101 plus postage for the extra RAM, but if you want to add it now, call them when ordering and ask them to add it.

I know as I just "upgraded" mine to 64gb, waiting for the sticks to arrive :D

Ok so just to check this will do exactly what I need it to do and only thing I will need to upgrade would be the ram down the line
