New build, some existing parts
-
21-11-2018 09:13PM#1Hi, starting new thread as my previous ramblings were about what route to take, build or buy. You guys have convinced me to build
Using K.O.Kiki's/ Terrorfirmers previous helpful suggestions as a guide, I've put together below list and would appreciate views.
I already have:
I7-7700
250gb M2 ssd with Win10 installed on it (hopefully no reinstall?)
2TB 3.5" hard drive
GTX1080
PLAN TO BUY
be quiet! - SHADOW ROCK LP 51.4 CFM CPU Cooler for £29.
ASRock - Fatal1ty H270 Performance ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (gone to £142 from £78 today on amazon so will have to wait)
BeQuiet PureBase 600 case (for EUR75)
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 CMK16GX4M2B3000C15R for £112
EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply for £78
Missing anything? Better suggestions (I want reasonably quiet/compact case)?
Also, and excuse my ignorance, my broken pc where I got my current parts from had a big black radiator/heatsink??(not sure!) with copper pipes covering the I7-7700 cpu, do I need to use this again in the new pc or is the be Quiet cooler enough?
And do I need extra fans on top of 2 the case comes with?
Appreciate any advice and, if I run into difficulties, whether anyone in Terenure area might be on hand to assist if necessary!0

You wont be able to use this heatsink in your new build as it was proprietary designed for ROG C20. However if you manage this, post some pics - would be nice to see innovative DIY-home-build.
The SHADOW ROCK LP 51.4 CFM CPU Cooler look(and work) great, but see this video to encounter for possible challenges regards RAM/PCIe due to its low profile.

Only thing i agree here is "S1151 mount".TerrorFirmer wrote: »The cooler from the ROG could be re-used as it's most likely still based on a standard S1151 mount but only if you want to, and of course if it fits into the new case you pick out.
This heatsink pipes are so low that RAM is laying flat - won't be easy to outsource MoBo with this layout, if at all, other than original.
Second challenge would be cooling fans - where/how to mount them?
Third - intake/output management.

Yes, Shadow Rock will cool your CPU.podgeandrodge wrote: »But the shadow rock achieves the same aim yes? I'm not trying to save cash here, more just know whether this item is a requirement, if not I couldn't care less about saving it to use
PS:
I have posted to your "power problem" thread some additional info.

That is bundle with heatsink/ROG G20, reusing it might be some challenge.podgeandrodge wrote: »Thanks Smuggler, I have abandoned thoughts of resurrecting the ROG! It's in bits now! p.s. the big double fan (shown in the video you linked), is that any good in a new build or is it proprietary and kaput from my point of view?
