Can someone help me sanity check my gaming PC spec please?

Why wouldn’t PCS hook the Corsair case fans up to the Corsair controller? That would seem to be the logical way to do it. I have the same case on order with a Corsair AIO and would want them all to be controlled via iCue, especially as iCue can now control the RGB on the ASUS motherboards.

I did wonder if that case came with one, but looking at other sites it does

All mine were set up using the included controller so surprised they haven't done so here.

I found the setting in icue under Commander Pro.

How do I know if the front facing fans are LL or HD etc?

Also the processor fans, which type to I select? LL, HD, or ML Pro?

Does anyone know if I can play 4K games with this config?

Also, I'm currently moving house and can't fit this PC in the new flat so may have to sell it... Anyone know a good price for this? I think it was 1600 for me to buy new.

Nah mate the 1660 is a solid 1080p GPU but that's as far as it would go

The rest of the build is solid though you would just need a 3070 or 3080 in there if you wanted to go to 4K

Why would you sell it. it's a really strong system that probably just needs a GPU upgrade to go to 4K. Whoever specced it did a good job
