Oh fantastic, well done!

cooler seems to be unavailable now :( any alt? I can use windows from my current pc I think forgot to mention that XD

That’s a shame! The H150i PRO XT is a very similar model to the Capellix, it’s just got less RGB and I believe the pump is slightly weaker pump too, although I’m not 100% sure. That’ll be a comperable cooler.

There’s also a different Capellix that seems to be back in stock on the 1st so you could amend to that once it’s back if you wanted

Yeah, it's very similar to the H150i capellix in cooling capability as it's less long, but wider, so the H150i only ends up being fractionally larger.

it's a great option.
Click to expand...
should I wait for the h150i capellini to restock or get the h115i?

also does anyone know if GIGABYTE M27Q 1440p 170Hz 1ms good? on sale on amazon uk

As above, they're very similar performing coolers.


It's fairly solid, there's a good review here:


Personally, I'm a big fan of the Gigabyte offerings.

Personally for that workload I'd definitely choose the 5900x and Strix board. If you've got the budget that is.

If you placed an order without a GPU there was a box to fill in to let them know which GPU you intended fitting so they could route the appropriate power cables for it, and you must have filled this out as it is a required field

if you want any other cables routing for things such as additional hard drives just drop them a message from the support tab on your account home page, and they will sort it for you, I've asked for this to be done on a system I've ordered and they were more than happy to do it
