I hate the Lian Li O11 Dynamic 🤣🤣

Pcs’s discount on the Lian Li Lancool 215 blows my mind. I just wish with the Lian Li Lancool II, they would add the mesh version.

Also Phanteks P400A and P500A would be great choices. My favourite cases though are the 4000/5000 cases from Corsair.

I was digging through the catalogue at OClockers, sure I saw some Phanteks cases...
Big benefit is their range of cases is much bigger atm, I think theres supply issues with a lot of the nice cases PCS were regularly stocking which is a shame.

For me, a 5000D airflow with additional fans is the best case. It would make a lot more sense, if Pcs sold 360mm radiators, as that is its main benefit over the 4000D airflow - the fact you can mount the radiator to the roof. If you were to buy a 5000D airflow though, i think they’re like £150 or so and you still need to buy fans

That is a peachy build and spot on across the board.

I’d personally go for the Dynamic Mini and that’s only because I love the smaller form aesthetic. The whole Dynamic range are absolutely fantastic and you, sir, have nailed it 👍

@Ash_ Its up for £140 over there.
Its a shame the airguide fans arent on the market yet, two already in there, two more to finish the front and job done...
They also have the Corsair 4000X RGB case for £110, I know the airflow isnt as good as the D version (youve mentioned in the past about the glass front) but its still a good case

@SpyderTracks hooked me on it when he linked the Midi version, and mentioned the razer edition... beautiful case.
I mean, I know I have a 500D SE, and its stunning... but if I were building a new one for myself now...i'd be very tempted...

I almost went 4000X before i settled on 4000D airflow, it was the fact i have a H150i EC (which has a commander) that swung me to D airflow and the ML fans are more powerful and quiter than the X’s fans.

I am giving my friend my two case fans, for his 4000D airflow (he hates rgb 😆)

Love the 011 series cases, dropped a midi one off earlier in the week for my build (no fans are included in case people were unsure). Think the mini only takes SFX power supplies, not sure if PCS has these as an option so would be worth checking.

This looks great! From memory, the tall RGB RAM with this case means the AIO can't be mounted at the top, which isn't optimal for airflow but having it on the front isn't the end of the world. If you'd rather it on the top (which will give you a more even airflow pattern) then I'd pick the non RGB RAM. Otherwise, looks ready to go!

Someone on the PCS Discord recieved a config similar to yours and had the AIO front mounted, this is what made me assume it won't fit. If you've seen a build with the same parts where the AIO is top mounted, I'd be happily proved wrong, it might have just been the builders choice!

The PCS cooler doesn't have RGB fans, it's just an area on the pump head that's RGB.

But it's not enough for the CPU, it will run for a little while before collapsing under the sustained heat, it's not designed for that processor.

Up until recently they had the H100i Platinum which would have been perfect and has full RGB fans as well as RGB pump header.
Does anyone actually have the frostflow cooler or just making things up? Came with mine and had every intention of changing it but it performs very well. 5800x idles at 30c and mid to high 70s on sustained all core max load. Doesn't budge past this even on stress testing. Actually gets better temps than many other branded AIOs I've seen reviewed with the 5800x and my unmodified CPU bench scores are better than quite a few others I've seen.

Fair enough if people have experience of it but apart from it being a little loud under load its performing very very well.

There has been two people this week on here looking for support for their coolers that have failed in a matter of months both were PCS Frostflows. We're not making it up, they are generic parts so their quality is very hit and miss

No Consistency like the brand name coolers and not much cheaper so it's worth it to pay more on the more reliable coolers

Hi Junior when i select this build this is the conflict report i get
Please note that the radiator from the Corsair Hydro H115i cooler will occupy 2 x 120mm internal fan slots on the roof of your case.

Please therefore note that it may not be possible to install additional case fans and we recommend that you check the fan capacity of your chosen case (by clicking on the case image above) before proceeding. Which made me think it will be a roof Job

It’s not that it performs badly just that they tend to fail quite quickly.
