We can get you noisy people together and have a helicopter buildoff over an active volcano and fix that problem for you...

Have you ever been to a Motorhead concert Mussels?

Only the 140mm round ones that fit the 120mm holes

RealNeil · Mar 23, 2017

All of mine are 140mm except the one on the bottom.

i hate that vomit color noctua's have...
@RealNeil that cable management says "Kill us ...Kill us all"

Regards,

RealNeil · Mar 23, 2017

I agree about the cable management being terrible.
This system is not long for this case, so everyone's gonna have to suck it up until I move it to a permanent home.

The two RX480's will not stay with this 6700K, they're earmarked for the 1700X box that I'll build in a few weeks.

Nope. Few bucks extra and you net both better performance and a more 'neutral' coloring

To each their own, but if a brown lil triangle, on a fan's edges alone, with said fan mounted somewhere inside your PC is still an issue?

Your problem lies elsewhere friend

Though as stated, to each their own. We thankfully have enough variety to suite everyone.

RealNeil · Mar 25, 2017

Noctua's beauty lies in their functionality. I don't give a crap what they look like.

If they were pink and a buck less each, I'd buy them! LOL!

I have an i7 4790 (non K) which boosts to 4.0GHz. Do you think I should start saving for a new CPU or is this good enough.

My GPU is GTX 1080.

its good enough, make sure you pair fast ram with it to feed the GPU - i saw some gains going from 1600 to 2400 (i think the sweet spot was 1866-2133, at 4.5GHz)

I really liked my 2600K too but this 6700K is ~very~ civilized.
