My build idea and questions

[staynless]

So I am starting my third year of Computer Science and need to upgrade from my laptop badly to a desktop so here is my selection of parts:

 

Case

Vengence C70

 

Motheboard

Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H Socket 1150

 

Processor and Cooling

i7-4770K

Corsair H100i with SP120-PWM High Performace Fans

 

Video card

Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X OC 4GB DDR5 512Bit

 

System Memory

Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 2x8GBDDR3 2400 MHz CL11

 

Storage

SSD Intel 730 Series 240GB

 

Source

Corsair RM Series 1000W

 

My questions are:

 

1.Should I go for AF120 Performance Edition fans for the case or the

AF120 Quiet Edition be enough for the front intake, I like my PC on the silent side.

 

2.Are the SP120-PWM High Performance Fans controllable trough the Corsair LINK software without any Corsair Link Kit, so I can turn the RPM up and down depending on the CPU temp/load ,or do the fans spool up and down by default depending in the CPU temp?

 

Thanks guys for the help!

Hi

 

If you like silence the AF120 Quiet Edition are great fans, move good amount of air but I would definitely go with the AF140 quiet edition which are better, move more air at less db. So wherever you can fit 140's go with that, for the others use the AF120

Front: (x2) 120mm

Top: (x2) 120/140mm

Rear: (x1) 120mm

Bottom: (x2) 120/140mm

Side: (x2) 120/140mm

MId: (x2) 120mm

 

Also what are your uses? Why not go for devil's canyon (i5 4690k) or (i7 4790K)

The i5 would save you some money which could go towards a better psu and I would definitely go for the AX series from corsair which is their flagship psu. Your gpu requires a 750 watt psu so you would be ok with the AX760i or AX860i.

the software isnt enough to control your fans,as luck would have it the corsair link mini has just been released and this will control your fans and provide you with your cooling needs...
