The PC arrived today. I'm still waiting for it to warm up cuz it's freezing cold outside. The power supply is from xilance, more exactly xp750rms if I'm not wrong. I'll update how the pc is running after it warms up

Alright, so after some time with the pc, I can just say it's running good. Games on my 1080p 165hz monitor usually run very nice and fast. I like it so far. I need more air flow in the case. With the side panel off, with the gpu on auto fan, it reached about 65 degrees in heaven benchmark. With the panel on, in the same conditions, it reached 80 max. I need some help in choosing some fans, I thought about the be quite silent wings 2, they are about 35 ron so 6-7 dollars. I don't know tho how many will my mb support(asus prime z370p I). Thanks for the help.
Best regards, Artur.

Those or some Arctic F12's, you can get a 5 pack for $30

They have pwm sharing so you shouldnt need a fan hub with them. try not to daisy chain more than 3.
just bought some for 95ron +10 ron shipping so about 22 dollars. I am going to change the exhaust fan cuz its a little unstable and use 3 fans for intake and two fans for outtake. The question is, since I have 2 outtake fans and three places where I could put on of them, do I go one in the back and one on the roof, closer to the front, cuz the cpu cooler would block it if it was in the second position, closer to the back? Btw the case is a aero cool c7p1 non pro, so plastic sidepanel.
Thanks for all the help so far :love:

Me, I would just do the traditional, 1 top upper most rear. 1 back rear. 3 for intake in the front. The CPU cooler wont block anything. As matter of fact it might help more to be closer.

A sure sure, I'll do just that

Btw, working on at least not 10 yo hardware is surprisingly fun. Idk, might try to learn a lot more about pcs and maybe start a pc building store, since here in Romania there are only prebuilds and one single store that actually builds your PCs.

Yep, Ive got an i7 8086k(binned 8700k) with a rtx 2070 in one of my back up rigs and it runs everything I throw at it just fine. Its a great rig.

I should have elaborated. Its probably a bit on the older side being that its 3pin rather than 4pin (pwm). Doesn't mean you wont be able to control the fans tho (if they're 3 pin). It may be connected to a switch on the case somewhere with low, medium and high settings or the like. If not you should still be able to use voltage control via your bios. There's also fancontrol https://getfancontrol.com/
and good old speed fan. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/speedfan.html
