What do you chaps think? How should I change this?

[Music Guy123]

Thank you for that, very helpful! I am set on the noctua mainly because of the customer support and the silence of the fans compared to the phanteks. The phanteks are slightly bigger than the noctua though. I have already checked and both my ram and mobo is compatible. I am building a case around the hardware so that isn't a problem. As for the third fan, apparently, they sent the clips free. For the fan, I think the 120mm would be better as someone posted earlier in this thread as ram slots are on both ends of this mobo. Therefore, they have to be the same fans at the ends. My question now is about controlling the CPU fan with the fan controller. Thank you very much for the help.

You can run a controller, but I run mine 100% all the time and can't hear them. They come with 2 resistors if you want to use them, which slow the fans down, but trust me, you won't need them.

 

[Music Guy123]

Oh right, Ok, that is good to know, I probably will run them through the fan controller, sometimes just for maybe late at night browsing or similar low requirement use it would be very nice to keep them very quiet. I can just turn them down a little. How about a third fan, do you recommend it? Thanks for your help, I can't tell you guys how much it is appreciated!

A third fan would help, but just a little. But, however you look at it, cooler is better. But, I would suggest you try them at 100%, You'll be very surprised. I have 5 Noctua's in my case right now, hooked up directly to the PSU. I can hear nothing except my GPU.

Ok, thank you, very helpful! I will start with the stock two on the noctua and then add one afterwards so, my spec is looking like this:

Now, is there anything in that spec that i have missed that I will require to build my pc apart from an anti static wrist band?

The fans included with the NH-D14 SE2011 are PWM fans. With a motherboard that supports PWM, they run at variable speed depending on cooling needs.

I'm running one of the older NH-D14 with a Socket 2011 adapter and non-Noctua PWM fans. They are audible when running at 100%, but quieter than the GPU fan.

Since your case will be custom wood you might consider adding a multi-card reader and a USB 3.0 front panel for two 3.5" bays, very handy.

 

[Music Guy123]

Thanks, I already have a multicard reader that I was going to put in. I hadn't thought about the USB 3 panel though. I'll consider it, I don't know whether I will need it or not! Thanks for the ideas though, much appreciated! So, I have everything I need in that spec to build my pc?

 

[Britton30]

It looks like a complete list. You may need a a pair of pliers, phillips screw driver and a big hammer though.

Haha, thank you! Looks good! Am looking forward to building it!
