Forgot to mention case fans. I'm using Akasa Apache 120mm fans in this build.
In my previous build I used Akasa LED fans and, despite only having four of them, it sounded like a hovercraft. I swapped them out for Sharkoon Silent Eagle fans and I cannot speak too highly of them.
That pc is now whisper quiet and is 6c cooler all round.
