It's definitely a little more work to install (some cases make it easier than others) but it's one of those things... you only have to do it once so not a biggie.

After spending hours trying to find a low profile fan suitable for the i9-10900k, I'm going to take Fish's excellent advice and just buy a tower that will fit on a rack shelf, which shouldn't be difficult to find. I don't know what's happened since my last computer build in 2015 but back then, finding aftermarket cooling fans that could fit in a server case wasn't even an issue but I suspect it has something to due with the heat generated by this latest generation of chip. |

Regarding i9-10900K vs i9-10850K, I don't think it really makes any difference. They are exactly identical CPUs. The only difference is 0.1 Ghz difference in max Turbo boost. That's not going to result in any discernable thermal difference over time. Especially with decent airflow and cooling. I'm not a fan of AIO at all. Overpriced and unnecessary. I think you can get ~95% as good of temps with a reasonably priced air cooler. Especially if you use quality thermal paste and apply it correctly. AIO failure can be pretty catastrophic too compared to normal air cooled CPU fan. But it sure looks cool.

Yeah, the guys on the pro audio forums are stating the same thing about the 10850k vs. 10900k, so I'll just go that route. The recommended cooling fan is the Noctua D15s, which will definitely fit in a normal ATX case. Speaking of cases, all I need is a quiet mid-tower. I don't require glass or anything similar since it will be racked up and not visible. I see lots of Fractal Designs recommendations but in doing some research, the BeQuiet! Pure Base 500DX and 600 appear that they'd fit the bill, as does the Corsair 4000D. Does anyone have any other quiet case recommendations or cases to avoid? Thanks again, guys! |

I would just look for a decent cheap full ATX case that allows for ~6 120mm case fans, and spend your money on 6 low decibel high CFM case fans(ideally 3 front, 2 top, and 1 rear fan). The Noctuas are some of the best in both regards for low noise and high CFM. But you have to find a balance. I would highly recommend the mesh type cases as that increases the overall airflow quite a bit. Just get a solid one. If you do order your fans separately, be sure to install them with the airflow intended to pull air in from the front, and push air out the back and top.

Best PC Fans 2021: The Strongest and Quietest Case Fans for Your Gaming PC
Fans come in multiple sizes. 120mm is the most common, but they also come in 80/140/200/etc. The case you choose should indicate exactly what case fans are compatible in the front/top/back.

I guess these new chips run super hot because I have only one fan in my current server case and I've never had any issues with it overheating, even thought it's on generally 12 hours per day, 7 days per week. I'll definitely look for a mesh case, which in I'll be placing that side up on a rack shelf and I'll order as many fans as the case will allow. |

Thanks Pants. I got the mobo assembled and installed today along with the AIO. I had to take the cooler out, turn it the other way to get the hoses to route the way I wanted, but it wasn’t too bad at all.

Just FYI on the Samsung NVMe... their 980 was recently released, and the speed on this thing is simply bonkers. Almost 7000MB/s read speed which is actually almost double the speed of their previous 970 version. Depending on where you buy, the 980 is actually cheaper. If you have the option, get that version. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-500GB.../dp/B08GL575DB

I've got a cart going at Amazon, which for me has been the best source for parts when building computers because they quickly turnaround defective parts. The last two times I've built computers, the motherboards were DOA so while I'll probably shop accessories, I'll stick with Amazon for the motherboard. I'm excited about this hard drive because normally, it takes me about 60 hours to install and authorize my software so maybe this will cut some time from that arduous process. Thanks again! |

Ordered!
The Thunderbolt thing is a bit daunting because I've never used it before and some of these protocols seem weird to me. I'm kinda bummed that all of the parts won't arrive for 2 weeks but hopefully it's worth the wait. Thanks again, guys! |

You really can’t go wrong with Noctua, great coolers and great case fans. You should be very happy with that build
