Air-cooled, nothing special. I travel a lot and want my pc to be reliable, quiet and low-maintenance, hence 'super generic' - though I guess it won't hurt to keep a log. WIP. Preparations Build Log

Sorry if this comes too late, I hope this information is still helpful, and I'd love to know how your setup fares comparing to mine. I did some simple and not-so-rigorous testing with the two coolers I had in hand - I got the new Big Shuriken 3 as soon as it's available in my region - with my...

I'm pretty sure the Asrock Z390 Phantom Gaming itx/ac is NOT compatible with the NH-L12S in a LZ7, it doesn't matter which CPU you use, the MoBo heatsink will get in the way of the Noctua cooler's NF-A12x15 fan in low profile mode. I suspect the reason Noctua list it as compatible is if you...
