Dear folk of the tonymac forum- like so many others I am doing a G5 build.
I want this machine to be pretty functional and fast but no gaming, no overclocking, maybe a little bit of light video editing.
reasonably quiet is desirable too
I have used mostly parts from the buyer's guide :
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite board
i5 9600 processor
Corsair CX550m PSU
Crucial Ballistix RAM 16GB
Samsung SSD
Sapphire RX 580 4G
I have got it to the current state of build shown (memory and graphics card still on their way)
But I have a few specific questions I was wondering if anyone could help with:
1. which back fan should I get (considering cooling and quietness)?
2. do I need any other fans?
3. is there anything wrong with this Intel CPU cooler? should I be getting something else?
4. will it work without doing the front panel cable mod? what are the pros and cons?
Thanks !
