Hi fellas,
Last time I asked for help here was when I built my 2015 PC (which is my current) and its time to get a new one finally.
I have parts that I am already sure about, and others that I need your help and expertise with.
what I've come up with so far :
i7 12700K / KF
Corsair Vengeance 32GB (16GBx2) 5600MHz DDR5
SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1TB M.2 NVMe
ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3070
ASUS STRIX DLX RAID 7.1
FRACTAL DESIGN MESHIFY 2 (regular, not Compact)
parts in question :
Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler - need an expert's opinion on this one as Im not really sure but I know that I want a cooler and not just a "Box" version of the CPU. ( cpu cooler on my current build : Arctic Freezer i30 )
what I need u to help me with :
Decent DDR5 Z690 Motherboard (Preferably Asus , had not such a good experience with Gigabyte) and also I dont know how stable are their boards in the Z690 gen, I only know that Asus does get its praises.
and I actually want to minimize input lag as much as possible, heard known oc'ers say that Gigabyte is questionable for the Z690 gen)
Quality PSU to drive this system well (I usually buy Seasonic and this is my strict preference.)
***a big issue I've had with my current build is coil whine coming out of my microphone as I speak which is directly related to how the GPU is working , if its under heavy load the noise is stronger, if its only slightly working the noise is weaker, idle = almost no noise. I figured its because of how close my Asus Phoebus solo and my GPU are connected to the motherboard. not sure tho, would love your take on this aswell, I wouldn't want to have this microphone whine in my new build aswell.
P.S. The case is also open for debate, as well as the rest of the build, would love recommendations and opinions.
Noise level importance : 5/10
Dont actually plan on OC'ing right away but would love to have the option I guess.
Currently have 2 Noctua fans in their brand new boxes (12mm and 14mm) that will be inserted additionally in the PC if they'll be needed (or if I have space)
Appreciate your help and looking forward to hearing any criticism.
Last question : I've been looking into the ASUS PRIME Z690-P and A boards, what are the differences other than P version not having USB2 ports? (and its a shame).
