Running 9800x3d and hellhound 9070xt. 9 total fans, 6 Noctuas and the 3 P12s on the AIO. Looking to see if this setup could help give it decent airflow and help with cooling the PC.

First picture is what I initially was building with, but ended up making a couple of tweaks after a week.

A couple of quick notes: items marked 0 are what I already had. The mobo I snagged for cheap with a BB gift card that brought it down to that price. Took $100 off CPU due to a Visa gift card I had.

I feel like I did pretty well for pricing with consideration to today’s prices, and only had a couple of hiccups building and getting it set up. Welcome any critique or feedback, but overall, I feel pretty proud of myself with this.

Built a PC and had a reaper I snagged from Microcenter for 730. Was already intending to return/exchange for a slightly better one, looking at the pulse. I just happen to see this on Amazon, as I was checking to see if pulse was cheaper (it is btw), and really thinking of buying this. From what I see it’s a 16 pin (or 2 PCIE right?), and obviously is better than the reaper, but is there any reason why this is as discounted for a new unit (nothing says opened/renewed etc)? Also shipped/sold by Amazon, so not a third party from what I can tell.
