The PC assembly
If you’re going to use Corsair, then do it properly. I’m installing three additional Corsair RS 120 ARGB fans, a 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL30 RAM kit plus an RGB expansion kit, the Corsair RM 850e power supply, the Nautilus 360 RS AiO and a Commander Duo.
The Intel Core i5-12400F is used as the CPU. It may be a bit old, but with a proper BCLK overclocking, it is given a new lease of life. A Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Windforce is used to accelerate the pixels. The whole thing lands on an MSI MEG Z690 ACE, so we have a nice colorful mix here.
We start with the AiO in the first chamber on the front. To do this, it is essential to remove the air duct.
The frame is removed, the radiator and fan are screwed to the frame, the hose connections point upwards. It is important that you also remove the air duct, otherwise it will be difficult to install the AiO.
Another tip: Please install the fan and radiator all the way down, as shown by the slotted holes in the frame. Otherwise you will have a problem with the hoses in connection with the plastic part of the air duct. Next, I install the three RS 120 fans at the top. To do this, you have to remove the top cover and remove the frame, loosen a screw, then fit the fans and replace the frame.
Next comes the power supply unit and Commander Duo. This can be installed quite easily in the second chamber, which offers plenty of space for cable management.
It already looks quite clean. To get to the point: The Corsair Air 5400 is the best I’ve seen in terms of cable management. Now the prepared mainboard is placed in the case, the pump head on the CPU and all cables are connected. As the mainboard is slightly wider than a standard ATX board, I had to remove the GPU support, otherwise the mainboard wouldn’t have fitted in. You should know that.
Basically, all that’s missing now is the GPU, so I put it in.
As soon as the graphics card is installed, you can put all the air ducts back in and you’re basically done. It looks really good, doesn’t it? Imagine if a BTF board and a BTF GPU were installed here, then no cables would be visible at the front.
Cable management has never been so easy. Now that everything is installed, it’s time to switch on the PC and get it ready for operation, install Windows and make various BIOS settings.
The lights are on, Windows is running and I have overclocked the CPU to a stable 5040 MHz using BCLK-OC. It’s time for a few tests and maximum stress. What do the temperatures and noise levels say?
