New Computer 2017
The build is going well so far. Yay! :D
The Power Supply is in and covered up. I love that PSU cover - it’s one of the main reasons I chose this case. It’s a “Cooler Master MasterBox 5 System Builder Edition MCY–B5S1–KWYN–04″ if anyone wants to know. :-)
The Motherboard is prepared with the processor, memory and NVMe SSD drive. I’ve decided to put the cooler on after the MB is in the case - think it might be easier.
Now for the two fans at the front. I can’t make up my mind which one I like best.
- The top one is a generic brand and looks a bit tacky with that bright red plastic but I like the fact it lights up all the way around the perimeter of the fan. It’s also a 4-pin PWM fan and it shows up nicely through the front cover mesh even when it’s not powered on.
- The bottom one is by Corsair which looks a lot classier but it has four separate lights and is only a 3-pin fan. I already have two of these fans in my current PC and don’t really like the way they light up.
Anyway, I’m going to wait until it’s dark, power them up together and see if I can decide but in the meantime, which one do you like best at first glance?
That’s an excellent case, I always use Cooler Master cases and their CPU fans :) I’ve always gone for the non-windowed cases though, only because my weird, sensitive eyes can’t take the flashing lights from the LED lights on the fans or whatever else is lit up lol. Hm, as for the fans well 4-pin is good, but Corsair is a good brand. But if I had a window case, I’d make the most of it and go for the fan that lights up better - therefore the 4-pin generic brand. And I don’t think it looks tacky at all :)
