Kirk66 Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I'm putting together a mATX rig for DCS, ASUS Z270G with an i7-7700K in a Fractal Design Define Mini C case. Question is how does DCS stress the GPU for heat?, is the FE cooler (with adjusted fan profile; screw the noise) sufficient? Not interested in water cooling, will be using a Noctua NH-D15S for the CPU, and upgrading the case fans to appropriate Noctua PWMs. I might do a mild overclock, but nothing extreme. Thanks in advance, Vulture
StandingCow Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 As long as you don't have an issue with noise the FE cooler is fine, the worst that will happen is it throttles a bit due to heat. I would seriously suggest (since the case seems roomy enough and you mentioned an OC) going with an aftermarket card like the MSI one if you want to go with air cooled. If you want a CLC then there are a few options as well. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
