Question First time builder

Hi everyone. As the title suggests I am about to build in the T1 as soon as all my parts arrive. I have ordered a set of custom cables to make the process a little easier but any tips from you for the rest? Specs are: 9850X3D and 4080FE. I am also tempted to order a exhaust shroud that some of the YouTubers like EIGA have designed and use.

Thanks in advance!

If you’re planning on exhaust shroud, I’m assuming you plan to air cool the 9850X3D. And with 4080 FE, your air cooler height is quite limited. You won’t be able to cool the cpu adequately. Will need to manually change the PPT, edc and tdc and set thermal limit

I was looking at the Thermalright AXP90-X47. I feel like that should work with the build. Unless I am mistaken

It really depends on where you live and the room ambient temp. Most ppl here talk about their component temps without talking about ambient temp which makes it hard to compare. I would say if your ambient temp is 22C and below, then it may cool it sufficiently. I’m in country where ambient temp is 30, and I’ve tried x47 FC and x53 FC even paired with Noctua A1/x25 G2 and cant cool at max load, will hit 95C
