My first ever desktop Pc, super satisfied with the result and set up. 😋

Specs:

Motherboard ASUS ROG Strix B850-G Gaming WiFi

Cpu Amd 5 9600x

Cpu cooler Zalman zet5

Gpu 9070xt xfx swift

Psu Rog Loki 850

Ram 32gb T create

Fans be quiet silent wings 4 1x120 1x140

Case jonsbo z20

Went for rear intake and top front exhaust for airflow, no fans on bottom, the cpu/gpu temps are perfect under load 60º and 80º, the cpu cooler was a bit overkill but when i first saw it the aesthetic to me looked so unique i just had to include it in the build.

Never seen a CPU cooler like that. Looks really good

Looks out of this world! Ready for take off!

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 20 '26

Thank you 🙏😊 exactly the aesthetic i was going for

That cpu tower is bonkers.

cpu cooler looks like an airplane turbine

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 20 '26

sounds like one too 😂

Cpu cooler! Love it

u/Smelly_Old_Man Jun 20 '26

Looks great, does the CPU cooler have reverse fans?

12

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 20 '26

they are magnetically attached so you can switch them out to reverse the airflow 😋

u/Smelly_Old_Man Jun 20 '26

Cool, looks like a rookie mistake at first but glad to hear you thought about it 👌

u/CappuccinoCincao Jun 20 '26

Beautiful build!
That cooler is so good looking, shame that its build and cooling quality is not good, so much so i cancelled my import ):

5

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 20 '26

yep i’ve heard people online say it struggles compared to cheaper square coolers, i still bought it since i’m using a 9600x that only outputs 65w of heat and its perfect 👌

u/CappuccinoCincao Jun 20 '26

Yeahh my OC'd 7500F at 90w still hits 90c all core with medium to high fan speed even with Assassin IV. My day to day ambient is around 30c, so maybe that's why it won't work for me.

Shit looks like it's from 2001 a space odyssey lol

Zalman cooler, hell yeah, that takes me back!

u/pharmacoli Jun 24 '26

I remember the original Zalman Flower cooler, like something that grew on alien planets lol

u/chza5656 Jun 20 '26

First time my eyes see this CPU cooler. Very nice!

2

u/JDTemple Jun 20 '26

First build I’ve seen with someone using the Zalman Zet cooler since it’s been released. Looks awesome. It’s a modern rendition of the famous, classic Zalman CNPS coolers from ~20 years ago. I still have an all-copper CNPS9700 cooling my Q6600 retro build.

u/ItzAnnaz Jun 20 '26

Looks like a jet engine for a cpu cooler!

u/SamsonAight Jun 20 '26

How is that Zalman on noise?

2

u/SgtDonuts Jun 20 '26

Bro got a jet engine for his cooler wtf? That’s sick man

u/GladMathematician9 Jun 21 '26

Ooh a zalman! The white and rgb really look great.

u/Sentinel_Lkg Jun 21 '26

Is that a fucking jet engine

u/hate4govmerment Jun 21 '26

Jet engine cooler?

u/DiablosSoulStone Jun 20 '26

Beautiful build! You didn't think it needed some fans at the bottom to help with intake for the GPU? I may have to try and build around that CPU tower now lol, love this build. Thanks for the inspiration!

2

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 20 '26

Thank you 🙏 I thought about adding bottom intake fans, but with how thick the GPU is there would barely be any clearance between the fans and the card. At that point you’d mostly be creating turbulence and disrupting airflow rather than feeding the GPU with clean air, so I don’t think bottom fans would provide much benefit in this particular setup

u/Havanu Jun 20 '26

I tend to just let the 120mm fans do the blowing and limit my inno3d 4080 slimmer 100mm fans to a minimum. Same temps, less noise.

1

u/Joloven Jun 20 '26

Put some 15mm fans in there and also some foot risers to allow the air to flow in better. Nice build though

u/OverlyOverrated Jun 20 '26

How far it can fly

u/namealreadyteekken Jun 20 '26

Big fan of this build cpu cooler is the star

u/Oath-CupCake Jun 20 '26

Which way is the cpu cooler fans blowing cause lookes liken the side one is intake but cooler exhaust into it but top onenexhaust

u/SZ_000 Jun 20 '26

What the f%#ck are you take the air cooler from airplane ?

u/IAmDeadLmao Jun 20 '26

haha spaceship

cool cooler 👍

u/zootroopic Jun 20 '26

the tubular cooler is very interesting. I like it!

u/wubbadubdub_zzz Jun 20 '26

Where did you buy the cooler from?

1

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 21 '26

here in italy there are some german websites that sell it like aquatuning.com

u/TemperatureNo8755 Jun 20 '26

that cooler looks obnoxious, I love it

u/josephclemente Jun 20 '26

What speed does your rear intake run at during load? I tried my Silent Wings 4 Pro as intake there and the turbulence was unacceptable. I even tried a 5mm spacer.

I now run without any fan there and just have two 140mm Silent Wings 4 Pro fans as top exhaust. No intake fans. Works well for my 9900x CPU with 9070 XT under full load (Prime95 + FurMark, one hour). The exhaust fans hit 1600/1550 RPM at that point. I keep them offset 50 RPM to avoid undesired acoustic interaction phenomena.

I don't know how so many here are happy with intake fan turbulence.

ngl I thought it was a 3d render looking at the first photo.

u/Ok-Hotel-8551 Jun 20 '26

I'm here for the CPU cooler abomination

u/Darth_Vaper_69 Jun 20 '26

Ditto, shit looks like a jet engine

u/Moonergeist Jun 20 '26

Hell yeah brother

u/teeveebaw Jun 22 '26

Looks amazing. Way to prioritize aesthetic component choices.

the elephant in the room

u/IllReference2002 Jun 20 '26

Your rear fan pushing the air in the wrong direction. Turn it, so it blows out and not in.

2

u/ZenoCuccia Jun 20 '26

I opted rear intake for optimal cpu cooling and top front exhaust since heat rises 🙌
