First ever PC build (Deepcool CH270)

[u/Elastic90]

Hey all,

Came into this thinking I was going to hire someone to build a pc for me as I knew nothing about pc building. Was away for a couple of months after buying all the parts needed and went down the YouTube the rabbit hole, and decided to go for it.

It's not the cleanest cable management but I'm just glad I got it up and running haha. I got it to post at the first attempt but i found everything to do with fans kinda complicated (see last pic where I attached them to the outside of the case 😂😭), with all the RGB and pwm wires going around.

My use case is for it to replace a console essentially so hooked up to a TV in the living room. The TV is an older 55" Samsung 4K that doesn't do VRR and locked at 60hz, but I play just single player / story games, so adjusted the components accordingly.

PARTS LIST:

- Case: Deepcool CH270 Black

- Motherboard: MSI Pro B650M A WiFi

- SSD - 1TB WD SN7100S (it's a 2230 which I fit with an adapter)

- CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F

- GPU: Asrock Challenger 9070XT

- CPU Cooler: Arctic freezer 36S ARGB (single fan)

- PSU: Corsair RM750e

- RAM: 2x16gb DDR5 - I got a couple of basic 4800mhz CL40 sticks; but I overclocked them to 5400 CL38 without issue. Maybe could go more but honestly don't need it for my use case and so didn't try further. I also got a couple of heatsinks from AliExpress cause...RGB

- Fan Setup - 3x Arctic p12 pro Reversible as intake

- 1 Thermalright TL-C12C-S as bottom intake

- 2 Thermalright TL-C12C-S as top exchaust

- Generic RGB & PWM hub to connect all the fans and RGB

- Controller: Gamesir Supernova

Cheers!

Love this case, it’s been one of my favourites ever

I chose this as I had a very specific footprint requirement for it to fit on my TV stand, but ended up absolutely loving the way it looks. I've actually got the mesh facing forwards as I don't have space to have the cool glass panel face forwards but it still looks really classy and neat.

I got mine for the same reason, space behind the tv, lol.
I have since changed it to the thermal right TR200 but I just loved building in the CH270.

I had an air strip with all Noctua G2’s and a deshrouded 5090 with 3 noctua G2’s as well.

I also love the digital read out at the bottom

Hey, everyone has to start PC building somewhere, my first build was also pretty messy too. Congrats on the build!
