I’d suggest switching to an air cooler or maybe a budget AIO if aesthetics matter to you more. Also, consider getting CL30 RAM instead of CL36 if it’s not too much more costly. You could save a bit with a cheaper SSD like the Teamgroup MP44L unless you really need the Samsung for specific tasks.
Interesting! Do you think the CPU would handle just an air cooler? I'll check out the RAM performance differences and SSD options. Thanks!
