Would this design work well?
I understand the graphics card isn't ideal with this CPU, but I still need the CPU for programming. The BIOS update shouldn't be an issue for me.
The PC will mainly be used for programming, with some gaming at 1080P (CS2, LoL, and a few AAA titles).
My main concern is whether it can last 3-4 years.
Also, do I need adapters or splitters for the fans or the RGB?
Thanks, but if the setup includes four fans and three for the AIO, does that mean it doesn’t require a splitter? Or can it be connected in a daisy chain? (Apologies, I haven’t worked with RGB fans before)
If this pertains to gaming, consider evaluating the 7800X3D or 7700 with 32GB of RAM to optimize your graphics card selection. Where will you acquire your CPU?
AIO fans motors and pump connect to the CPU_FAN header, they are already daisy chained, and their RGB leads also connect to one of the RGB headers on MB. For case fan motors there are 6 PWM (4 pin) headers, providing ample connectors for chassis fans—three can be assigned to one header and the fourth to another.
The X3D processors are designed for gaming purposes. If you have additional projects, the R9-7900x might perform better. I could be concerned about the MSI aio. It appears to have encountered some problems. Search for "msi mag coreliquid e360 issues". Regarding durability, aio coolers aren't permanent. The mechanical pump will eventually stop working or become blocked. Air can get into the tubes and force the unit to be replaced. A typical lifespan is around five years. Noctua keeps a selection of appropriate air coolers. Here is the list for an R9-7900X: https://ncc.noctua.at/cpus/model/AMD-Ryzen-9-7900X-1635. NH-D15s, for instance, would be suitable.
I've heard about the "problems," but MSI mentioned it's a quality control issue and they gave a full refund, so I'm fine with it. Regarding the AIO lifespan, I understand it's usually around 5 years, which is good for me. I also read that generally AIOs last longer than that.
If you aim for a Pcie 5.0 SSD in three to four years, consider a motherboard that accommodates Pcie 5.0 M.2. The Tomahawk offers decent performance but lacks support for 5.0 SSDs. Models like Gigabyte Aorus Elite, Asrock Riptide B650E, Asus Strix, and MSI Edge all feature Pcie 5.0 SSD compatibility.
The current SN580 is a cost-effective option. For those willing to invest slightly more, the SN850X or Kingston KC3000 are recommended alternatives.
