Great Build Ryan! The Alderlake CPUs really seem to have had an impact on the custom PC building landscape. I'll be quite interested to see how 12th gen CPUs perform with workloads utilizing the both the CPU and the iGPU. The build looks and performs great! I wonder if you could buy a memory heatsink kit from Newegg or the bay to jazz up the bare DDR5? I'm a fan of the be quiet! lifestyle as well - running the Dark Base 700, 360mm Pure Loop AIO, and the Straight Power 11 (750w) PSU in my main gaming and editing rig (3900XT + RTX 3060Ti). I haven't gotten around to any type of testing yet but, since I noticed your running the case in an inverted orientation with the GPU fans facing up, is that x1 fan above it an intake? I would be pretty curious what x2 120/140mm intake fans could do for a GPU in this type of setup in terms of reducing temps for a few extra MHz and/or overall sound reduction.
Hey Sam, Thanks a lot! The fan is set to exhaust, which I did think about the fan pressure, which it seems to have about neutral pressure. GPU also runs cool too, never got over 70C. :D
Hey, really nice video. Just wanted to ask if the be quiet! Pure Loop 280mm AIO cooler fits? In the cooler specs it said it supports intel sockets 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 2011, 2011-3 and 2066 but not 1700.

BeQuiet sent out their conversion kit for LGA1700 for the build.

is i5 12400f good?
