ASUS ROG Revival: From Air to AIO on an Intel i9-14900K

Buy Merch to help support the channel! SalemTechsperts.com
A common upgrade in my computer repair shop is improving cooling! Today we have a spicy custom built 900lb ASUS ROG case filled with delightful hardware that we're going to cool with an ASUS ROG RYUJIN III 360.
Along with the actual upgrade, this video also demonstrates the worst part of owning a computer repair shop, which is time constraints. Being rushed with a deadline leads to making stupid mistakes like installing the fans in backwards.

[@SalemTechsperts]

He deserves credit for correcting the mistake though! He honestly did a good job building it. I'm jealous of his components

[@GSBarlev]

When I saw it was a Noctua, I was honestly surprised he was having issues and thought it must be 💩 case design starving it of airflow. Then he zoomed in and I realized it was just a D12¹ which is only rated for 150W TDP. Like, dude didn't need to go AIO, but he clearly didn't realize just how much power that Intel CPU burns (I hope his PSU, surge protector and circuit breaker are up to spec!). *¹Update after reading the comments:* a _D9???_ I didn't even realize they made them that small!² ²Yes, that's what she said.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

@@GSBarlev I think it was a NH-d9, the 92mm one. great cooler for an ITX build and a 95W tdp processor but comically undersized for this application.

[@Damathacus_]

tbf it's not really his fault. Noctua's own website says that NH-D9L should be totally fine for i9-14900K, and that you should even have "medium" headroom for turbo/overclocking.

Well, at least he got a double tower. In my naivety I initially wanted to get one of the single tower ones for my 5800x build but when I showed my list to some people that know more than me and they told me to get a NH-D15s which is about double the size of the one in the video and it did the job very well even with the single fan.
