Just ordered and a couple questions about order

Well after ********* said by me asking questions they counted (60 questions), they felt I wouldn’t be a good fit. So hello DS.

I got
I9 9900
2080 ti
1 Tb 970m2 OS
4 TB Golden HDD for game storage
280 MM closed loop

I’m worried what is the best case I ordered the white Velox but don’t want white anymore and was hoping I could possibly change to the Lumos instead... I’m a hardcore gamer , but also have a German Shepherd so I felt the lumos May suck his hair in too much but looks enclosed.

Also free shipping is offered but worries about the shipping any luck?

Lol...Welcome to the forum thedemoncowboy!

So you ordered a nice white Velox build, and you are wondering if you should switch to a Lumos case...

Think your dogs hair would get in equally between the two cases if the pc has to go on the floor.   Be less of that hair if it’s up on a desktop, but either way you’ll need to keep your case clean for it to work & game at its best.   Only real difference in cases, aside from obvious glass Lumos aesthetics of the Corsair Crystal Series 575 case, is that in the Velox your motherboard is mounted upside down so your video card is up on top.   The Velox build puts the window on what would normally be the right side....the Lumos on the standard left side but it has glass on 3 sides and on top.

You can always contact DS Cust Service if you want to ask about a case switch...might delay your build a bit.

As to shipping, DS is well known for their impressive heavy duty well packed black & red boxes...but anything can happen in transit...so my advice is to ship the fastest you can afford.

And no, liquid cooling your CPU will better deal with whatever heat your processor generates. The K processors are made to be overclocked, and a Stage 1 overclock is free if you request it.

DS will work with you to the greatest extent possible to deliver what you want in your build. Gotta ask/tell 'em.

The all-in-one cooling solutions are generally trouble free and very good at keeping temps well below where they need to be.

Standard shipping is not much of a crap-shoot. Anything can happen, but that's true of whichever way it's shipped. So you can't assure yourself of better treatment. As stated, the packing is very, very good.

IMHO, that's a nice monitor at a pretty decent price.

In my opinion the custom cooling is a totally needless adventure into the domain of Murphy's Law. (Whatever can go wrong, will.) Just my opinion.

Okay?
