I built an RGB gaming PC with a mainstream setup that offers solid performance for both gaming and productivity.

The COUGAR Airface ECO RGB case is a versatile midtower form factor, and it comes with two preinstalled 180mm front fans.

Since the fans are large, they can be a bit louder than 120mm fans but running them at low RPM helps balance airflow and noise, creating a more comfortable environment.

The Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 5070 Ti combo is great for 1440P gaming, and it can also handle 4K gaming at medium settings smoothly.

Thanks to the CPU’s strong multicore performance and the GPU’s 16GB of VRAM, it also works well for creative tasks and productivity.

The temperature test was done using default BIOS settings.

In TDP 65W mode, the cooling is already good enough, so it's fine to lower the fan speed.

However, in TDP 105W mode, air coolers might struggle a bit, so I recommend using a liquid cooler for better results.

The memory used is the TeamGroup TForce VULCANα.

Compared to the regular VULCAN model, the Alpha version is slightly more optimized for AMD systems.

Even though the MHz and CL values are on the lower side, I was really satisfied with its clean and simple design.
