Nice pick with the Seagate SkyHawk for a homelab setup, solid choice for reliable storage. The ASUS motherboard should handle the Ryzen 9 nicely too.
The Thermalright Assassin X cooler should keep the 9900X under control in a homelab environment, especially with the case's decent airflow.
@anna_loop Thanks! I’m hoping the cooler and case airflow will keep things stable for long-term server use, but I’ll need to monitor temps once it’s up and running.
Make sure to update the BIOS on the ASUS motherboard before installing the Ryzen 9 9900X for optimal compatibility and performance.
@pixelpusher Good reminder about the BIOS update, especially with a new AM5 motherboard and a fresh CPU like the 9900X. It’s always safer to get everything up to date first.
How are you planning to manage noise levels with the Antec C5 ARGB case and the cooler during long-term server operation?
