If you want to run fans at near 800-900 rpm, you can get away with 6 barely. You really need that 7th fan for the rear exhaust.
If you want to run fans on silent and keep rpm low, thats going to be 8 fans in the 5000D if you want temps down. But like I said 6 is fine if you don't mind running warm hot. The case is just too big to cool with 6 fans on normal rpm.

Installed the Peerless Assassin and ordered one more phanteks fan up top, can fit 3 120s up there.
Usually hide the computer behind the monitor but kinda want to have it on the side now. How do you manage that cable mess the best?
(Also dont mind the trashy wallpaper and dust, its getting "home improved" when I get the energy.)

You can use plastic split conduit to bundle all the wires which makes it look less messy. Get a larger size so you can bunch them all into one conduit together. I keep my PC below my desk but I use this stuff to protect wires because my cat likes to chew on thin, expensive wires.
It's never going to look great with the pc there unless you want drill holes into your desk and run the wires below.

Not much you can do there unless you want to do some arts and crafts, really. One setup Ive seen was a 3D Printed frame that would attach to the back of the PC and he covered it with Speaker Mesh. So on the back of the case was this good looking mesh that hid the ugly shit, and routed all the wires downward into the hole on the Desk. The whole setup didnt fuck with air flow and I think that would be the perfect match for a Glacier / White light PC like yours.
The other setup is one I had, where the PC was just completely hidden - tucked away. Mine was in a stairwell - but when I searched Speaker Mesh for an example, this came up. You could do this under your desk - but I get the feeling you like the look of PC's more than I do.

This one is FAR more fancy than what I did - cause I hid everything about mine. This guy also looks like he did a whole lot of extra shit for temperature control, where as I just installed new intake and exhaust fans on the stairs and door, themselves. Basically lots of cool shit you can do if you just figure out the "look" you want to go for.

Will check out some of that cable hiding tubing. Might look a little bit cleaner at least.
Tried the Thermal Assassin on my 5900x just now in a CPU test and it never went above 77C. The Arctic Freezer did not keep it that cool, pretty sure I had over 80-85C on that one. The AIO was a bit quiter though. But happy with the performance on that cheap air cooler.

That seems insanely good for 2TB. Hmmmmmmmm
Is there an external thing you can connect and copy an NVME drive with? So that I could just copy all my drives and upgrade my storages

Oh no. Is this the life span of them? Ive had this PC since they came out - the 970 is a god damn 2000 Toyota Camry in my mind. Ive moved three times and its been my main ride or die for years, and now its my office PC. Ol' boy is champ.

Oh. Im a dumbass. I thought you was talking about the Nvidia 970. Not the NVME. If you still have that samsung 970 - might be able to claim it on the extended warranty or w/e theyre doing because of the firmware issue.

feels bad, man.
this time 2 years ago, my Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2tb was $299 and the Samsung 980 Pro 1tb was $199
the 2tb is my game/software drive (30% full), and the 1tb is my OS drive (20% full), so I don't really need to upgrade, but I don't like the sound of the 970s dying already. I suppose there's no risk in letting my game drive die, though.
