That's exactly what I did last week, blowing cold air onto the VRMs and towards the CPU. It dropped my temps across the board (pun intended) by about 5 degrees celsius. Note though that my case had a 20cm top exhaust fan, and I reversed the front intake to an exhaust too, so my case was perfect...

In fact, now that I think about it, if anything having the rear fan as an exhaust is creating an airpocket around the VRM, which is causing it to heat up in the first place! Thermodynamics 4 lyf niggaz

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but Id have to take off the motherboard and that'd be too much hassle, plus it'd be blowing hot air across the VRMs, so surely cold air from outside would be best? The case has PLENTY of exhaust from that top fan, so much I think doing this might actually add to...

Im using a 212x Turbo pointed vertically upwards, and that's exactly the problem. The cooler is blocking any air from the front top intake reaching the VRM, reversing that direction of both fans would surely rectify this, and there are no motherboard components on the other side of the CPU to...

Hey guys, So I have an antec 900 that has a 200mm fan directly over the top of the mobo, and im having issues with the VRM temps. I also have 2 front 120mm fans, (very top & very bottom) and was thinking I could turn the rear 120mm case fan around as an intake, and have the front top 120mm as...

If you're using your older HD as storage, its possible that the read/write times could be causing a bottleneck. Also, the CPU voltage looked a little low when it was overclocked, this DEFINITELY was a problem for me on a few occasions - might be worth trying it with a higher voltage if you have...

Hey guys, So Im currently running an FX-8350, OC'd with a Hyper 212X. Currently stable at 4.3ghz since the MOBO doesnt allow accurate VCore settings. (Offset only - MSI Gaming 970). Since the CPU is no spring chicken, and I can't justify replacing everything just yet to get a few more fps the...

Turns out it was just a bad OC. Too low voltage. All solved now, thanks!

Thanks a mill for the help guys! Solved it. What a website!

Hey guys, Sorry for the rookie question, hope theres some elementary mistake im making. Long story short ive got an r9 390 that im trying to connect a second monitor to. The main hdmi is going to a 1080p 27", works perfectly. Im now trying to connect a 2nd monitor via a vga-dvid adaptor and...

Hey guys. So Im running an FX-8350 OC'd to 4.5ghz with a Hyper Evo 212x. Seems stable, but for some reason I cant figure, I get my FPS cut in half on GTAV when its OC'd vs on stock. Mobo is an MSI Gaming 970. (POS I know but it does the job) This makes no sense to me and I really dont...

I got a 390, and have it currently OC'd to 1200mhz and its blitzing everything!

Simple, once you add up the cost and divide by the rate of loss, the answer is $DONTSELLYOURGAMINGRIG.00
