    Parts for overclocking amd fx 8350 over 4.5 ghz

    for CTurbo: the 3rd intake doesnt do much, its for the gpu to get fresh air since gpu is pretty close to ground, in lets say "sealed" area. top of the case is perforated so the air has an exit, but eh ill think about 5th exhaust. thank you for the links

    Parts for overclocking amd fx 8350 over 4.5 ghz

    Those cards are pain in the a.. when you consider them in air flow scenario. They are just too big and just one oced makes alot of heat. I tried with 2 exhaust, 1 back, 1 top back above the first, but i didnt get your results. I was pulling 5 C more heat on core and socket, prolly made a vacuum...

    Parts for overclocking amd fx 8350 over 4.5 ghz

    I`ve made a hole in the bottom, so my case is kinda like standing on "chair legs" sort of, so my psu fan gets enough air and i can dust it off or vacuum it easier :) I cant put exhaust on top as you said, cause well of the space for the radiator. hmm, i might put the radiator on the side...

    Parts for overclocking amd fx 8350 over 4.5 ghz

    As the title says, i reached stable 4.5 ghz oc a few months back, but because of the power supply i reverted it back. It was enough to know that i can do it. But the situation has changed and i got some excess money in my pocket so i want to buy a few parts to oc over 4.5 ghz. So the idea is to...

    Rig wont boot after thermal paste reapply

    p.s. wow wod is, imo, the most demanding game i have on this rig. At this point Im not inclined to test the temps with prime or intel burn test. Right now on idle, hw monitor, core temp and speed fan says the core is around 25, socket is around 40, which is fine i think. its not as before but it...

    Rig wont boot after thermal paste reapply

    Yep i installed the evo backplate as per instruction. I couldnt install the evo without it. Its my 4th reapplying of thermal so far and this is the first time it shortened out. Everything was fine before. Theres alot of dust here so i like to dust off my case, fans, cooler etc every 6 months or...

    Rig wont boot after thermal paste reapply

    To make the long story short there is a cooler cpu mbo issue and i dont wanna tinker anymore before asking you guys for your opinion. Changed thermal and rig would not boot if i tight the cooler all the way in. It boots normally if the cooler isnt on, or if i thight it just a bit, but if i tight...
