airflow

Hey guys, I'm building a PC, these are the components: MicroATX mobo ASUS A320M-K Ryzen 5 5600G RX 6600 16GB Ram Kingston Fury XPG 750W Core reactor Gold XPG Valor Mesh Case (With 4 fans, 3 intake front 1 exhaust back) The CPU has the stock Wraith Stealth cooler, I don't plan on overclocking...

I just bought my build, but im not satisfied with the temps, all my fans are exaust with no intake fans, i though about this two situations in the picture, please tell me which one is better for my temps. Should i go with situation 1: switch aio fans to intake on the top of the radiator or 2...

I have been using this i5 4570 for the last ten years. thinking about adding an air cooler in exchange for the weathered stock cooler. Here are some stress tests from cpuz test and temps from hwmonitor, also the actual photo of the mainboard itself, it's a bit dusty after all these years of use...

I have this fan management for like 2 months, 3 fans at the front as intake and 2 fans on the top and 1 at the back as exhaust. I had no temperature issues so far, everything seems to be fine but I feel like a part of the top right fan is sucking the fresh air out instead of letting it reach...

This is my first build and I have spent a lot of time researching everything bar the case fans. How many would be optimal? Which are the best for this CPU and gpu combination? It will be in a corsair 5000d, which already contains 3 120mm fans. The CPU will be cooled with a Noctua NH-D15. I also...

Hey, I just started building my gaming PC. My case is the Endorfy Ventum 200 Air, my CPU is an i5-13600KF, and I bought an Endorfy Navis F240 cooler. While building, I realized that my cooler is too big for a top mount in my case. The RAM sticks are a few millimeters in the way of the radiator...

Is it okay to use my PC with only 1 exhaust fan ? For context, my PC is a tower with 3 intake and 4 exhaust. I have an AIO that is included on the exhaust (top mount). It's a RoG Ryujin II 360 that has recently stopped cooling my CPU, reported it to Asus and wants me to send the unit back...

Do I need to manually adjust fan curve for my PC case fan or should I upgrade to better case? I recently built my HTPC for gaming, hosting Plex server in my living room. I chose case form factor based on sleeper look and clearance under 7" in my living room shelf cabinet. It fits well placed...

My GPU temp is normally around the high 30s, a perfectly fine temperature But when I start watching YT or putting it under any light load in general, the temperature goes up to like 55C I just built this computer this Monday so I don't know what's acceptable or not so please enlighten me if...

Hey people! I recently built my own PC, but the cooling doesn't seem to be sufficient. Unfortunately, my CPU throttles under full load with multithreading. My thoughts on this are that either the airflow is very bad (due to strange placement?) or the thermal paste is not doing its job...

I have 0 experience with case coolers. I kind of understand how airflow works, so I'm planning on putting 2 intake fans and 1 outtake fan. I have an option of getting an entire case with built in fans, but I heard they are not that good and they connect directly to the PSU, so I might just get...

My friend is building a custom pc and has already started installing the hardware, but we have no realized that the airflow may not be able to support the hardware (Though we are not entirely sure it won't) Any advice on if this case will suffice or what to do if it does not...

Hiya! I bought a prebuilt PC almost exactly one year ago. In the last few days I noticed my CPU reaching very high temps (even exceeding the 95 degree threshold) while gaming and barely falling below that after ending all CPU-intensive processes. My rig contains as follows: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X...

I'm down to the final part of my build, and decided to go with a Corsair 5000D Airflow case, the other option was Phanteks P500A but decided against it. My question now is, what fan set up should I go with on this? My components are going to be a i7-12700F (with turbo boost enabled), Asus ROG...

Hello Gentleman, At the moment i have LianLi dynamic 11 Case, and at this point its starting to get too small for me after getting 3090 gpu and having to switch to 1600W power supply which is much longer than standard ones. Was looking around market and i cannot find any case that has support...

So this is how I have my fans setup, and I'm wondering if there is a better way to run it to get lower temps, I already get pretty low temps AIO is Frostflow x 240mm from ID cooling, Cpu is 1800x idle temp is 29c, max is 56c on 100%, GPU max is 77c RTX 2060, idle is 44c (It's a single fan rtx...

I was wondering one thing about radiators. I have a fractal design define S (top picture, front picture). I do not have the front cover and the dust filter attached. Now for the dilemma. I can either fit a 360mm radiator with no obstruction in the front or a 420mm radiator in the top but with...

Hello, I'm looking for a quiet case at load with not too high temperatures. I know that's a bit contradictory but I'd like to find a good balance between the two as my computer is currently annoyingly audible at idle and frustratingly loud at load. My system is built with a Ryzen 3700x with...

I am replacing my gigabyte c200 case for better airflow as my Ryzen 5900X processor is thermal throttling. Will also be changing my Deepcool L240 AIO to Arctic Freezer ii 360. The cases i am considering are Zebronics Zeb 948B Hermes Case(Lian Li o11 copycat), XPG Starker, Cooler master td500...

Hey, everyone! My job consists of mostly video editing and some motion graphics. I mainly use Premiere and After Effects for this end. I usually work with either 1080p60 or 2160p30 footage, and sporadically 4k at 120fps too. I'm from Portugal. My current setup is as follows: - CPU: AMD Ryzen...

Hello Forum, I will soon buy the 3080 Ti ROG Strix LC to upgrade from my 2080ti, which because of some weird problem that i could never solve (factory defect maybe?) would always power limit throttle at about 68% to 70%, giving in average roughly the same performance as a 1070, but i digress...

Hi, I just recently bought a 3070ti and it generates A LOT more heat than my previous gpu. Because of this, my cpu is now starting to get really hot in some more demanding games. I've seen it go up to 95 and even 100C with the panels closed and up to 90C with the side panel open. I was told that...

So ive been thinking about getting the antec df700, which comes 4 fans(3 front intake, 1 rear exhaust) + 1 reverse fan thats put on top of the psu shroud, which seems to not make any difference in temps according to reviews. So ive been thinking of using that spare fan as a top exhaust instead...

So basically, I have a Fractal Design Torrent case which is an EXTREMELY positive pressure focused case. I recently got myself a RTX 3070 MSI Gaming Z card which came with a GPU sag bracket, but in order to be able to install the GPU sag bracket, I had to remove almost every single PCI-E bracket...

I need help with airflow. What can you guys say about the case and amount of fans for good airflow. I need help with locations and what way to face the fans. Thank you!

Hey all, Looking for some advice and opinions on airflow with my new case. I had a build that burnt out my CPU AIO, so I'm getting a new case to try something different. I'm going to be using a Corsair 7000D Airflow Full Tower Case. My thoughts are to top mount my 360mm CPU AIO as exhaust...

Hi all! First time builder here and i'm just really stuck with the whole fan and AIO placement situation: My build will be along the lines of this: (I'm considering 12th gen CPU and switching to AMD GPU etc still but this is the general idea) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU...

Hey all. I recently upgraded my system to a 5900X and have been running some benchmarks. I have been running at about 84 degrees C during these tests and I am a little worried. I havent seen this high of temps regularly and my 3700x seemed like it was doing just fine. I've attached a quick...

I'm planning on buying a Silverstone CS381 for a NAS system with a gaming VM. From what I've heard, it seems the drives of the CS381 have nearly no airflow and can get quite hot. I'm looking at installing an 80mm Noctua fan for each of the two drive bays by double-sided taping 3D printed fan...

Hey. I'm looking to buy a new PC case since my current one doesn't have enough airflow (cheap MS case). However, in my country only available brands are NZXT, cooler master and chieftec and they are literally 100-200 euros. I am ready to pay this much however I'm not sure if some of these cases...

I’m currently planning for a new build and am trying to narrow down a case. I currently use an NZXT H700 for my current build and it works fine, but with the new hardware being so darn hot plus the fact that I need my PC to run heavy workloads over long periods of time has got me thinking about...

Hey y'all hope all is good. Below is my current part list which I am hoping to buy next month. I wanna know what would be the best fan configuration for the 4000D Airflow from Corsair and which ARGB fans I can use without breaking the bank. I have included a CM Sickleflow 120mm 3-pack in the...

Hey guys. So after spending a week on fine tuning this parts list, I've finally decided to ask for help again. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ameedmv/saved/#view=mD6Jyc All of the components are geared towards most bang for the buck without a GPU. I just have one little problem. I do not know...

Hi all, I have a very specific use case which is why I also have very specific needs for a PC case. I have broken the post down into sections, I hope it's helpful. I'm a fairly experienced builder, but my current PC is the first one where the components generate a significant amount of heat...

You can see fan setup in case. Is top right exhaust fan pulling fresh air coming from front top fan? Should i remove it soo CPU cooler can pull more air?

Ryzen 3600 running mid 60s Celsius while idle, 80s when gaming. Running an MSI MAG Coreliquid 240R with 2 fans, and 4 more case fans. I've tried changing bios settings, as well as removing and re-installing my CPU cooler and CPU. I built this PC less than a year ago and I'm not sure what the...

Good morning everyone, Really hoping you can help :) I recently got an arctic liquid freezer ii 240 rgb but am having some temp issues. Idle, the temps can range from 29-40 degress depending on what im doing( browsing chrome etc) but as soon as i press play on a game, within seconds, the temps...

I was looking into buying a new case in which I could install water cooling. I bought last year the Alphacool NexXxiS XT45 360mm Radiator V.2 and the smaller one 240mm XT45 V.2 since I planned to cool my GPU and CPU. I was expecting a "normal" GPU release and where I could get a new GPU since it...

Hey guys, I'm just a little confused about what would be the best way to put 3 x 120mm fans in a case. I was thinking of putting 2 intake at the front and 1 exhaust at the back or top? Or Should I put 1 intake at the front and 2 exhaust, 1 back and 1 top? What's your opinion? How and where would...
