Hi all, my current setup is:
So I crippled the 9900K a bit (PL1 150W / auto time, and PL2 200W / 2secs ) and lowered both CPU max temps and VRM temps: roughly, 80C and 90C max, respectively.
Question 1: if I wanted to swap my CPU cooler (Thermalright Macho RevB), what would be better in terms of both CPU temps and VRM temps:
Opinions ?
Questions 2: I also plan to replace may rear and top-rear exhaust fans with decent ones.
Top-rear (if I don't go AIO) -> Noctua NF-P14 redux 1700
Rear -> Any advice between the 3 Noctuas NF-S12B redux-1200 PWM, NF-P12 redux-1300 PWM and NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM ?
Thanks in advance !
- Case: Fractal Meshify C
- i9 9900K on Gigabyte z390 Gaming SLI
- 4x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 C15
- CPU cooling: Thermalright Macho Rev.B with its 1400mm TY-147 fan
- Case cooling: 2x Noctua 140mm P14s 1700 front intake, 1x Corsair 140mm AF140 top-rear exhaust, 1x Fractal 120mm X2 GP rear exhaust
- Nvidia RTX 3070, stock

- Noctua D15
- A 240mm AIO, like a Liquid Freezer II 240 mounted as top exhaust (I can't go bigger than 240 on top in my Meshify C)
