Alright A Cooling Question

[ddbtkd456]

I know the new FX-9590 is stupid fast, however the question is in the cooling. I am currently looking at doing a nice red/black theme to my desktop. I was looking H440 with a red/black theme, I know it doesn't have any cd/dvd drives, and has 3 fans in the front, which is great (Windows can be installed threw a external cd/dvd drive I believe). So my question is with a Kraken x61 (newest model), and push/pull configuration on top, a rear 140mm fan, 3 front intake fans, and finally 2 mid range adjusting fans, is it possible to keep temps down? Or is there a better case I should be doing this on?

You want the flow to go over the GPU motherboard and CPu before exiting, make sure you have as much CFM blowing out one direction as you have coming in the other direction. You should be able to calculate the CFM from the fan specs.

As many fans and coolers as you have that case will keep temp OK. There is always going to be someone else with a different opinion of course, and then someone else who disagrees with them.

Uh first off running push pull config isnt needed really unless you want the hassle of taking the radiator off removing the fans and brushing all the dust that gets collected. ( I would run pull its A LOT easier to clean in the long run and only would cost you maybe a 2 degrees difference). Case wise i dont know if you are going for a silent case because thats what the h440 is built for. I would though recommend a NZXT source 530 (not the phantom 530). This case lets you install up to 9 fans for cooling and still has enough space to install that 360mm radiator. If you are looking to have a good airflow positive air pressure is the best airflow. ( positive airflow is when you have more fans intaking than exhausting. That being said DON'T go putting fans 7 fans as intakes and 2 fans as exhaust. Make sure you check the C.F.M on the fans to make sure you have a positive pressure. Now if your wondering what i mean by this to calculate if you have positve air pressure you add up all the intake fans c.f.m and subtract it by the exhausting c.f.m fans. That also being said make sure the diffrence isnt lets say 100 c.f.m make it so it is like a maybe 20 c.f.m diffrence). So anyways thats my 2 cents if you made it this far into my ramblings congrats. Best of luck ahead. Cheers!

It would be 3 intake fans, and 5 out take fans, the radiator would be pushing air thru the first set and pulling the air out of the case. Not only that but I was wondering just how hot this processor got, cause if need be I can go back to the NZXT Switch 810

Uh as far as im concerned as long as you buy at least a noctua nh-u14s u shouldnt have any problems the case can probaly cool your needs clso

I currently Have an Fx 9590 in my gaming machine, To cool it you want the most extreme solution in either air or an Aio cooler. I do not recommend the case you have chosen. I recommend a full tower solution. That is what I am changing to.
You are probably going to have a decent video card or cards. Again full tower or extra large Mid tower. I am not going to say negative or positive cooling. I think the best thing you can do is educate yourself on this build as to which one you want. Search the web on the pros and cons of both. That is what I did. I made my own choice. Basically I have found that there are cases that are designed which lend themselves to one or the other. Figure out which one you want then pick out a case with that in mind.

like jaimelmiel said cooler wise it depends what you will be doing if you are going to Oc thf you aren't stock willen you should buy an aftermarket cooler or if you aren't i would just reccomend buying a cheap after market cooler like the enermax ets-t40 because the amd stock coolers are rubbish

So what about a Corsair H110, with a Corsair 800D, I have decided I want to do an (almost) full corsair build. I love the case, but is the restricted airflow only coming from the bottom going to be an issue?

 

[jaimelmiel]

You have chosen a much better solution with those two. But yes you want good airflow.
