The cooler came with brackets for a 2nd fan so I swapped their fan for 2 high flow fans and run a push pull with it. Under full load such as Intel burn test or cinebench r23 multi core for a 10 minute run the temps top usually around 71-72ish. Keep in mind I’ve got a cooler master mb511 mesh case with 6 case fans though so I’ve got pretty good airflow.
I’ve got a Corsair Crystal 570X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case and Corsair iCUE QL120 RGB, 120 mm RGB LED PWM Fans x3 so pretty good airflow I feel. Would a smaller fan be ok then?
