Cooling and case pressure HELP!

[sebastian.m.musgrave]

Hi there,

Recently I brought a cooler master master box lite 5 RGB and now feel as if I am having some temperature issues as my pc randomly shut off last night which might have indicated an increased temperature inside the case ( I didn’t see the actual temperature). I am running an AMD FX 8350 cpu with the stock cooler and want to buy an AIO coolermaster ml240l rgb cooler and mount it on the top front two fans of the case. Il keep the two fans on both sides of this radiator but will this cause the fans them selves to possibly burn out because of high strain and little amount of airflow from outside of the front of the case as the air slots are small? And would this AIO actually increase air flow or not?

I also don’t know a whole lot about case pressure but by having 5 fans blowing in from the front of the case and one exhaust fan will this Cause a problem?

My specs:

CASE: CM Masterbox lite 5 RGB
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: Nitro+ RX570 8GB
RAM:HYPERX fury red 2x8 1866
MB: ASUS m5a99fx pro 2.0
HDD: WD Blue EZEX
SDD: Corsair Force LE 240GB
CPU COOLER: CM ML240L RGB

Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated, thanks

No. You won't ever have a fan strain enough to burn out from too high or too low pressure. Even the slots where the PCI-E goes has too many holes.
Positive Pressure = More Dust, Cooler, but when you build up that dust, it will affect temps.

Thanks Andy, or would you say that I’d benefit from having an 120mm CPU’s aio mounted on the cases exhaust fan with a fan on both sides of the radiator both exhausting out of the case?

No, it won't help. You'll just create more drag adding it to both sides on a radiator. Personally tried it on my radiator because of mixed answers.

Ok so you are saying that I should stick with having a ml240l RGB 240mm radiator at the front of the case with 2 fans in each side or just have the two case fans in the one side and not the other ?

2 fans only on one side. preferably as an intake and the top back fan as an exhaust
