Corsair H110i GT Mounting Question

[CaliHeat]

I have a NZXT Phantom 240 case, and after some trial and error, I was able to mount the radiator in the top of the case, and the fans on top of the case (exhausting out the top).

There isn't enough room between the mobo and top of the case for me to mount fans inside the case. My question is, will this layout cause any issues? My idle temps are currently 29-33C non-OC with an ambient temp of 23C.

Probably won't cause you any issues. Why may though is stuff falling or getting caught in the fan. I would at least get some screened fan covers for them.

Oh the top of the case is covered like so

I've been running Prime95 for about 20 mins and the max temp is 61C (stock clocks) is that good? I'm planning to OC to around 4.5 GHz later and run tests.

Waht CPU do you have?

i5 4690k and Asus Z87Pro Motherboard

Any other input/suggestions?

Have a read. In the day since you asked you could find all kinds of things on how to measure the core temp, max CPU temp, what version of prime is proper, etc.

Ok, thank you

I did the same thing seems to work well. I am going to get some grills for the fans. Temps range between 65 and 74 C at full load on an I7 5820K overclocked @4.6 GHz!
