Don't know if my Airflow is good

[Xtremegey]

I have a Cooler Master HAF 912 and a Corsair H60. I have two 120mm fan in the front pulling air in, and one 120mm on the top pulling air out and one 80mm on the side pulling air in, and i have the radiator if the H60 in the rear pulling air in, idk if thats a good airflow thing

as long as your temp are good it’s fine it can be good having more fans pulling air in than out because it means you get compression in the case and that decreases the amount of dust build up in your case.

Well this for your fast reply, and my idle is 34 for cpu and 27 for the system and 26 for the hdd while my gpu is lke 47 idle

 

[Xtremegey]

and my roomtemp is around 65

 

[mercer95]

what about on load?

 

[Xtremegey]

Hold on, let me try to do some BF3

 

[Xtremegey]

what about on load?

after one round of team deathmatch on bf3, cpu is 37-41 system is 28-29 and hdd is the same bout the gpu are 60-66

 

[mercer95]

yeh your fine you have plenty of head room to about 20-30 degrees.

 

[Xtremegey]

i though the gpu was a bit too hot?

 

[mercer95]

it looked a little hot at idle but GPU's are fine up to about 80 degrees, so nothing to worry about.

 

[Xtremegey]

Thx, for the reply. but what if it get up the 80 since summer is comin up soon
and room temp will be hotter

 

[mercer95]

what graphics card is it? sorry for the lat reply being away from my pc

 

[Xtremegey]

Radeon Hd 6850, Sapphire

 

[mercer95]

i have just looked and you graphics card can handle around 100'C to keep it on the safe side i would try and keep it below 90'C and i would be suprised if it got that hot.

 

[Xtremegey]

Thank you for the information. But do u know anygame that required a high end computer, or a game that have a supreme graphics?

 

[Xtremegey]

beside BF3

 

[mercer95]

you said that you have bf3, with the right settings that has "supreme graphics" but if you want to test the temps of your system run some bench mark prgrams like furr mark or 3d mark11

 

[Xtremegey]

Yup, u get my points, lol

That is a lot of fans pulling air in. You don't want to make it difficult for air to get past your rad.

If you want to know if your airflow is good inside your case, there is a simple little test.

Dust everything out - leave no dust anywhere inside your PC. Make is shine.

Then, use your PC for 5 days.

Open your case back up. If you have dust on the major components, you have airflow. The more dust, the better the airflow.

Cheers!

I'm not saying he does not have airflow or a lack of it. I'm saying he may not have the amount passing by his rad that there should be.

[Xtremegey]

So what do you guys suggest?

 

[mercer95]

you could take one of the fans of the front and put it at the top as another exhaust

 

[Xtremegey]

K, Thank you, i will try to see if i can fit the fan on top

Shouldn't the fans be pushing air OUT over your radiator from the H60?

It takes the heat from the CPU and disperses it across the metal. Wouldn't you want to push air out over that so you're not pulling in heated air?

I'm looking to get an H60 so any help would be great!
