After about seven years, I decided to downgrade from my Thor Full ATX case to a Fractal Define 7 Mid-ATX case. I took the opportunity to upgrade my CPU and cooler, going from a Intel Core i5-4670S with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 to a Ryzen 5 5600X with a Cooler Master ML240 AIO.
The Fractal Define 7 has me a little worried - I haven't had a door on my desktop in forever and that is one of the intakes. My guess is, with how they have it engineered, the intake still works through the slats on the sides? It sits under my office desk, but is otherwise free of obstruction.
Right now, I've likely got a negative pressure system. The front two stock fans are intake. The back stock fan is exhaust. The fan on my GPU is pointed down through the case's dust filter and naturally exhausting out the back. The AIO is mounted on the top with the fans intaking through the radiator (case-->rad-->fans).
I did a stress test on my chip through the CPUID-Z and never saw it go over 66-67C while all cores were at 100%. That said, the chip is typically running at around 38-40C idle. I don't overclock. Ambient temperature in the room is around 25-26C (a small office with not exactly the greatest A/C vent).
Do I have this setup right? Should I make any adjustments? Thanks in advance!
