Currently i have the HAF 932 AMD edition with an Intel i7 6900 and a H100i gtx cooling it mounted on top. But i have a 140mm fan on back case, 200mm @ 110cfm i think on front and side. The side i know ( not sure about front ) will take a 200mm ( if its designed to fit the 230mm holes ), 230mm fan or 4 x 120mm fans. Just wnana push more air flow to keep things cooler exspecially more air flow onto my EVGA gtx 1080 FTW. Theres a bitnix 230mm fan with 156cfm @ 900rpms but not sure if id get more air flow and/or cooler air with a 230mm or 4 x 120mm and which ones would be best. Trying to keep it all red led's.

as soon as i turn on my PC and log into WoW the card goes up to 73-80c and all im doing is walking around in the game.

No have no idea how to do a custom fan curve.

I have two 200mm fans in it right now, one in front and one on the side that fits the 230mm holes. Both are 700rpm @ 110cfm. Top is the H100i gtx pushing air out. That works great.

one thing i did notice is the backplate on my 1080 is HOT. my system idles around 50c or so but as soon as i open WoW and start riding my mount around the world it jumps to very high tems as what this Afterburner screenshot shows.

Afterburner and PrecisionX show the same temps.

ok yea i was gonna check youtube to see if i can find some. Im sure like you said someone did a video on how to set it up.

You do it with fan profile. The stock fan profile is designed to keep the card at or just below 82c. If you want the cards target temp lower you either have to set it lower or set a custom fan profile to ramp up the fan speed at a cooler temp. So stock fans only go to like 40-50% max speed. You can set them to run at 70% at say 70c or 100% at 70c. You have to tell the card where you want it to run.

oh ok awesome. Thanks for the link. Ill check that out afterwork or during lunch for sure.

oh ok cool. I've never had the high end cards like this. I've always had the normal entry level cards so to speak. So the fan profiles etc are new to me but ill check it out and set it accordingly and see what it does.

you are welcome and its very easy to do it--should bring your temps down a bit--let us know if it helps

though as evga said its still within normal temps so its nothing to panic over until you can set a custom fan curve

Ok great... Thanks yea they said the same that its normal till it gets to high 80s or 90s. Mines got to 83c for a couple seconds but just fluctuating is all. But i know if i decide to go SLI to help with 3d rendering etc for the cuda cores then that second card will or might be hotter with the fans blowing on them. But that may be a while before i get a second one. but will need to find a better way to cool em. I know theres watercooling but custom watercooling i heard theres alot of maintenance on them etc and cost a bit. Never done that before.

yes with 2 cards it will get hotter

see how much improvement you get with a custom fan curve

i have a full watercooling loop yes its not cheap but mine only hits 50c/55c under full gaming load and thats with the cpu in the same loop

lot of maintenance? guess it depends what you use once a year i drain mine down check everything still looks ok like rubbers/seals and stuff

Oh. can i ask what you use as far as parts vendor and all for a custom loop? i may look into it at some point and see. Ive always been afraid of custom watercooling with horror stories of em leaking and all. Cant afford to have it leak with my i7-6900k and all. that things expensive.

any d5 variation for the pump--i use 2 pumps in one loop so should 1 pump fail it carries on working fine till you can fix the other pump--and have simulated a pump failure just to see and yes still goes fine

any good radiators that arent made of aluminium--brass usually

i use primochill lrt tubing--no sign of any degrading on that after a couple of years

gpu blocks usually from EK

cpu block EK supremacy or similar quality

my loop is a bit overkill compared to most though--i was interested to see the effect of 2 pumps as having redundancy made sense to me

i also have 3 reservoirs and 3 radiators lol again overkill but i had the parts laying around and wanted to see if the extra amount of coolant made a difference

ie-- there must come a point where the volume of fluid overcomes what the cpu and gpu can heat beyond a certain temperature

and in theory if you get 100% purified deionised coolant it doesnt conduct electricity if it leaks as far as i remember from school science water doesnt conduct electricity the ions from other elements in the water do

though not tested that out by pouring coolant all over my pc lol

lol... well if you do decide to test that out and poor water over your PC then let em know how well that works cause id like to know lol... But i heard EK is really good. Not familiar with all that or the soft tubing or hard tubing etc but from videos and pics of peoples builds it looks awesome. not sure if id need one to do my CPU since its on a h100i gtx already AIO cooler. If i just do the GPU or GPUs then ill have to figure out what ill need at some point but thats a ways away.

Id just need to be careful with a custom watercooling loop as i bring mine to the office everyonce in a while and to land partys sometimes when we have one.

yes EK are very good and usually first to produce blocks for new gpus especially non reference pcb ones

hard tubing looks great as get straight lines and precise bends--but imagine to get it right will take practice or you get creases and bulges in the bends

soft tubing is the easier method definitely

yes you could just do the gpu/gpus in fact gpus benefit more from it than cpus when compared to air cooling

ie watercooling your cpu wont beat a massive air cooler by a huge amount of degrees though may be a bit quieter if you have proper watercooling not a corsair aio etc

but with the gpu its probably possible to see a 30 degree drop in temperature especially if using more than one gpu as they block the cooling of the other gpus

my gtx970 went down 20 degrees and it wasnt exactly the hottest card to begin with
