A few months ago I got myself a Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Edition and it’s pretty great for me, except for when I realized that my GPU was hitting some pretty high numbers when playing super GPU intensive games, I’m talking 85-88 degrees C.
On my previous case I had no such problems, trying to diagnose what the problem is, I removed the side panel and put my hand right under the GPU, the thing gets absolutely no air, not even a bit.
I removed the rear exhaust and put it in the front under the single exhaust that came with the case, which helped, but now I have another problem, after just a couple of minutes gaming, the hot air gets trapped inside the computer with no way of getting out since there’s no rear exhaust, rendering my solution useless.
I was conteplating buying two 140mm fans to put in the front and leave the 120mm in the back, I don’t have the money for them just yet but I do have money for a single 120mm to put as an exhaust, my only fear is that the two front 120mm fans won’t be enough and I just wasted money on a fan I have no use for.
Any tips?
