I have a Corsair Obsidian 750D full-size tower case with a AMD 3900X cooled by a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum that is attached to the top of the case and exhausting air (I could not place the radiator in the front because the hard drive cage blocked the front interior). I also have one Corsair 140mm MLM fan in the front and another in the rear panel, both as intakes, blowing air into the case. In this configuration, the CPU temps would hover between 39-43 degrees.
I added another 140mm Corsair fan to the front panel to pull air into the case, making the system have a positive air pressure. The problem is that now the CPU temps hover 53-55 degrees with no load, an increase of ~14 degrees. Is this normal?
