Top exhaust fan above Ryzen stealth cooler

[justinbwebbster]

Hi, I am wondering if I should add a small 80mm fan inside the top of my case above the Ryzen stealth cooler.

I guess I am asking because I don’t want to veer the airflow from cpu fan/heatsink. I don’t want them to fight eachother if they even would.

I was gonna install a nocturno a couple to few inches above stealth cooler as another top exhaust fan. I do have 1 120mm fan installed up there already above my Corsair vengeance LPX ram which is OC.

What do you think?

I would be worried about putting another fan directly over the ryzen cooler because they will conflict. Are you having temperature issues? If not, it's probably not worth messing with.

No , no overheating.

I’m at 63 /66 degrees C. Running black ops 4 @ 3.4 ghz but if I initiate MSI GAMBOOST on my b450 tomahawk @ 3.9 ghz I’ve reached 76 degrees C. And I don’t think I liked that so I shut off gameboost.

yeah, those auto overclocking tools really crank up the voltage and generate a ton of heat. You would probably get cooler temps with a manual overclock.

I have a build where the PSU fan was right over the fan in Ryzen build and has issue until turning PSU over. It now runs 23C on idle.....
