Soon, very soon I hope, I will be moving on to the next level in cooling.
Id like to be able to say I had mastered air cooling first, before I move on.
ATM I have managed to lower my rigs temp at load from 45c to just over 35c with the addition of extra fans and the moving/turning of the standard case fans.
I have 2 intakes at the front, 1 low and 1 in the empty drive bays(high)
I have another intake on the side of my case.
This morning I took apart an old PSU and wired up the fan to the front of my case, behind the spare PCI slots.
ATM I have it set as an intake agaisnt all the rules and it has lowered the temp at load by about 2-3c.
I only have i exhaust fan on the PSU, everything tells me this is bad but my temps are now so good.
What do you all have atm in your cases in terms of intake/exhaust?
