Hey everyone,
I'm hoping to find some help here with a cooling issue. I'm pretty new to AIO coolers and just recently bought the H100i for my 4770k. I installed the rad with the intention of an exhaust setup inside the case on the case ceiling, with the two included 140mm fans under the rad. The case I have has a 200mm fan on the top as exhaust, so I figured sandwiching the rad between the two 140s and the 200mm would be a pretty decent setup.
My idle cpu temps are ~34c and get as high as ~90c during Prime95 small ftt tests (and ~56c during the "standard" test). My question is this: I'm feeling some pretty warm air coming out of the top during game / stress testing, and I feel like the temps I have should be lower. Did I botch the rad / fan setup? Any help or tips you guys have would be a great help, and I will include my airflow setup and pc specs below to help you all out.
Specs (everything but gfx is standard clock):
Case - Thermaltake Core V71
Processor - Intel i7 4770k @ 3.5
GFX - 2 GTX 780 3gb FTW edition ACX cooled SLI (factory overclocked)
RAM - 8gb Corsair Vengeance Pro
Mobo - Asus Maximus VII Hero
PSU - Corsair 1050i
Air Flow Setup:
2x200m front fans as intake
2x140mm bottom mount fans as intake
1x140mm top rear fan as exhaust
1x200mm top mounted fan as exhaust
H100i rad mounted in case under top 200mm
2x140mm fans mounted under rad as exhaust
Thanks again!
