XFX Airflow

[Zenakuh]

Hello,

Im new in this forum, I'm preparing my presentation in the correct section.

My questions is about the Airflow of my new case, XFX Type 01 Bravo. I´m very happy with this case, but I want to know if the temperatures are fine.

In full load (Playing) my CPU (Intel I5 3570K) is around 45-50 degress.
My GPU (GTX 660 OC 2GB ) is around 65 - 75 degress.
My CPU's cooler is Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 2 fans.

A want to know if my airflow is correct or you guys suggest me to change something.

Sorry for my bad english, is not my native language.

Regards!

Those temps are fine dude. Make sure you have more fans blowing in than blowing out, so you get positive air pressure.

Thanks for your answer.

I have:

-Front fan (200mm) blowing in.
-Button fan (120mm) blowing in.
-Top fan (120mm) blowing out.
-Back fan (140mm) blowing out.

I think that the power supply is getting fresh air from the button, right?
What do you think if I put my top fan blowing in?

Now Im playing, the top fan is blowing fresh air to the outside, only the back fan is blowing really hot air. My GPU is around 75-80 degress.

Thanks!

Its fine as you have it dude. The PSU blows straight through the back, so that's not a problem. I don't see any issues. If you believe everything is running alright, it probably is.

+1 Totally agree, those temps are perfectly fine and your fan setup is fine too. You have a lot of cables showing, they can restrict airflow, can they be made a little neater? I'm unfamiliar with this cases cable management.

Wow didn't even knew XFX make cases :lol:

Indeed they did, it was this thing from last year, pesonally not to my tastes but it's unique.

Hi guys, thanks for your comments.

The case is awesome, and is really big, The cable management is fine really.

Is the first time that I have a case of the type, with cable management, maybe I can re-order cables, for better positioning but Im not sure, I did my best
My problem are the DVD cable (Sata) and the GPU cable (Power), I coudn't pass them throw the other side of the case.

However I see the temperature of the GPU a bit high, or 70-80 degress full load. It is normal for a GPU?

Regards!

Yeah your still good my mate see's around the 75 - 80c mark when he's playing Battlefield 3 or Dirt 3 on his GTX 660. I've seen reference cards go as high as 90c at full load.

Wow haha, +1 on that one lol, didn't know XFX made cases too

But I'm with you Wraith on this one, not really my cup of tea either, but it's rather unique though, I give it that

 

[Zenakuh]

I really like it
Is really big, here a pic of my bedroom
(See the forum on the screen)

On topic, I will try to re-organice the cables as Wraith told me.

Cheers!

Hardware Canucks did a review on the case a while back.
