Replacing Azza Genesis 9000 fans?

Cannondale151 · Apr 11, 2013

The bottom 2 fans of the genesis is only 140mm. Is it worth replacing them with 2 230mm fans? Is so, what fan should I try to replace it with.

tiny voices · Apr 11, 2013

Does the case have room and proper screw holes for 2 230mm fans?

I would say no, as to answer your question. There will be no real change in temps.

Cannondale151 · Apr 11, 2013

It has slots for 3x 230 mm fans. However, due to my lepa 1000w PSU, I can only fit 2.

BUT I am going to add a 200mm side fan to the case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LE8BJA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1HNC035CZ2MR5

I see no real point in changing them. As long as you have a front intake fan or two and a rear exhaust fan or two, there will not really be any benefit. Just noise.

Cannondale151 · Apr 11, 2013

I have 2x 140mm fans on the bottm for intake, 2x 230mm fans on top for exhaust, 1x 120mm fan on back for exhaust, and one side has 2x 140mm exhaust, and other side has 2x 140mm exhaust.

My CPU (i7 3820) runs at high temps at 61C during Prime95. The 200m side fan would blow directly on the seidon 120m liquid cooling and GPU.

61c is perfectly fine.

Your current arrangement in perfectly fine. Changing it will not change CPU temps in any way. If you want cooler CPU temps, you need a better cooler.

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

Max temp for CPU is 66C. I have the seidon 120mm, but CyberpowerPc just left the stock azza 120mm fan on it, and didn't even give me my ordered upgraded fan or put in the stock fan that comes with the liquid cooling. I am definitely going to change that to a push-pull. (Which is probably the issue with the cooling)

I was going to get 2x Silent 120MM Red Led Sickleflo

Honestly, I do not like closed loop coolers. A good quality air cooler is generally better. Changing to a push pull setup may net you a -3 degree increase if you are lucky.

tiny voices :

I have 16 GB of corsair vengeance 1866 ram (4x4gb) and they are the ones with the heatspread, so I will have to buy lowprofile RAM (see link below) in order to be able to do the push pull since the 'push' fan won't fit with the RAM sitting in dual channel. I'd have to change it and place the low profile next to where radiator is in order to put the PUSH fan...which would also result in me having 24 gb of RAM.

How does adding a fan to the radiator of your current setup cause RAM issues? Are you talking about using an air cooler?

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

I have the corsair vengeance that has the spikey heat sinks which are raised higher than normal ram. I have the radiator connected to a fan connected to the back of the case. I can add a PUSH fan so it is fan-radiator-fan-case, but since the heatsinks stick up too much, I can't put the fan there because it won't fit. If I had that low profile ram, then it would fit.

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2013

I see the problem. Your motherboard has RAM slots on either side of the CPU. Now it makes more sense. You can remove the heat sinks. They are 2 sides glued to the stick. I have done it before. I used a butter knife and slowly and gently "peeled" the heat sinks off one side at a time.

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

I used speedfan to get the temps. I'm using real temp now, and running prime95 again. Max temp is 55C, which means I shouldn't have to upgrade the fan? Or should I just go ahead and upgrade the fans to the radiator? (Remember it just has the stock azza 120m case fan that comes with the back)

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2013

I wouldn't worry about it. Prime96 is the max test for the CPU. It shouldn't get that hot in normal use. 60c is fine.

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

So is Real Temp or Speedfan the correct temperature?

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2013

Download coretemp. It will be the most accurate.

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

Ok, the reason I was worrying about it is that it is a new system. Everything seems to work fine. I did furmark for 15 minute burn in and it is fine. I did prime95 and it is fine. I can't do memtest86, because I can't get it to boot from my USB, BUT I am about to go buy a cd to burn, so I can test my memory.

Anyway, when I run like a game called Eve Online, and get into the game, it crashes. When I get into Diablo 3, it crashes. It has not crashed, then next time I retry it and log into the game, it crashes.

My GPU was already up to date so I couldn't install it. I tried reinstalling windows 8. I've updated my mobo's stuff. Nothing works. It always crashes.

See everything that has happened in the link below.

What are your GPU temps under load? Download MSI afterburner. Its great software for GPUs.

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

on the 15 minute furmark, it is only 65C

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2013

I wouldn't worry about it. The temps are not your problem. Something else is wrong.

What PSU and GPU do you have?

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

Nvidia 660 ti 2 gb superclocked and lepa g1000-ma 80 plus gold

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2013

That PSU is more than enough for even 2 of these cards so power is not an issue. You have the cables connected to the GPU correct?

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

I'm assuming so. Cyberpowerpc built it. It is using 4 gb of memory though. It is drawing 2 GB from my RAM.

Well, it has 2 cables directly connected to it.

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2013

It is connected correctly. Does this happen anytime the is load on the GPU?

Cannondale151 · Apr 12, 2013

I dunno. Eve Online isn't even that graphically intensive, but it ALWAYS crashes at the same spot. On Diablo 3, it would crash on the loading screen going into the game, but I've gotten into the game twice. I booted up guild wars 2, and ran around for a few minutes, and it was fine. I didn't try to boot it up again to see if it would crash. I ended up reinstalling windows, so now I only have Eve Online installed.

msi afterburner shows starting GPU at 33, and it is now at 37 by running eve online intro login screen.
