Is it bad if your system is TOO cool ?

Anthonyx978 · Mar 21, 2014

I just made a new computer and my idle temps on the cpu are just under 30 Degrees Celsius. I have about 9 Fans in the case together. 2 Front intakes, 1 200mm side intake, 120mm bottom intake, noctua nh-d14, 1 back exhaust and 2 140mm top exhaust. Is it bad to have the computer to cool? I heard that it can create moisture in the case or something. Thanks.

I'm surprised you're not getting lower temps to be honest. My idle temps are just under 30, and I've got a stock 600T with the NH-D14. But no, your system can't be too cool.

If it dips under your ambient temperature( room temperature), condensation can occur and that bad on electrical devices and circuits.

Well theoretically yes, water will condense when you are several (10-20 degrees F) below room temp. But, water will not condense well when the air is in motion. People cool their CPUs with liquid nitrogen, so I think you are fine.

You think I should have lower temps? I mean they are all low noise adapters and I havent adjusted the RPMS. Temps for celsius are about 25 23 28 21 for the cores

30 Degrees at idle is alright, cooling is bad when theres condensation is forming on ur your inner components. the best ideal temperature for a computer is room temp. (20 degrees celsius).

condensation occurs on the hot side of an object so I would think it would happen outside your case, but that's for bottles and such. I'm not sure if it's difference when it isn't air tight.

To answer the cold question, yes it can be bad if it's too cooled (like sub zero) but you can't achieve that with standard air cooling so don't worry about it.

i asked exactly the same question when I did my 1st build, and my cpu idles at about 30 degrees, I wouldn't worry myself about the pc been to cool, especially if your thinking about adding new components in the future, Id say its got a very efficient airflow, just make sure your back ones blowing out and the two on the front are blowing in, also the same with the top and bottom fans. Just one question what power supply are you using?, and what other components you got in there have you put a graphics card in yet?

matt20020 · Mar 21, 2014

if you want to keep an eye on all your temperatures aswell try using this

The reason I asked about the power supply is because with all them fans running, and maybe other stuff aswell it can overload it if its not a single rail one!

Im using a seasonic 650W m12ii 80+ bronze PSU, 3 additional Noctua fans, 2 140mm A14, NH-D14 cpu cooler, and i have an asus gtx 780. It just seems a little degrees off compared to others and it is in a bit of a small space in my desk if that matters.

Anthonyx978 · Mar 21, 2014

also 1 120mm fan as intake at the bottom of the case that i added

matt20020 · Mar 21, 2014

you'll be fine with that setup sounds like a great system!

Anthonyx978 · Mar 21, 2014

matt20020 :

Alright thanks! And yes it is very good

Hello man · Mar 21, 2014

Anthonyx978 :

Yeah. No need to turn the fan speed down to raise temps. Half of us would kill for 23C!
