Greetings everyone.
Just like to say absolutely loving this site... loads of info and helpful people so keep up the good work
My query is this.
I just bought a gaming rig from gumtree (sold my Imac as I fancied getting into PC's again after many a year woohoo) and I'd been upgrading it over the past week. I upgraded the GPU cooler as I didn't really like to the look of 80 degrees heat (I know thats normal operating temp full load but I wanted to lower it anyway)
So I spent a good few hours today installing a Arctic Accelero Hybrid II-120. It might seem odd the way I have set the airflow but if you can give any pointers that would be awesome. here is a pic as to how the fans are atm.
The reason I am drawing in cool air from the rear, the air will be cooler than that from the inside. Does that make sense or am I doing anything backwards?
Just thought I would double check. I suppose I could maybe knock a fan or 2 out here and there as atm there are 8 (including the gpu, cpu and psu)
I wouldn't mind getting as cool as I possibly can, then I can start playing and pushing a few limits here and there.
Many thanks for your time.
