Hey guys,
So I just upgraded my case from an Antec 200S to a Corsair 540. The extra space is great and cooling is awesome except for on my cpu. In the Antec case I could play BF4 and not break 70 C, with this new case it hangs out at 85 C. So I'm trying to figure out a way to cool it down, or at least figure out why its doing this now, I suspect its the extra volume. Currently, I have the stock intel fan on the CPU, which also might be the problem. So upgrading the CPU fan, I'm looking into air cooling or liquid cooling. GPU is fine so I don't really want to get into a custom loop. Eventually I plan on overclocking once it is necessary.
-So my question: How much cooling do you recommend?
I have my 140mm fans up top so I'm looking at the H90 or the H110. Also read that the Phanteks PH-TC14PE is good.
