Howdy folks,
First time posting here, would appreciate some advice. I built a custom rig over the winter; pretty pleased with the results at the time. Now that the weather has begun to warm up I'm noticing the sucker puts out some serious heat. Somewhat small office; the room itself doesn't have great circulation with the rest of the house.
My CPU is cooled off an H100i and I'm wondering if I should go WC on my GPU's to help reduce the over-all heat output. The components themselves are holding up alright; CPU rarely gets beyond 50C and the GPU's get up to about 57C; would prefer to get those numbers down as much as I can too. I've not OC'd it yet but I plan to down the road so I'm considering this with that in mind.
My questions: Will WC my GPU's help reduce how much heat the tower is kicking out into the room?
If I do WC my GPU's would (which honestly I probably will one day, one way or the other) it be better to get another system or scrap the H100i and install an AIO system?
-note: I'm new to WC but if I can find enough information/tutorials I'd be willing to build my own system (I saw mention in other posts of a sticky guide to WC but didn't see a link)
Any knowledge/suggestions you guys can pass along is much appreciated.
My Setup:
CoolerMaster HAF X
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD FX-9370
Corsair HX1050
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB 2x8GB
2 x Asus R9 280X DC2T
Corsair H100i
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
I'm also investigating if I have the best setup for my fans. Back stock fan is pushing air out, front stock is pulling air in, Side stock fan is pulling. H100i is on top with 2 P/P (stock and after market) I did switch the side fan during the initial build but saw the temps go up slightly (it's not the greatest fan either I think)
Thanks again!
