I removed my rear top exhaust today because it was way too noisy. So now i am running on 3 intakes, 1 exhaust and a single-tower heatsink with push/pull to cool my AMD + Northbridge.
Everything runs at stock speed. All fans are 140mm. Case is a Define R4.
Here's my CPU-Z if needed: http://valid.x86.fr/8mp01v
After the change i let HWMonitor run in the background while playing "Watch Dogs" for 2 hours straight on maximum settings (everything "ultra", vsync, etc). This is most likely the default usage i will put this system through. Don't have anything else this "taxing".
I would like to know if you see any values that seem strange to you and hear some advice if so. I don't see much difference here from yesterday where i still had the top exhaust, so.. hmm.
I am overall happy with the current state, however i find the northbridge too hot at times and maybe i could remove some cooling if theres enough headroom. But i lack the experience to judge that.
