Hey everyone,
Thank you for your help in advance. I have a Corsair Air 540 case and a H60 CPU cooler that's being used to cool an AMD 8320 which I did have overclocked at 4.375 Ghz. Recently I started noticing that my CPU and my CPUTIN temps have been getting very high. After playing BF4 for about 30 minutes I had a TIN temp of about 68*C and a package temp of around 54*C when previously I had been running temps not exceeding 52*C on the TIN and 40*C on the CPU.
Needless to say I've gone ahead and ordered some new thermal compound as well as two SP120 fans to put on the radiator in hopes of doing a push pull configuration. I've provided pictures of my thoughts for fan and rad locations and would love the communities opinion on this in hopes that I can re-overclock my CPU and get better temps doing so.
I've heard conflicting viewpoints on fan placement - other details that may be needed regarding this rig is that I am running two AMD HD 7870 video cards in crossfire.
Thoughts on the best configuration.
