Good Afternoon everyone, recently I rma'd a card to MSI and the card I got back ran hotter than my previous one. I decided to change thermal paste, noticed the heatsink was bent and although changing the paste and tightening the heatsink t dropped temperatures by about 10 degrees it runs about the same temp as the first card I had....with stock paste.
I ordered up a Kraken g10 and an h55, the problem i'm having is finding a good way to mount it in my case. I cannot mount it at the top as there is no space, which essentially leaves me to mount it as a rear exhaust. The problem is I have a tower style cooler blowing straight into that rear exhaust position.
I'd like some feedback from anyone who has tried similar setups as to how much difference a setup like this would make compared to the Rad/cooler getting fresh air... to me it doesn't seem like the greatest idea as the warm air from the cpu is then used to cool the gpu.
