Hey Community!
I recently installed the Corsair H80i cooler on my rig. I wanted to share with you my setup and later will share my benchmark temps. However, last night i powered on the system (it was late) to make sure everything started correctly, but i believe i may be running at some higher temps then I expected. I will run the full tests later today and post them (when i get off work). I would like to hear your suggestions (or criticism ) on what i can do differently or suggestions if i get temperatures that should not be that high. I have the H80i installed with both fans set to intake across the RAD, this is mainly because i had to install one of the fans on the outside of the case or i wouldn't have enough room to set the cooling block on the CPU. (I was debating on flipping around the fan on the inside for push/pull mode on the RAD)
Also as far as Corsair Link, i too am getting the clicking sounds for some of the fans (Front and Exhaust) and i hope they fix that, because i would like C-Link to manage the fans).
I'll post the temps later today.
Below is my specs for my rig and i've included a photo of it showing air flow:
MOBO: MSI 970A-G43
CPU: AMD FX-8350
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i
RAM: 2 8GB Patriot Extremes
GFX: MSI GeForce GTX 760
PSU: Antec TruePower 750W
CASE: Corsair 300R Silent
FANS: 2 120mm Corsair FRONT (Intake); 1 120mm Corsair TOP (Exhaust)
