Corsair Hydro H60 water cooler

TechSkyrim · Dec 1, 2014

I have a Corsair 300r case and I installed the water cooler but I put the fan reverse so it blows the fan out the back now I put this case near the wall as my wall is in front of my desk. I just don't know which is better blowing the fan to the top with a 120mm fan blowing out the top or blowing from the back where the top 120mm fan blowing in.

Just Imagine a 120mm fan on top lol

How close is the computer to the wall.

TechSkyrim · Dec 1, 2014

Really close I get average temps to 52c to 60c when playing games like far cry or need for speed rivals mostly 60c

I would personally try with the radiator on top with the fan blowing in and see if that yields better cooling.

Okay I give it a try Thanks

I hate installing these water cooler there so fustrating lol

TechSkyrim :

I know what you mean I recently installed the same water cooler.

Temps look normal. If you want 50-55C get a dual radiator.

Problem is, you are trying to cool an overclocked CPU with a single 120mm cooler. Most of this is about the additional heat produced when adding voltage to stabilize an overclocked processor...not with the cooler or it's location (other than it's a single 120mm radiator and poor pump).

Not necessarily I got my I5 2500K overclocked to 4.5ghz and a voltage of 1.260 and while playing battlefield 4 on ultra my temps never exceed 55 degrees

Battlefield 4 isn't necessarily pushing your CPU to 100% load, though. Also, most of the Ultra settings are graphics card based, not CPU based.

Um, BF4 uses all your CPU bro. Multiplayer uses all my cores and threads on my 4770k running at 4.4 the whole time a match is going. Yes everything is on the GPU, but it also uses CPU's. Check out benchmarks for dual and quad cores.

You'll find that i7's and 8350's lead the benchmarks.

Using 4 cores and threads doesn't mean it is 100% utilized, though. I understand what you are meaning and I agree. It just isn't 'pushing' those cores to full thread capacity like benching software would.
