My system specs are as follows:
i5 4690k
msi r9 270
asrock h97m anniversary (upgraded from pentium g3258)
8gb ddr3 1600mhz gskill ram
1 tb WD Blue
Raidmax Vortex V3 Case
So recently I upgraded to a hyper 212 evo to cool my i5. It was running very hot on the stock cooler. I think my cases, not so great airflow was part of the problem. So after upgrading I was hitting about 60 celisus as my hottest temp ever reached while gaming. I recorded my temps using CPUID's HW Monitor. I payed attention to my hottest temperature reached and current temp while running the most demanding tasks on my machine.
I have two basic case fans in the front of the case, 1 in the back and the one on the hyper 212 evo. The fans are ehhhh at best so airflow doesnt seem too great. Now with the rear exhaust fan, there isnt enough space to align the hyper 212 evo's fan pointing away from the case, through the exhaust fan. I'm wondering what I can do to improve my temps.
One last thing, since i moved my pc to the floor i've noticed my temps went up to 65 at its peak. Is that ok with this cooler.
