Ok so my cpu is the i7-4770k and my cpu cooler is the first h100i and during bf1 beta on ultra settings im getting 75 degrees. I was looking around and i found out that the fans are supposed to be on top of the radiator on the top side of my case. While i installed them on the inside of my case on the bottom side of the radiator. Do you guys think if i put them on top ill be able to fix my problem and reduce some of the temp?

Which direction are they blowing?

Gam3r01 · Aug 31, 2016

There is no "right" way to do it.
If your fans are mounted on the bottom of the radiator blowing through it, thats technically the correct way.
Thats the way it is on the product page:

I think towards the radiator.

Gamer yeah thats how mine are mounted i just changed them with corsair quiet fans the sp120 ones

genchinho8 :

From inside the case to outside, then?

genchinho8 · Aug 31, 2016

SchizTech :

Yeah the fans are inside of the case i believe blowing up towards the radiator

Well it sounds like they're set up properly. Is the heatsink clean? If there's dust you can use a can of compressed air to clean it out.

SchizTech :

It might be a bit dusty i havent cleaned the heat sink since i bought it

How long have you owned it? My H100i get loud about every 8 months.
On a side note, what fan profile are you running?

Gam3r01 :

Ive had it for about 2-3 years and im not sure im not too sure what fan profile im running. I dont even know what program to use to run and access my fans or to overclock my cpu

If you've had it that long without cleaning it I'd say it's overdue. If you use air cans they do tend to blow themselves out quickly (they don't sustain max pressure for long) so it might take a couple of them to clean it well.

Gam3r01 · Aug 31, 2016

I would highly recommend a cleaning then.

Using corsair link you can manage the H100i fan speeds. I have mine set to balanced, but you may require the high performance option.

What if i use compressed air from a compressor ?

Gam3r01 · Aug 31, 2016

For a radiator thats fine.
The issues with air compressors is they also compress any moisture in the air. If you arent aiming at any PCBs you will be fine.

That being said, I use an air compressor too.

If you have access to a compressor, that should do a fantastic job. Most people don't have one handy (though there is a device on Amazon called compu-cleaner which is a handheld dust blower)
