Hello guys!
I just built my new rig, based on a Bitfenix Shinobi Core case. One 120mm front fan and one 120mm rear fan in the chassis.
I closed the sides and was looking forward to a fun round of GTA or Witcher with my new setup when I noticed that my system's overheating even in BIOS.
I played around with the fan speeds but apparently higher speeds don't change anything.
I decided to have another look at idle temperatures in Windows. My GTX 970 rose higher and higher to a steady 53°C while my 6700k stayed at 27°C which I would call desired. After I had a short look at MSI Afterburner and some forum entries, I looked back at the temperatures and saw that the 6700k catched up to roughly 55°C (see picture).
The 55°C area is also where they're both staying in idle. In Prime95 SmallFFT it doesn't get over 70°C, GPU stays at 58°C.
I have no idea what to do. 55°C idle is definitely not normal and the fans are really loud in that case, not what I imagined. I already changed the thermal paste on the CPU cooler (Noctua NH-U12S) and tried to switch the 2 chassis fans around a bit but not a single configuration made it look better. I don't think it's a badly ventilated case because turning up the fan speeds didn't better the situation either. But I'm still open for interpretation. Any ideas?
Setup:
Bitfenix Shinobi Core
i7 6700k
Noctua NH-U12S
MSI GTX 970 OC
ASUS Pro Gaming/Aura
2 BeQuiet 120mm PureWings 2 chassis fans
620W Seagate S12II Bronze PSU
