So I recently bought a new case the Fractal Define R5 and a new CPU cooler the Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3 190TDP for an am3+ socket
My CPU is the AMD FX 8350 4.0 Ghz
GPU is the MSI Rx 480 8g
My motherboard the Asus M5A97 R2.0 only allows the Dark Rock 3 to be orientated so that the fan in drawing fair from behind the GPU (air flow comes from the bottom and exits top side)
Temps taken from SpeedFan
Idle:
Socket 37C
CPU 28C
GPU 58C (GPU Fan is Off)
Load
Socket 51C
CPU 42C
GPU 60C
My question is, am I gaining temps because the fan is drawing air from behind the gpu?
