I have a couple questions about cooling and what temperatures should be at.
I just finished my new build like a week or 2 ago and everything seems to be running normally from what I can tell, but I have some questions. (first build)
1. How should the intake vs exhaust be? Right now I have my rear fan as an intake and my top fan as an intake. My front radiator (EVGA CLC 240) is an exhaust. So 2 intake 2 exhaust. I have tested having my rear as an exhaust but I think my cpu gets better temps having it this way but im not completely sure and would like some advice.
2. While stress testing my cpu using aida64 after about 5 or so minutes my highs are about 72C (never really goes higher than this while stress testing) I have a i7-8700k OC to 4.7ghz. Are these temps okay? My idles are about 35C-40C give or take
Sorry if these are really basic questions but looking online has so many mixed answers its hard to tell...
This is my full build if it helps https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rtRmKB
