Hey Everyone,
So I recently OC'ed my GPU and was running some tests.
With my side fan disconnected I am actually finding a 2C temperature drop during stress testing.
Does that sound normal?
My side fan pulls air in, and maybe it is messing up with the fans on my GPU.
current fans include one at front pulling air to cool HDs, and one at back pulling air- both always on
specs
case: Thermaltake armour+ (full tower)
mobo: Asrock extreme 3 gen 3
cpu: i5 2500k -stock cooler no OC
ram: 8g ripjaws
gpu: Sapphire OC edition 7850- OC'ed
psu: 800w thermaltake
HD: 2x 1tb
Is it normal to have side fans that increase the heat?
Should I maybe install my side fan backwards so its pulling air from inside my case?
