All in one coolers

[dmitrius]

Hi Guy's,

 

New to the forum, but big fan of the YouTube channel.

 

I've built an Intel i5 4690K system with a corsair 650D tower and corsair 850W PSU. Works great (first system I've built myself, very chuffed!)

 

I currently have no over clocking and a 750ti from my last PC installed so the thrown in CPU cooler and decent case fans are doing a good enough job. I am, however planning to overclock the I5 and add two Gigabyte 970 graphics cards down the line.

 

So my question is:

 

If I were to remove the top 200mm fan and insert an all in one corsair H100i would that retard the cooling on the two graphics cards substantially?

 

I realise that it must to some extent, but I'm worried that overclocking would become impossible or the cards might actually overheat and throttle without any overclocking actually being done.

 

The other option is a custom loop, but I'd like to put that off for a while as I'm not 100% confident.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all help given.

 

Kind Regards...

An All in One wont affect graphics cards as the heat is being exhausted straight out the case.

Depends, if the 200mm fan is pulling air from your case and out (exhausting), then the H100i will do the same job (assuming you set up as exhaust), so not it will not affect your graphics cards performance. If you have your 200mm fan intaking then I don't think the difference will be substantial, if at all.

No it most likely won't

Thanks for the info.

 

As you say the exhaust fan on the all in one would be pushing air out of the case so I wasn't concerned about the fan adding hot air to the rig. More it was the cost of sacrificing an unhindered open fan for one pulling air from the GPU area and having to force it through a radiator.

 

I'm sorry if you feel like I'm asking you to repeat yourself, but for my peace of mind, will losing the fan dramatically reduce the cases overall ability to cool the GPU's or will the fans pushing air through the rad on the top help with that to the extent that dual SLI overclocked becomes a reasonable expectation. I'm hoping with the 200 mm intake on the front and the smaller exhaust fan in the back of the 650D it's the latter.

 

Thanks again folks. I expect it's a bit of a pain in the arse to explain something like this. 

 

Regards...

Finally got it working though I'm fucked if I know how,

 

Sorry if anyone's looking to this for a quick fix. I spent hours resetting all the drivers and attempting different combinations of sound cards & speaker set ups. The only thing I didn't try was buying digital audio speakers as I don't have any kicking about.
