  1. Would I want the Noctua NF-A14 PWM version? Also Thor829 mentioned putting fans on the bottom of the case, what are you thoughts on that?
  2. Thanks, I wasn't aware that was a product.
  3. The rear of the case isn't filtered, also I can put fans on the bottom if need be. Currently it is sitting on carpet but I can move it to a solid surface.
  4. Currently there is the 200mm fan at the front pull air in, 2 fans connected to the x61 radiator which is at the top of the case also pulling air in, and a 140mm fan at the back of the case as an exhaust.
  5. I have read in multiple places of people getting 20-30 degrees at idle which has made me unsatisfied with my temps, plus I would also like to not have the stock fans on the x61 kraken running at 75% as its pretty loud. While the noise doesn't exactly bother me with my headphones on, if I could get better temps and have it be a bit more quite that would be nice.
  6. My temps which are around 35-40 idle and 50-70 at load with various different games. I have mentioned them before in this post. *edit* Temps are degrees celsius. These are my specs.

  7. I am not happy with the temps I am getting. Someone from NZXT suggested I take the side of my case off, after removing the side the temps dropped by like 5-10 degrees. I don't really want to run my PC with the side off as I hate to think of all the dust that will get inside of it. So I thought new fans might improve the cooling of the case.
  8. I have been doing a bit of research into which fans are the best for my NZXT H630, as currently it just has the stock fans in it. I am really not sure which fans would be best to use. Would it be better to leave the included 200mm fan at the front and add a 120/140mm fan to go with it for should I replace it with 3 120mm fans that have high static pressure (These will pull more air in?). I also have an NZXT x61 Kraken which is still running with its 2 stock fans which I don't mind replacing and the HDD cages are still all in the case, I can remove two out of the 3 if needed. Any suggestions are much appreciated. The case supports: Front 2 x 200 or 2 x 140 or 3 x 120mm ( 1 x 200mm included )Top 2 x 200 or 2 x 140 or 3 x 120mmRear 1 x 140/120mm ( 1 x 140mm included )Bottom 2 x 140/120mmHDD Pivot 2 x 140/120mm
  9. I don't really turn my PC off so Chrome just slowly starts using more and more RAM and then after like 2 weeks its using 10GB.
  10. I gathered they were too high, I am sort of at a loss as to what the issue is.
  11. Everything is stock at the moment, I do want to overclock but I wasn't going to until I was happy with everything.
  12. I recently purchased a new PC and I am finding my temps higher than what I thought they would be. Should I be getting around 35-45°C when I am just browsing the web/viewing YouTube and around 60-70°C while gaming (Diablo 3, Dying Light, Battlefield 4, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive). I am no longer using the default thermal paste that came with the cooler as I removed it after around 4 weeks of use. I replaced it with Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound, this made barely any difference. I removed the thermal paste using Arctic Silver ArctiClean as I couldn't find any Isopropyl Alcohol that was more than 75%. While removing and cleaning the CPU/Cooler thermal paste I used only lint free wipes. This is my parts list. Have I done something wrong or are these temps okay? This is an image of the load my PC is under while browsing the web and this is a picture of the CAM software temps/fan speeds/etc.
