  1. That is actually a good idea, I will look into doing that! Thank you
  2. I may try flipping the rear or top fan around to see if I can get some kind of positive pressure. But even then, there's not many places for air to leave. The case looks amazing but I think I should have gone with something else hahah If I pick up an AIO, wouldn't putting it exhausting on the top pull all the hot air from my motherboard and GPU into the radiator? This is good to hear. I still don't like high temps though. I will probably end up picking up some liquid cooling. I re-seated the cooler with Arctic Silver 5, so this shouldn't be an issue. The stock cooler isn't great though.
  3. Yeah the case is one thing I unfortunately did not do a huge amount of research on beforehand. The front panel cannot come off, however there is a temperature drop when I take the side panel off. (Can get an exact difference later if you want) Room temperature around 25C. No my case only supports 2*120/140 front 1* 120/140 top 1*120 rear NZXT H500
  4. Alright, so I just built a new PC and I've had it for about a week. Here are the specs: Ryzen 2600 with stock AMD cooler. Not overclocked. MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon G.Skill TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 EVGA 650W PSU Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1080 NZXT H500 - 2 120mm fans (1 top 1 rear) for exhaust, 2 140mm fans front for intake So I've noticed the PC runs fairly hot. Or what I think is hot. I haven't really been able to find what's normal for the Ryzen 2600 tbh. On idle and low load, I'm at about 45-55 degrees Celsius on the CPU. Under load it gets up to 60-75. Stress testing puts me over 80. Gaming varies, but it's usually 60-70. GPU gets to 60+ on some games. To me these temps seem very hot. I know the H500 already doesn't have amazing airflow, but even with all the fans cranked to full it still runs warm. So my questions are; -Would I benefit from a AIO cooler, and if so, should I go for a single fan 120/140 or for a double 240 or 280? -Or would I benefit from changing the fan setup? Adding a 140mm in the top slot for example. Or changing around any fans. -Or are these temps acceptable and should I not worry too much? Any help or tips would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Edit: I should add that I have re-seated the cooler multiple times, using Arctic Silver 5 paste. Results haven't changed, as far as I can tell.
