Hi all, long time admirer, first time poster here.
Have a build inside my NZXT S340 (i5-7600k OC 5GHz, MSI Z270 Tomahawk, CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Red LED, MSI GTX 980ti Gaming 6GB, 2 x 8GB Corsair vengeance DDR4 2400MHz RAM, 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 600W PSU) and I’m noticing my CPU temps are getting a bit high (40-50c when idle). I appreciate that the S340 isn’t the best when it comes to airflow, but I’m just wondering if my fan config is helping or hindering the situation.
Currently I have 2 140mm Corsair AF fans in the front, 1 120mm Corsair AF Fan on the top and one on the rear (both exhausting). After doing some reading I can see that this is leading to positive air pressure rather than negative, potentially leading to the higher temps. I’m tempted to switch one of the 140mm fans for the top 120mm in an attempt to rebalance the air pressure but I don’t know which one of the two front fans to switch (top or bottom). Also, I have a couple of the 140mm SP fans as well and I was thinking of putting that up top to exhaust as with the higher pressure output of that fan it might help to rebalance the pressure?
All help and advice is greatly appreciated!
