cooler master elite 130 COOLER MASTER Elite 130 - Air flow Improvement

[Rafael Fongozi]

Hello guys.

 

This is going to be my first ITX build and I needed it since I moved to a smaller home.

 

As things got too pricy in 2017 and  2018, I starteed buying the parts separately and right now I'm going to finish my build using a Cooler Master Elite 130 ITX case. But, my concerns are regarding temp and air flow and due I live in Brazil which is very hot in temperatures...

 

My build is:

 

 - ASUS ROG Strix z370-i

 - i5 8600k

 - ASUS Geforce GTX 1070-OC Dual

 - 120mm water cooler

 - Corsair TX650m ATX (this case supports this form factor for PSUs).

 - Kingston SUV400S37 240gb SSD

 - Hyperx Fury 2666 DDR4 2x8GB.

 

 

That said here are my questions, and which for I look for answers / sugestions:

 

 - Is it better to adapt some left FAN on the 3.5 HDD mount like this one, or to try some PCI blower adapted in horizontal position on the back vent just above the board I/O bracket?

 

Here is an example of someone's bluid with a fan mounted on the 3.5 HDD left mount:

 

 

A sample of a Blower PCI fan:

 

The attached image is the example of where a Blower like this one (or 2x of it) would be (in my mind).

 

 

Thinking the VGA will probably throw a lot of hot air inside the chassis coming from the right side as it is not a blower cooler one like the 1070 founders edition, so great amount of this air may get stuck just above the system board and I saw some other forums relating VGA cards like this one do that in this chassis.....

 

Thank you in advance all you amazing guys from Linus Forums!

Those blowers are basically hairdryers, I knew someone who had one and it overpowered every other sound in his dorm room.

Hi friend! 

 

I was going to type out a huge thing about temps and CPUs, but I decided to just attach my build list from my current machine: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/YjWD4D

 

As you will see, I too have an i5 8600k (slight overclock, reduced voltage). I am also in an ITX case. While gaming in my most intense situations (Kingdom Come Deliverance REALLY hits on my CPU in highly populated towns), I will hover in the mid 70s. OCCASIONALLY, it will spike to 79-80c but that is for a short period of time. It does not help that with ITX cases, unless you have a blower-style GPU, the GPU will suck in air and then blow hot air all over. In my situation, that means my 1080ti is shooting hot air in and around the case and further contributing to the CPU temp. Ultimately, with all of these items in consideration, I am not worried about such a temperature (I cannot even reach this temp using stress tests, suggesting that it is INDEED the GPU creating that extra heat).

 

In your situation, I have some thoughts and suggestions:

 

1) My buddy had that case. It is quite difficult to build in, especially for a beginner and to have decent cable management. Just make sure that you plan in advance!

 

2) When you first get the machine to get into Windows, pat yourself on the back. Then immediately restart and go to the BIOS. Make sure that you turn MCE (multi-core enhancement) to OFF/DISABLED. This setting locks in the boost clockspeed (of only 4.3ghz) while greatly overcompensating the voltage, creating very high heat output. TURN THIS OFF. Set vcore to something like 1.25v to start and then set frequency to 4.5ghz. Then set LLC (load line calibration) to auto. Save and boot to desktop. If you're stable in games/tests, go back to BIOS and reduce the voltage to 1.20. Rinse and repeat. Try to get to 1.12 as I did. You'll shave off some serious heat output while ALSO getting an overclock!

 

3) Once it is all built, run some intense games and/or benchmarks. Make sure that temps are not getting out of hand. If they do, feel free to come back and we will help you!

 

 

***As for improving the airflow on that case, I am not really all that familiar with those blower add-in cards, but I cannot imagine that they are all that effective. You could certainly give it a try. Your best bet with airflow here is cable management. Also, you could try turning your PSU so that the intake is sucking air off of the motherboard; have it serve as a sort of exhaust fan for the case.

I saw some reviews about its noises and they seemed good for me. Actually if I go for it, I'd use some pot control and then control the amount of noise and air trhoughput by myself. I mean in the case this is really effective, because if it is not, I will forgive it.

Thank you man. I'm going to finish my build soon. Some parts to arrive, others even to buy. When finished I post results here. And many many thanks for your time and help. Because I was getting crazy thinking about temps in this chassi.

 

About a begginer user, well I'm not. I'm an Hw specialist at IBM but, I work with servers with well engineered airflows you know, so I don't worry with air and temps on servers hahahahha. Also servers has a CPD with air conditioning, so... Different from my build in a hot small house in a small itx case hahahh.

That's really cool actually! As for worrying about temperatures in the case, I really wouldn't (so long as you keep the voltages as low as possible and you don't pass 85c in your most intense workloads (ideally keep it 80c or below in my book), but plenty of tests show that long term effects of running at 85c (assuming safe voltages) does not materially affect the lifespan of the chip. 

 

I've always been interested in that field for a career!

I'm going to find a new position at IBM, but outside Brazil in some years, when some opportunity appears.... Yes, I agree about CPU temps. I believe the VGA will fry more than CPU in this case, and due to that, maybe the CPU gets hotter than it would in a bigger chassis. And due to the fact I saw some people stating the VGA may spreads some air on top of the motherboard, I don't know what will happen... That is actually weird, but let's see what happens when the build gets finished and running.

 

Also, My build won't have lots of accessories, like 2 or 3 HDDs, Optical Drive, or something like these stuff that could increase temp inside the chassis and take up space. I don't know if I'm going to do some tweak in the processor clock speed, but your idea about reducing core / cache voltage is very good, and I believe it will decrease like 5 to 10 degrees than its normal operation per my knowledge in CPU engineering.

 

I work with big cases and big boys from Lenovo, DELL, IBM, etc, which goes in a CPD rack kkkkkkkkkkk I don't know that much about very small and tiny PC cases hahahaha, even with VGA cards, which is uncommon in Servers. I know the components of a PC I know how to mount, configure, etc the normal knowledge from an IT guy. But tech solutions about issues inside it I really didn't expected before, and now I think I'm getting a bit experienced with hahahahha..

 

Thank you again man.

Hello bro, I came back just to say my gtx1070-OC dual arrived, and I tested on another old PC I have (Pentium dual with Asrock gm31) and I found that the back of the card (where some PWMs, VRMs, and more are soldered) really really gets hot. So I think I'll really need some way to dissipate this heat from the back of the card, firstly to maintain its life-cycle extended and also to avoid any overheat inside the chassis...

 

I'm telling this because I measured some components (with a digital infrared thermometer) from the VGA while it was running a benchmark, and some of the VRMs got 90 to 94 degrees in 100% load operation (without any overclock). I think I really will need to put the front 12mm cooler sending the air to inside of the chassis, however this air will enter cooling the CPU radiator which will be right after the front 12mm fan and will enter a bit warm. I don't know how much this air will be warm, but for sure it will be less than 94 degrees   and may will help to decrease some overheat in the back of the VGA.

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks!

Those temps that you recorded, they were in the larger case? Can you upload a picture of the card and where you were measuring the temps? I have a 1080ti (250 theoretical power draw) and I have never seen/recorded my VRMs hitting that level (and the card comes factory overclocked). What brand is it (EVGA, MSI, etc)?

Hello friend, I measured from the back of the card.It is an ASUS gtx1070-OC dual. I actually don't think they are really VRMs, but more like PWMs, and capacitors. I know they are components made to support more than 100 degrees, but I have some concern by the measure I did.

 

About the case I tested, it is not that good, and it is a micro ATX FF, small but big enough to fit the card in (enough but at the limit of the space I can say). 

Here is a pic of the components I measured, where the ones more at the right side on the pic, are the ones I saw high temps as I said. I also measured the tubes from the heatsink which didn't show anything more than 60. Actually, by the little electronic research I made, the thing that really gets hot are the power components not actually the GPU, due to the fact it is cooled by the heatsink, while the VRMs from the front sometimes use thermal pads, but depending on the card / device, they use nothing.

hmmm, this is where I enter slightly unfamiliar territory as I've never personally measured these zones. I know it is not the answer that you want, but I might want to contact ASUS and let them know the temperatures that you recorded. These may very well be 100% acceptable but I would make sure to contact them and let them know the situation. They're typically very good (though I've found that being able to actually call EVGA 24/7 and immediately speak to a person is quite helpful), but I'd set my time aside to get in contact with someone in technical support. While you create your support ticket, I would repost this specific issue in the graphics card section of the forums. There are a few industry affiliates who frequent that section as well as people more qualified than myself when it comes to monitoring the power delivery modules of GPUs. Those temps don't sound great and may be a malfunction of either your temperature monitoring device or the GPU. 

 

**HOWEVER, as you're running in a hot climate, what do those modules run at while idle? What is the temp in the room? What are you getting in games/whatever you generally run?

This is to come a new build, I tested the game Warface on Ultra 1080p, Components worked between 60-80, but high at 80 were moments. I think the benchmark is a 100% stress in all the areas of the card and due to that I think it is like uncommon while gaming. Because I monitored the GPU, and even while gaming and getting 100% on the GPU, I didn't see those temperatures going on. Maybe it can be related to memories, or the use of it. And I'm kinda satisfied with results while gaming.

80s on a GPU in a warm climate are 100% acceptable! I'd say you're good to go then, unless you're worried about the temps on the VRMs or other!

Hello my Bro, I came back here just o tell you those chips I measured the temp were really PWMs. I didn't find any PCB datasheet from this card to identify the kind of the component, but I confirmed with a video I found on youtube. I thought it would be interesting so I came here to share it with you as you got involved with my concerns about those temps.. (and thank you again for your help, point of view and explanations  ). - >

I will definitely take a look! And no problem! Always willing to help

 

Those were still pretty toasty temps on the PWMs but if they are considered normal (I'd check with manufacturer), then I'd say good to go!

Hello my friend, so Im back again. Finished my build. These are my temps on the processor at 4.3ghz

 

 

Many thanks for all yout help provided. Now I'm going to run some hardware tests and benchmark to see if everything is fine, and that is it.

 

 

Thank you!

Awesome! Good to see and hear that everything is good! Make sure to get some temps at peak load

Yes. Processor at 100%, 4.3ghz, gets 60c. The VGA, when running in 99% load, no overclock it gets 70 to 82c, depending on the game, quality and res. But I believe that is fine as it is an itx build. I "modded" the left side of the chassis, removed the small fan that comes with thr chassis, and put a 120mm fan just on the left side of the board and facing the dimms. I changed the chassis fan on the bios tomwork as turbo settings, so it will run at 60%, when the chassis gets 40c+. And then increase as the temp gets higher. Pump and radiator fan are standard settings. 

 

I think I got good results even I know I need a good work to be done regarding cable management in this chassis. But I'll enjoy the machine a bit right now as I was so excited to finish this build. And then take care of cables some time in the future. 

 

I forgot to tell, I made some dust filters for air intake on all the chassis vents. I know that it may reduce the airflow, but it will avoid dust to enter and get stuck on the components doing them to work even hotter. I'll check the dust after a month using the machine, and then see if it was worth the efforts haha

Oh pshh those are great temps!! I have an i7 8700k at 1.13vcore and 4.5ghz and will hit 80c after 100% load for like 10 minutes. Not worried there. GPU will peak at 78c after intensive loads. No worries there either. You're getting great temps friend! 

 

I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying your build AND with great temperatures (with all items considered)

Yes Bro, Thank you very much! I also setted some more agressive profiles regarding Fans and cooling, and I got temps a lot better. Not much better for the processor, I got it to work at 55c, maximum of 61c, but for the VGA, now it is getting 71 / 72 on 100% load. Here is VGA profile for the fans:

 

This curve setting saved more than 10c on high load at a cost of fan high speed noise (which I don't care haha).

Hello man, how are you? I have just a little doubt. If overclock my i5 8600k from 4.3 to 4.5 or more, will I ruin my intel warranty? Do you know something about it? Thank you again.

Hello man, how are you? I have just a little doubt. If overclock my i5 8600k from 4.3 to 4.5 or more, will I ruin my intel warranty? Do you know something about it? Thank you again.

Oc'ing technically isn't covered by your warranty unless you buy the Performance Tuning Protection Plan from Intel. that being said, settings are saved on your motherboard and there shouldn't be an easy way to tell if your cpu was oc'ed once removed from the socket.

Oc'ing is also fairly safe and there's no worry about damaging your cpu as long as voltages and temps are kept in check. Clock speed doesn't matter in this regard.

Wow many thanks. I'm new to overclock world, you know so I don't wanna mess with this... But I acutally wants to tell my board, do achieve 4.5ghz on the processor and the board does that for me by using the asus tuning profiles or changing some technical setting things that is needed to achieve that. 

 

So, thank you again for the helpful answer!!
