My 9900k build... finally put it together

[MJG]

I finally put my 9900k build together

 

It's not O.C. yet running at about 28 c idle 

 

H150i pro with stock corsair fans, phanteks p600s case with the 3 stock phanteks fans included

 

Front of case 2 fans pulling in, top case 150i pulling in and rear of case 1 fan blowing out

 

Temps seem good or any suggestions for better?

 

This is also running corsair fans in normal mode performance mode drops idle down to around 22 c

 

Also one other question my aorus master mother board in easy mode shows that intel rapid tech is turned off should I have installed the preinstalled intel rapid storage drivers and had this turned on or does this only need be done if using optane? I am running a nvme boot drive and 2 ssd's for storage

Five fans intake and one exhaust, seems odd. What are motherboard and gpu temps like?

To be honest I didnt change the case fans it's how they came stock the h150i pump corsair said on the top pulling air in was the reccomended setup

 

Case fans I didnt touch

 

Mobo temps seem to be ok and GPU is fine as well... i need to fire it up and get exact temps for you guys

 

It's an aorus master btw...

 

With that being said what would you reccomended for fan config

 

If I didnt already say this case is a phanteks p600s

Generally front and bottom fans are intake with rear and top exhaust. This establishes a single direction for air to flow through the case. It also tends to be balanced.

 

In the P600S I would of probably mounted the H150i as front intake with nothing on the top.

 

It would be interesting to learn the stable temps you get under load.

I did a stress test with Intels software with all cores hitting 4.7 ghz again I havent overclocked yet and it does ramp all cores to 5ghz without oc 

 

I was hitting no more than 58c under full load... good, decent, or terrible

 

I dont really have to option to leave nothing at the top... theres room for up to 480mm in front 380 at top or 360 I forget... and just the one fan for rear 

 

Unless I'm a moron and theres more mounting I missed lol

58C at load is good, especially if that is a stable temp after running at full load for 15 minutes or so.

 

Why can the top not be left free of fans? If you feel that strongly about it, move the two stock fans from the front to the top.

yeah that was at load for 30 min

 

and so what I would just have fans on the front of the case and back? so the radiator and rear exhaust and no where else

[brob]

Yes, that is how I would have initially set it up. But since you are getting good temps, I doubt it worth changing.

Ok cool, I guess well see how it does when I OC to 5 or 5.1 on all cores.... what would you say.. around 64 ish? is that what I should be aiming for? you think adding an extra fan or different fans will help much?

[brob]

Additional fans probably will not make much of a difference. Doing so can even negatively affect airflow if the new fans create dead spots.

 

For the most part changing fans will not radically improve temperatures. One may find fans that are as good but quieter and that may be desirable.
