Hey guys,

 

My build:

Ryzen 2700x cooled by DeepCool Captain EX360

ASUS RTX 2080 Dual OC

2x 3200 MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX Ram

Fractal Design Define R6

 

Today I felt like my PC deserved something fresh and since I had few Noctua fans left so I changed the layout thinking it's gonna improve (or at least be similar) but unfortunately it's just a bit worse and I'm wondering if I missed something. This is how I currently have it setup inside my case:

2x Noctua NF-A14 140mm Fans as intake, front of the case.

1x Fractal Design 140mm Fan (Define R6 stock) as intake, bottom of the case.

DeepCool 360mm rad w/ 3x120mm fans as exhaust, top of the case.

1x Fractal Design 140mm Fan (Define R6 stock) as exhaust, back of the case.

Plus I changed my paste to Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

 

While I'm writing it my CPU is 4-8% usage and Ryzen Master reports: https://i.imgur.com/ht2bLma.png

^ This usually jumps between 40-60 while on idle, depends how much it boosts, as far as I understand this is normal for 2700x, right?

I wonder if these temps are fine but I also do wonder if I should change my fans setup somehow. Maybe changing from 2x 140mm Noctua fans on the front to 3x120mm of something more powerful would do the trick? I could also move the rad to the front and change it to intake(though I like the look of the top rad), and get some 120mm fans for top exhaust. What do you guys think?

 

Thanks

Not sure is it me only but pics which you uploaded are so blurry I can’t see anything. 
Idle temps looks a bit high to me , what about temps when you playing? Is your cooler mounted properly? Making good contact with cpu? Rest of the setup (fans layout) looks good to me

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick 

 

Steam Deck OLED 512gb , all other pc’s are gone

I will check today if the cpu is seated properly. What about the front fans, would you change Noctua to something with better performance (for me personally Performance > Acoustics)
