Hi guys 

 

 

I would like to know some different opinions about my setup,  the normal temperature is around 35 degrees and playing GTA V in ultra goes up to 60 or more

 

 

I am thinking of changing the radiator from 240 to one of 360, but I don't know if that helps lower the temperature

please let me know any advice.

 

Thanks

60 degrees is really good...

You should start worrying when it's 90+

First... are all of your fans exhaust? The front rads looks like its pushing air out the front of the case... I would flip that and push air in, and put the larger rad up top with the smaller in front sucking air in. This will slightly raise internal case temps, but right now you have SO much negative pressure it would be well worth that swap. Get 3/5 of the heat going right out the top, 2/5 blowing in from the front, with the rear fan as intake as well. That is how my loop is set up.

 

Also, 60c on what? The CPU? GPU? I assume CPU, my RTX 2080 is usually about 48-52c in games, CPU in the 60's as well @ 5ghz, but I have a 420 45mm top and a 280 60mm in the front.....

 

Your temps are fine, 60c is nothing to worry about, realistically its really good. I would just fix the airflow.

Thanks guys

 

yes the front rad its pushing air out, excuse me but i don´t undertand why the rad should push the air in, would this not increase the internal temperature? I had also thought to change the big rad on the top and the small on the front

 

the temperature of GPU is usually 55c and the CPU around 60-62c and the fans are configured in full speed

The front rad should be an intake, not an exhaust.  Front fans or rads are usually not used as an exhaust.  And where would your intake be in that case?  Hot air rises, so if your intake is only at the top, well...

 

It's the top radiator that can be used as an exhaust (push or pull) or as an intake..

Negative internal pressure is generally just avoided because it doesn't promote proper airflow throughout the case. Core temps will most likely not be significantly effected. 

 

Also. make up ur mind with the tubing lol. right now it looks like the pump room of a pool i used to work at in there.

Thanks dude,

 

Yes the tubes are mixed right now because I'm not good at bending the hard tube and I decided to put a soft tube hahaha
