Hello everyone,

I hope all is well.

 

I am considering buying two fans or any other solutions posted here. I have the NZXT H100 case and airflow sucks. I will not change the case, I like it, I rather work around it. What fans are the quietest I can get, I don't mind RGBs but they need to be dark fans to go with the bottom of the case. The placement for these fans will be underneath the GPU to provide more airflow to the GPU. My apartment sits at around 20-22C (68-72F). My 3900X does't go past 70C and sits at around 62 while my 5700XT sits at around 74 but the fans are blowing at 80% capacity and the noise is BAD. I have tried open case and the GPU fans will spin at just 55-60% while temps are 70C so it is definitely the lack of airflow when case is closed.

 

This is my system: 

 

2020:AMD Ryzen 3900X | XFX 5700XT | 2TB m.2 | 32GBDDR4 @ 3200MHz | Corsair CX750M | ASUS X570 Strix | NZXT H100

 

2013:AMD FX-8350 @ 4.62GHz ~ 5.2GHz | XFX R9 290X 2x Crossfire | (x4) 2TB HDDs in RAID1 | 16GBDDR3 @ 1866MHz | GS800 | NZXT 810

having to use the warm air from the radiator doesnt help much either tbh

 

adding a fan on the PSU shroud wont do much, since there's no fresh air intake there

but it does blow the hot air up into the CPU compartment.

 

you could try undervolting your CPU/GPU? see if it helps

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

My CPU runs sits at around 70-80W while my GPU sits at around 180-200W when gaming, 21:9 aspect ratio and ultra setting all the time. I think those are good numbers. I will try to undervolt my GPU and see although I don't think it will decrease much from the numbers I get. On the other hand, having the case open to when is closed shows HUGE improvements, however, open case and dust get along very well.

 

I like how the fans you suggested look, $50 for two... doesn't seem a bad idea to try, I can always return if no improvements. :)

this is because of the radiator up front

1) it blocks airflow

2) it spews warmed air into the case

3) that case doesnt have good intake to begin with @~@

Let's put it this way. I am too lazy to change it, besides I like the case. When Ryzen 4000 are released then I will have change the case given that I will already be working on the PC regardless. What case would you suggest for airflow?

 

I used to have a NZXT Switch 810 and had like 12 fans on that PC :D
