CPU temps went up after installing exhaust fan.

AngryMonkey_

I have a Ryzen 5 3600 with a stock cooler (Saving up for a cooler), a Phanteks Eclipse P360A case with 2 Phanteks sk120 fans in front for intake and one cooler Master sickleflow 120mm fan at the rear for exhaust.

 

I bought the Cooler Master fan a day ago and noticed my temps at idle went from 34oC to 40oC after putting it in.

I did read that sometimes installing an exhaust fan could get rid of some of the cold air around the cpu cooler and I know the best way to lower cpu temps is going for an aftermarket cooler which I will do eventually.

In the meantime, does anyone have any recommended fan curves I could use to get my temps down as well as make the pc quieter in some way?

34-40C idle is still within normal range. You should check what your load temps are and you have to customize the fan curve to your noise and temperature you are willing to tolerate if you want something quieter before getting an aftermarket cooler.

Thats a downdraft cooler, your probably pulling the cool air in front of the cpu downdraft cooler away from it

I could use some help with this!
