Airflow

[Miltos _90]

Hello! I just built my new pc and I have some questions.

Fist of all the parts I got are the following:

CPU:9700x Gpu:7800xt(3 fans) Case:CASE SUPERCASE MARS SERIES MAR01A CPU cooler:BE QUIET! CPU COOLER PURE ROCK 2 BLACK BK007 150W TDP

1. Is the CPU cooler enough for my CPU?

2)I know the case has some crappy airflow especially with the front sealed with glass( has one hole underneath and 2 lines in each side of the panel that draw air in I guess). Will this be a problem in general (should I try to take the glass off) or by installing 3 exhaust fans 1 in the back and 2 on top would solve the problem? Yesterday my CPU got 96 degrees which is bad and ofc without proper airflow.

3)Is there anything to take into account when installing the fans? I got 1 new with rgb and 2 older ones.

If i see your case picture on internet, seems there's airflow holes at the sides of the front glass.

You will want to mount your front fans on the inside of the case so that it has more space between the surface of the fan and the glass panel, if you put it on the outer side of the fan mounting area, it's probably gonna be smack dab against the glass and won't be able to pull any air in.

 

PC cooling need both intake and exhaust, adding more exhaust without proper / enough intake would become useless real fast.

I say yes,

This won't help, on the contrary. I might try the 2 top fans as intake though, if needed.

 

I'd try to live with the bad deed. Undervolt where you can.

I've read a few times here that AM5 chips do run hot.

So I got scammed?

Why do they design these cases if they are full of problems?

And the thing is that most of the cases nowadays are like this.

We don't know for sure. Airflow won't reach the full potential of 3 120mm intake fans but it might be good enough.

(I've got a similar case and I learned to live with it)

Well in that case (pun intended)

I won't hesitate to take off the front panel at all.

Try to do it without breaking anything.

Probably, it won't change much and you might reconsider.

Not just the glass , the whole front panel.

It will expose the fans but meh...

Who cares about aesthetics when the pc gets harmed on the long run

Fine, this is good research. Then you'll know and you can decide.

Ok , I Installed 2 more and now max temp is 80 while gaming at 2k. Is it decent enough?
