Blower or Non-Reference Design For Define R4

[nightlitezzz]

As we all know the Define R4 doesn't have the greatest airflow in the world. Will getting a blower styled cooler as opposed to a non-reference design cooler help?

 

EDIT: Sorry if it's posted in the wrong section. Was debating between cases or graphics cards...

I'd say a blower-type cooler would be better, but it depends if your CPU Is going to be air-cooled?

Yea Hyper 212+. Still blower?

More airflow in the case would benefit non-blower type coolers more. Blower type coolers exhaust all air out of the case, non-blower just recycle the air. Non-blower are much better IMO.

It really depends on how you like it, a blower card will get you lower CPU temps because it's exhausting out the back, although and open-air cooler will have much lower GPU temps..
It's completely up to you, i have an Open-Air cooler but my side panel is never on.

tl;dr

Blower = Lower CPU + Higher GPU temps

Non-Blower = Higher CPU + Lower GPU temps -

You decide which is more important to stay cooler.

Interesting. I usually can't cope with high GPU temps. Even 70C makes me cringe. I guess I'll get a non-blower.

i'm the same, hence i went for the open-air cooler in the Gigabyte670 - Good luck with your choice!
And remember, You're better off buying the better GPU than the one lower that's superclocked !
