Cooling

[NJMevec]

So I'm running a BitFenix Prodigy case, 3570K overclocked to 4.2 GHz cooled by an H80i and a R9 295x2 also water cooled. I have the huge 200mm front fan pulling air in the front, the two 120mm fans up top pulling air in (through the rads) and the one 120mm pulling air out the back. My CPU is hitting temps of 82 on BF4 and up to 86 on Arma 3. I don't want to lower my graphics settings to ease the stress. If I blow the rad air out on the GPU and CPU and switch the rear 120 to blow air in I think it should fix it, however then the GPU blower fan will be a little wonky. Any ideas?

Wow .. all intakes with no exhausts?

Use the top fans for exhausts

Switch the rad fans to exhaust and the back fan to intake

Back fan is the exhaust.

That's what I'm planning. My GPU is a blower though and wouldn't the air pressure mess with that? Or just say screw it and do it anyway?

It should be just fine.

Sweet thanks. I never used water on GPU or had one that got this hot. I run Battlefield 4 at 1920x1080 60Hz Ultra settings nice wide FOV and 180% resolution at a steady 80fps. This is off an ASUS 4Gb 680 that I just ran on high with the wide FOV and I'd get 57-58 FPS and the card wouldn't get very hot.
