Hi

 

I have a cooler master enforcer i have stock fan in front and a corsair 80i cooling in push pull config at the back panel for my cpu. Now the enforcer has the space on top for two 120 fans and on 240 fans.

 

When i do a bit of bench marking my cpu is fine at about 40-50 c but my gpu(asus 770 gtx) at 99 load is about 90. Now is this something to worry about it seems a bit high. So i was thinking to get ore fans at top. So the question  is firstly must i get one or two 120 and then must it be push or pull.

 

thanks

90 degrees celcius is high, quite high for any cpu, gpu... What benchmark were you running? (I.e. some are meant to push your gpu to the hottest temps it can get to verify overclocks)

If you're looking for lower CPU temps, you can swap out the stock fans for like, noctuas or another SP fan with good airflow. though, only expect marginally better numbers. More fans wont help the cpu so much., but they will help the mobo and gpu a bit.

Oh wow, i completely managed to read over that somehow, not quite sure how... Still though, 90 degrees on a gpu isn't the best,

The Enforcer is pretty bad for graphics card cooling. Mounting a fan angled towards the graphics card or modding a mount for bottom intake would be much more helpful if you plan to stick with your current case.

I ill have a look and see if something will fit. So the top fans idea push or pull not really going to do anything

Tops fans wouldn't do much to improve graphics card temps.
