Heat Output

[saladcrack]

Hello all,

I have posted previous topics about a build I am planning and have gotten replies about certain components outputting a high amount of heat. Namely the R9 390 and the i7 4790k I want to put into a Fractal Design Node 304.

My question(s) is how much heat do these put out and should I even worry about that? Also with the possible high temps I know there is also the noise factor but is it really that bad that my fans will be running full speed while planning say Rainbow Six Seige? Or Total War: Attila? I see those as kind of demanding games, not Arma 3 level thought. Anyway is heat output a problem with those components? If so what should I use (CPU cooler, etc.) to reduce the heat but keep noise down as well? Or what replacements would you recommend?

The 390 sure, the 4790k with a decent cooler doesn't put out much.

It all depends on what kind of cooling components you have (i.e. what kind of coolers), and your noise levels will depend on the fans.

The case has two 92 mm front fans and a single rear 140 or 120 mm and my CPU cooler will probably be a Noctua one.

Just for reference, cooling components don't affect heat output, only temperature.

CPU cooler will be silent. If your case fans came with the case, chances are they'll be shitty and loud.

Are you concerned with hardware temperatures, or room temperatures? Example, water cooling will make the room just as warm as an air cooler, but it'll keep your components nice and cool.
Things can get pretty toasty no matter what kind of case or cooling solution you're using. Unless you go for something crazy, say, moving the heat outside the building on a water cooling loop. But that'd be silly.

I'm more concerned with hardware temps than room temps because I can just crack a window or something.

Just keep an eye on your temps?

The cooler does not change the heat output of any device (wattage is wattage), it is nothing more than a mechanism for heat transfer, moving the heat away more effectively, and keeping the device running at a lower operating temperature.

 

A more efficient cooling solution may actually lead to greater heat production - because it lets you run more power through the device (ie. an overclock) than you might otherwise be able to do.

A Sapphire Nitro with proper ventilation won't be an issue
MSI 390 is also fine
XFX and PowerColor run a bit warmer but also manageable

Asus and Gigabyte would crash and burn
