H80i In Silverstone Fortress FT02

4Strings · January 3, 2013

Does anybody have any idea as to what kind of temperatures I'll get on an AMD FX-8350 with an H80i mounted to the exhaust on the top of a Silverstone Fortress FT02???

Thanks!

What you ask is quite hard to answer because it depends on many variables. The temperatures that you will get vary based on the cooling configuration of your case, meaning how many fans there are what type. Also average temperatures in the environment of the PC play major role. If you are in a place with lots of heat you will obviously see higher temperatures.

Also overclocking is a factor as is what type of graphics card you have and what type of cooler does it use.

Now after I have clarified all that I can say that I believe that you will get very acceptable temperatures based on the little information that you have provided.

Thanks for the reply!

I was aware of all those factors, but thanks anyway! :) I was just wondering, because I heard that if you put a closed-loop water cooler on an exhaust you cut it's performance by half! I highly doubt that that's true, but I was just wondering. :)
