I installed corsair sp120 fans to the Hyper212evo. I'm getting much lower temperatures.

So here are the parts in my computer:

  • Intel i5 4670k @ 4.0ghz (1.190v)
  • Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo
  • ASRock Extreme3 z87 
  • 8gb (2x4gb) Crucial ballisitx RAM 1600mhz
  • 120gb Samsung 840 evo SSD
  • 500W Corsair CX semi modular
  • Corsair 300R mid-tower case

The reason I bought these fans was mostly for aesthetic purposes, and for better performance.

 

Here is what my PC looked like BEFORE (with stock fans):

-I was getting Idle temperatures of 37C and max temperatures of 75C under load. 

 

 

Here is what my PC looks like AFTER (with sp120's):

Ambient room temperature is 21C degrees (70F).

performance edition! I set fans speeds to go up according to CPU temperature (35%@40C, 50%@50C, 75%@60C) so they're not very loud, until the CPU is under load. But I don't really mind the sound.

Also where is your GPU?

 

Waiting for the next pay check to buy it! Most likely an R9 280x

This is off topic but if you ever want to get grommets for your 300R the kit for the 350D is compatible. Here's my thread on the subject.

That's awesome! I thought the only grommet's I could buy were the 800D ones that were $16, which was a bit pricey for me.

 

Thanks for showing me, i'm definitely going to get the grommets now.

That's what I thought too. I even asked Corsair support if the 350D kit would work but of course I got the generic "Get the 600T/*00D kit". The kit for the 350D is only $4 plus shipping that's why I picked up the HDD tray upgrade and 2 drive trays since I the shipping wasn't really any different.

Nice idle... is that lowest possible on lowest core or really average after some time on desktop? I mean I get stable 35C on U14S and not making it blow at full speed.

that's the average temperature.  The lowest it gets is 28C sometimes.
