Corsair H45

Hello.

 

Bought a new cooler to replace my low profile noctua cooler, bought a temporary H45 Corsair cooler (cheapest of them all).

 

Had it for two days now, I see that my CPU temps are steady between 43-53c when playing, depending on game, Which used to be around 60-76c, relief that it went down few degrees atleast, but then, AI Suite3 OC'd my 7700K to 4.5GHz because it read that my PC could handle such.. Somehow..

 

But now, for you others that have radiators, is it common to have hot air blowing out from it? Using the stock fan that came with the H45 which I read used to be quite noisy and bad overall, might apply my Noctua fan there instead, to see if more hot air comes out or not.

Hot air comes out of radiators, yes. That's normal. the PC needs to vent heat somewhere.

Yes, that I know, just never thought it'd be that hot! As I got 2 in-take fans at the front and Three that blows out, being two on the roof of my case, and the fan infront of the radiator.

If you have 2 intake and 4 exhaust you should definitely swap your config. At the very least have it neutral, or have the rad + 1 other fan exhaust and everything else intake.

Well, depending on your OC, it's 100W+ of energy, over a 120mm space, so it's gonna be hot.
