Cooling Problems

[GBELILREESE]

Hello hope you guys are having a good day.

 

My case right now is a really cheap case with poor air flow that can only fit one fan in there, and I leave it open. I decided to purchase a new case with 3 fans, I do plan on installing 4 fans along with a custom cpu cooler.

 

My gpu is an RX 480 4gb with two fans, and an I5 6500 not k 3.2 ghz. 

 

 

 

Temps I get while playing war thunder. The room feels very hot often when I play pubg/r6/warthunder or any type of game on steam or ubisoft. The room gets very hot and I even sweat when beside this pc after 2 hours of gaming. 

 

The question I had was if I was to install these fans and a new case, would that really change anything? Do you guys have any suggestions as well?

Your temps will get better but the room temp will stay the same since the PC is dumping hot air into the room. Open a window or leave the door open, get yourself a fan if you're sweating.

Any suggestions on fans or will any regular fan from Homedepot will do?

 

Also how much better will they get, will there be a huge difference or not much of one?

Just choose whatever.

 

Depends how you set it up but you will see an improvement by a few degrees. 2 intake fans and 2 exhaust fans is what I'd setup.

I can relate lol

 

But... A S340 isn't going exactly to lower your temps, since, you know, it has a huge plastic panel covering the whole front and preventing the fans from sucking fresh air, yeah there's that tiny detail.

Sorry to burst the bubble but that case is kinda the type of stuff a ~60 yr old dad would buy to his teen son for xmas just because it "looks cool"

 

 

if you want some lower temps get a case with decent airflow or keep the cheap one you already have

about the fans, cheap ones work but are usually really noisy, get them if you don't mind that or you have headphones. my personal choice would be 2 front intakes and only the rear fan for exhaust, I'd look for a case with no top exhausts, a mesh front with no filters would be the ideal

 

something like this, sure it looks absolutely f*cking horrible but at the same time is able to keep cool an overclocked FX CPU and a 290x card under 85C at 100% load which is kind of a miracle considering the amount of heat that thing generates while playing a game

 

they don't make cases like that anymore

 

and what about this one

but that doesn't means isn't ready to game with an air cooled 7700k and a 780Ti SLI (friend's case)

 

you can't put good looks and decent airflow in a single case imo

Are those temps max under load or gaming? They are already good. You can even get better GPU temp by adjusting fan curve. 30% is rather low speed for load. That's about my idle fan speed.

Your temps are fine. If your room is too hot, better cooling in your system won't make a difference. Cool your room by opening a window / door and using a room fan.

BUMP

 

 

But I managed to fix it by getting a new case and some new fans thanks for the help folks!
