umm yah i know.. i m on 3.8ghz idle @39C.. passed superpi 32m, but when running p95 or occt... temp goes up to 90C............ LOL so i just need watercooling and i m sure i can hit 4.0ghz First post updated! |
Seems interesting. My own Hyper 212+ isn't doin so great either. at 1.3Vcore at 3.8, thing goes to tjmax and throttles so I'm considering water too or maybe a couple remounts. |

Same thing as mine! i dont know if my chip is hot or i really have no idea how to mount hyper 212+..tried 3 line couple of times and didnt work... so i went for my first watercooling.. :punk: |
Question!! 1. If i install my rad on the top with push pull config, should i take in air from outside or blow air to outside? 2. Which jet plate should i use? should i just use the one that they put in there, or change to one of the other plates?? thanks! |
Heat has a natural tendancy to rise, so work with that dynamic and allow the fans to push air up through the rad and out of the case- it will result in an overall cooler system. The air might be a tiny bit warmer that you're sending up through the rad when taking air from in the case, but the flow will be improved when working with the heat gradient, and warm air won't be concentrated in the case and warming up other components. |
