While doing what? Or just randomly? Was your CPU running very hot?

>>61752457
Why did you remove the top HDD bays and 5.25 bays? It did nothing but just make the case look broken or incomplete. I have the same case and who cares if you have some empty bays?

>>61752544
while gayming cpu runs well into 60s, sometimes up in 70s. Dishonored 2 and PUBG would crash sometimes, after 30 mins or an hour into session.
It's quite interesting that it's only one core doing that, I ran it for over 4 years like that and it's started this behavior only now.

>>61752587
Placebo airflow increase. Like to have as little in the case as possible.

>>61752544
>>61752617
also, I ran prime for over an hour before downclocking and it gave didn't yield any errors or WHEAs

>>61752617
That's odd. 60s and 70s isn't scorching hot for Ivy bridge intel chips. I had an FX-6300 that I ran at 5.1ghz, 60C for several years (AMD max safe temp was 62C) and never suffered any core errors.

Odd that randomly just started like that.

>>61752618
downgrade to an matx board and get a smaller case then. Big case like the Fractal R5 with all its bays and room looks dumb when all the shit is taken out of it.
>>61752647
Yea sometimes even prime95 can't replicate problems.

>>61752688
I may just delid once I get to cleaning the case thoroughly. It may even unlock some more overclocking potential, because my chip proved a bad overclover.
62C for an AMD chip doesn't seem like a max temp, where did you get that info from? FX9590 was 4.7GHz out of the box and would run well into 80s and work like that.

>>61752741
When I still had that AMD chip, I was part of the overclockers DOT com forum. They all said to not exceed 62C with AMD chips unless you wanted damage to the chip. And if your 9590 was hitting 80C out of the box, you weren't cooling it properly.

>>61753171
how is the H80i? I have a possibility of getting a hands-me-down, barely used one. Does it perform better than, let's say, 212 evo?

>>61753223

I think it does. I had an artic cooling 64 pro before and this does better than that. The old one was similar in design to the 212 evo. These things aren't supposed to last more than a few years though so you might wanna look into age. Someone said 5 years at max before changing em out.

>>61754998
for what reason? I Also have a 980ti. Mine is a classified model and it does 1570mhz with only the smallest of voltage bumps. Unless you're looking to push 144fps at 1440p, what reason do you have to try and sell that 980ti.

That and the thing you can change is the radiators. And their fan directions. Right now you're dumping hot air back INTO your case. You can always turn the top fans around to bring air into the case, and have the fans pull that air through the radiators and pushed outside the case. Lastly, turn the radiators so their tubes are on the top, not the bottom. Most AiO makers recommend doing this as it puts less stress on the pump.

>>61752763
is that an internal usb 3.0 header? cool but why?

>>61755242
USB OS drives

>>61755200
This radiator configuration has the best performance. I tested them all. Both the front and back radiators are in takes and the hot air is sucked out of the top two 120mm fans. The reason the front fans are on the "wrong" side of the rad is because air in take in the front of the p400 already needs static pressure just to get it in and if I put the rad and the front of the case between those 2 fans and the outside air cpu temps rise. This set up works great.
I want to sell the 980ti because I've had it for a year and it's still worth what I paid for it but it won't be for long. Once 1070 perf can be had from a $200 card next gen I'll effectively be losing money when if I sell it now and buy something like a vega it'll hold it's value longer.

>>61755242
not that anon, but having a USB port inside the case does help with things. Have an external drive laying around that you want to use as a main storage drive? Plug it in and keep it in the case.

That or if you're a server person, you can plug a couple rPi's into the ports.

>>61755290
eh I don't care about resale value of a PC component when I get it. I keep my stuff as long as possible. Does the card still do what you want it to? Why get rid of it?

And OK, I guess as far as the fan configurations. But flipping the radiators around point still stands. Their pumps should last longer.

>>61755339
Corsair and evga both say the tubes should be going into the button of the rad so that air bubbles get trapped in the "reseviour" on the top of the rad though?
The other upside here is there is great air flow going over the motherboard and lets me use a 1.45v setting on my b-die which lets me do ddr4-3733 cl17.
If you keep a component until it's worthless you lose money and eventually it won't be able to do what you want it to do as games become more graphically demanding. If you time your resell and pick your new hardware well you will always have top of the line performance. It doesn't make sense to drive hardware into the ground to me.
I'm also selling my 6600k before it takes yet another hit in value. I should have done so as soon as ryzen reviews came in(value dropped then) but now I won't be able to until after cfl-s which is going to make it worth like $90.

>>61755396
I'm tool lazy to read yalls chain of posts

but that config in picrelated is fucking dumb as a god eating his own shit.

GPU rad should ALWAYS ALWAYS be exhaust. It's disappating WAY more heat than the CPU rad and your components are cooking.

Make the GPU rad exhaust. It's not like you'll lose possitive pressure in doing so. Just do it.

>>61755451
No. GPU temps and motherboard temps go up. Tried it.

>>61755502
I'd love to know your testing methodology. Because I have a very similar setup and it's quite the opposite.

>>61755502
>>61755527
Never mind. I see the difference now. I have an s340, it's only got one fan at the top and two intakes on the front, and the front is the only place for the 240mm RAD.

That shit is bogus. What ever like I give a shit. My 1080 Ti never gets over 55c. And it only started hitting those temps after I overclocked my 4790k to 4.8GHz.

>>61755527
>>61755572
Of course I'm not a fucking pro or anything I just stressed the cpu and gpu and watched hwmonitor. But yeah it's probably because I have the two fans up top pulling the air out. I'm just barely maintaining positive pressure I think, the front panel on the p400 absolutely shits on the amount of air those 3 fans are moving.

>>61755597
You're sucking air bubbles through your pump. The bump on the other side of the radiator is a reservoir designed to trap air bubbles.
Nice camera, it catches the lighting well. In my p400 I run the light strips on both sides of the front rad.

You flip the radiator so the tubes are going into the bottom.
Look at both sides of the radiator. There is a "bump" thats actually a reservoir. The end with the tubes going into it needs to be at the bottom so that the air bubbles in the system can caught at the opposite end.
tl;dr: tubes go into BOTTOM end

Poo fans are good although they ruin aesthetics and the AMD stock fans are pretty good

>>61756404
eh. Poo fans are good but over-rated imo. $25-$30 per fan and there are others out there that perform just as well. Just seems a waste to me. If those noctuas were the 3k RPM industrial fans, I'd say different.

I use Cougar Vortex 120/140mm PWM fans. Less than $20 new for the 140mm's.

>1000W PSU

What the hell are you doing with that thing? I get it has 2-way SLI but that generally shouldn't use more than 750W.

>>61760812
it puts a lower load on the psu and it runs cooler. people like you know nothing about headroom or common sense. you should keep your whore mouth shut

>>61760880
dont forget the drop in output as a PSU ages

>>61760213
The stuff I play works well enough on the 7970, even in 4k when reducing settings a bit. I mostly use my PC for work due to lack of time. Also, the AMD offerings this spring didn't really seem that thrilling compared to the 7970, so I spent my money differently.

Went from a Phenom II 965 and DDR2 to this, the Bulldozer-based stuff was never worth considering really. Going to see what Vega brings to the table, might get a Vega 56, if only so that I can move the 7970 over to my old PC that's lacking modern GPU entirely now (4870 in it now).

>>61760224
Paint your DVD drive and card reader white please.

>>61760880
>and it runs cooler
most PSUs have shitty efficiency at low load though
so in fact it will be warmer
not that it matters too much for a good PSU (up to 500W they can even dissipate heat passively)

>>61760948
you don't get a 1000W psu and not have it be a platinum/titanium rating one

>>61760955
Once again, look at efficiency curve for a platinum 500W and a platinum 1000W.
Depending on your power draw 1000W can in fact be less efficient (and so be hotter) than 500W.

>>61760979
>>61760955
not that it's a big difference nowadays (a few % of difference between 20% load and 50% load iirc)
just you won't necessarily get lower temps when using higher output PSU

Actually, most PSUs have highest efficiency between 50 and 80% load, so your 1000W PSU will run slightly warmer than a smaller PSU. The heat generated in the PSU purely comes from its own losses, nothing else.
