My 965 BE Idles at 58 degree C

Hello,

I installed my H50 today, it was pretty simple.

On start up The temps were about 45 idle.

I'm back after 5 hours and the system is idling at 58.

There is no overclocking done.

What might be the problem here?

The case is placed against a wall, would that be a problem.

Also, Which would be the best place for the cooler master 120mm fan which came with the elite 310.

Thanks!

Looking at the elite 310 on new egg I'm guessing you have the fan on the H50 as an exhaust and the only intake is the one in front of the HDDs? My guess is that it needs more air. Do you have a fan on the side panel? If you have an extra fan put it on the side panel as an intake. You can also try reversing the back exhaust fan as an intake and then using the side panel fan as an exhaust. If you don't mind modding the case you can make a top exhaust on the top panel then you can use the rear fan as an intake as well.

Hello,

The H50 fan is set up as an intake. The other fan was on the side panels, but i put it in the front of the hdd's today.

I just made holes in the plywood where the exhaust is, to get some ventilation.

Its idling at 46 now. The front fan pushing air out, the h50's fan in and the smps out.

 

I got the h50 for a quite pc and i won't be overclocking.

 

THanks

where do you have Plywood?And get a new case because everything seems to be running pretty hot in your computer,not only the H50.

Mine temps are like this idle in my case and I dont even have the fans on high.

@SeanG The plywood is where the exhaust and intake of the psu/h50 is.

I just drilled a few holes in it and it idles at about 51 now.

Any other solution than changing the case?

Thanks

This plywood thing has got me wondering. Can you please post a picture of it. As far as i can tell you seemed to make a mount bracket out of a piece of plywood?

@Killer, I will post a picture to elaborate where the pc is kept tomorrow,

30 minutes playing dirt 2 and the temp went to 62.

 

I'd like to know, should the back of the elite 310 get a lot of ventilation, I guess what's happening here is the PSU which is above the h50 intake is pushing out the heat which is i guess taken in by the h50's fan.

The drilled holes aren't helping.

Here's how the case is placed:

[update] I Turned it around here are the temps with air conditioning on set at 16 d

Without the a/c, idle temp ranges from 40-42. A 10 minute load went to about 55.

 

I guess problem's solved, all i had to do was turn it around!
