harryhoudini66 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Does anyone have suggestions on the cooling available for the 250D? I know ideally it would be a H100i, which I already have,but I have been having issues with temps. I am still working those out but wondering if anyone has suggestions on air coolers that may work? I am not attached to the 5.25 bay so if that needs to go in order to get a decent cooler, I am fine with it. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahtlon Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Do you have the fans in push and as intake on the h100i? Other wise I don't know if there is a other option, the inside of the 250D has limitations with space. A normal air cooler want help, the only option I see is a h100i with the fans as intake. Also if you have a amd card, then you have to keep in mind that these get a lot hotter then the nvidia's one's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word of Madness Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I know ideally it would be a H100i but I have been having issues with temps. I'm a little confused here. Do you have an H100i and find that it isn't performing well, or are you having issues with temps from the stock Intel/AMD cooler, and are looking for an upgrade that would ideally be an H100i? If it's the former then there could be an issue with your unit. What are the temps like? If it's the latter, then have a look at the NH-12L or AXP200. Even something like a Shuriken would do all right if you weren't planning to overclock much. There are big semi-low profile air coolers like the NH-C14 and PC-TC14CS, but it looks like the top fans would be so close to the top panel that they'd be starved for air and pointless, and I can't imagine their performance with a single fan being much better than than the cheaper NH-12L. You could probably also fit in an NH-U9B or similar sized cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegotico Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 could you be more specific, as what you have now on the 250d and how (direction of air flow on everything and which fans)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryhoudini66 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thank you everyone. The issue is resolved. Yes, I do have the H100i and was having issues with the temp. The problem was the support bracket fitting loose due to the motherboard being a little thinner. I installed some washers and that resolved the issue. Temps are normal now considering this is for a Haswell. Side note: For those asking, I changed the stock fans to Noctuas and set them up on the radiator as exhaust. The PC is now very quit and temps are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
