len_dale Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi all Ive been trying to find the correct mounting direction for the h80i fans to get me system its best cooling. currently I have the rear fan (closest to the case) with the blades facing -> and the front fan facing -> too. my system hits 40 very quickly and will not cool down. and sounds like jet after a few mins of use. Ive tried fans other way etc but cant seem to get the right optimal cooling. also i have 3 fans on my motherboard (all corsair) but the corsair link will only pick up 2 off from the motherboard and even shows another fan running at over 2000rpm constantly even if i manually stop all fans .

sandstorm1 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 what size fans and what case are you running? I run a cooler master haf and have intake on the front and side, exhaust from the top through a corsair h100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 its best to experiment to see what works best for you and your components. probably a good rule of thumb is 60% cfm intake with 40% exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len_dale Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Im running an AMD chip too sorry. A corsair c200 case. the h80i has the standard fans that come with it. and 2x Corsair Air Series AF120 LED Red Quiet Edition High on the top of the case. the issue i have is no matter what way i point the fans on the h80i i just cant seem to get it to cool below 40 deg and it sounds like a jet even when I set fans to quiet on the corsair link.

wytnyt Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 the link wont regulate fans connected to the m/b ,only those connected to the hydro unless you have the new link mini when you say 40c,,is this the idle,,,the load.,temp of cpu,water or?...

len_dale Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'll upload a pic from my link setup But CPU temp is at 40 when under slight load Mbp temp starts at 32 and get to 40 quick So would you say to buy another y cable and plug my case fans into that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
