badkarma3059 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just wanted to get some opinions on air flow for the 650D. Currently I have it configured as follows. All HDD racks have been removed with SSD in optical bay. Coolermaster mega 200 flow replacing from intake fan. H100I mounted up top in place of stock 200 fan, with H100i fans exhausting air outside the case. Rear stock 120 fan also on exhaust. I was thinking with the HDD racks removed the unrestricted air flow from the mega from would provide enough to for a cool column of air to go thru and out, keeping the gpu (msi GTX560 twin frozer) cool. Makes sense in my mind, but it’s been a while since I have built a comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Really all you can do is experiment as each situation will be different. But if your temps are okay I wouldn't worry about it. But if your CPU temps are a little higher than what you would like I would suggest flipping the fans on the h100 around so they are getting the coolest air possible through the radiator.

badkarma3059 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well set it up in that config and ran it. Even with prime for six hours with stock speed on the 3770k the temps were 46-53-52-48. Seems good considering the two warmer cores are the ones right in the middle close to each other. idle temps are low 20's As for the gpu, doing the torture tests and benchmarking with MSI Kombustor it never went over 60. looks like I have a keeper with this case. Great forum. lots of good people here and useful information. I'll be sticking around :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
