malefactor posted:you look like you need one of these I have the same case as him with the same cpu cooler (that's an H50 I think, except I'm running a push/pull setup) and I didn't even know these existed. Thanks for this!

malefactor posted:I have no idea where I heard of it but its really a useful product. My case originally had rear intake for the cpu but I wanted a more traditional front to back airflow so it was perfect for changing that. I'm running a similar setup to yours, but without the 120 mm in the front 5.25 inch bays. I've also got my side 120 fan setup as intake instead of exhaust to feed the o/c'ed 4870x2 because of the lack of an intake fan in the top 'heat zone'. It seems to help the card with the temps on mine a bit as opposed to mounting it the other way. I also had to rig the other fan on the back side of the case for the radiator since the stupid NB/mosfet heatsinks kept me from stacking fans. Negative pressure here as well.

malefactor posted:edit: you dont have this problem since your rear exhaust is your cpu cooler. Air can come in the top and out the back and its just more fresh air cooling the cpu. Yeah, your setup makes sense. I also made the comment because Lian Li installs these side fans as exhaust from the factory (at least on mine and a few others I've dealt with). It's usually the way most people set it up on air cooling. quote:Rivetuner excessively cools my gpu so I dont really worry about it. I wish. 60C at idle and 82C at load with the side fan as intake. Set it as exhaust and it's close to 90C. This is partly because it's just a hot running card/overclocked and also because I've disabled Powerplay in an attempt to stop some of the annoying microstuttering I'm getting in some games. It's helped quite a bit for me personally, but for some people it seems to make no difference. Then there's plenty of people who don't get any stuttering at all.

malefactor posted:Yeah, I used to use Rivatuner on my old X1950XT, and it disables Powerplay by default anyway. It's a nice o/c app and I had forgotten about it, so I'll definitely look into it when I get home. Thanks for reminding me.
