The best stress test is a real-world test. Say a Sony Vegas render then watch those temps. I think some CPU burn-in test are far too beyond what goes on in the real-world and would damage it. If it pass the test then OK but the chip really significantly degraded if it's at the upper-limit...
I put it together. Temps down to 26C and higher 74C. My other cooling setup could keep it at 70C but the fans were working way faster and ultra load but only 2 instead of 3 fans.
I don't think it should be very restrictive. I have more restriction on the current watercooling setup I have now but the air draw is like quadruple maybe. I haven't put together the case because I'm waiting on my non-conductive thermal paste. I choose not to use conductive so I can make...
This is what I was doing for years now it's time to do it this way as having a custom setup requires a top-off and algae and other things start to happen inside because when the air comes into the "closed" system there is moisture then after the coolant additives break down other bad things...
Any fan in the entire world will dust up. Stuff falls from outer space and spreads out and it collects that dust. It collects dead skin dust. It collects carpet dust. It collects dust from outside that goes onto the clothing. Unless you have a super clean room and body, there is no way it...
I mean, it will get air in some how because of the 14.7 air pressure even with no intake fan. Air will still be drawn in because the air gets pushed out the top and the back. Most of the air gets trapped in the top and back of the case. They still get dirty. All fans get eventually dirty...
Isn't the air going up instead of down? Sure airflow will be somewhat restricted but it would be more restricted when dust gets trapped in between the fan and the radiator. Cleaning that up is a huge hassle as most of the dirt cannot be cleaned easily off the fans. Having it trapped on the...
is to add these grills!!! to prevent the dust from forming on the fans from extreme prolong use!
I have to get screws for the rear though! I didn't use the thick plastic ones because it would require longer screws and getting it slightly wrong could damage the fins.
You do realize you can get an i7-6600k, a $60 motherboard, and use everything you have on it including the DDR3? The PSU, the HDD, except any IDEs. You will have to anyway when you realize the performance to drive VR is required.
