2600k High Temps/Corsair H60

[badnewcastle]

So the fans are supposed to air out of the case, right? I've seen some pictures of systems where the fans appear to be blowing air into the case. Seems like that would blow hot air off the radiator and into the rest of the case causing temps to rise even more. I want to RMA and buy the H100 when it's available...

I'm not sure about the H60 but with the H50 , corsair recommends that the radiator fans act as an intake.

I've never tried using it as exhaust, but my temps overclocked to 4.6 are excellent using it as a push pull , with the radiator fans acting as intake on a CM 932.

I'm curious now, does corsair recommend the fans used as intake with the H60? I've personally only used the 50.

2500k will run a LOT cooler, HT is a heat monster. The reason that temps are so much more reasonable during gaming/typical high usage patterns is that HT isn't coming into play.

Not really the case

Don't care what that link says, that statement is true.
Anyone who actually owns a 2600k knows this and can prove it easily just by disabling HT and watching their load temps drop by about 5c - 10c.
