Thank you for showing me this. Now if there is one for cooling, hand the link over. Nao.
Why thank you.
There's a lot of theory and generic parts choosing advice in my thread, but the important sections for you are the following:
Stop obsessing about temperatures.
How to make your current rig more quiet
Read those parts, comprehend what I am trying to say, be enlightened and come back a wiser man.
For cooling, see what Fallengod said:
It is only necessary to cool a computer to the point where its within threshold and not overheating.
If your GPU fans are on AUTO, then it doesn't matter how many fans you stuff in your case. Your GPU will still hit the temperature that it already is under load. Why? Because that's the temperature it is set to hit. If temperatures go above the GPU fan spins faster. If temperatures go below, GPU fans spin slower. The only way to get your GPU fan quieter is to manually set a static speed, or (if possible) set up a fan profile different from what is set in firmware. Of course this means slowing down the maximum that the fan hits, which will cause higher load temperatures, which can then be lowered with better case ventilation. However, you may be just moving noise from one source to another, though with 120mm case fans the noise may go down a bit, especially if your GPU fan is a blower type. I don't think it is.
Do replace your "Diablotek PSU with two 80mm fans." Bad quality and probably adds a bit of noise.
I was reading reviews which stated that the Hyper212+ managed to keep an AMD1090T under 35 degrees Celsius during full load.
I call shens on this. I would believe 35ºC when idling, but that is not a realistic load temperature even with high end water cooling. Okay, normal high end, not aigomorla high end. :whiste: To put it succinctly, I do not believe "35ºC during full load" about a Hyper 212+, especially under "normal" conditions (normal room temperature, inside a normal case).
