Evening all
Just got rid of my Zalman GS1000 and Scythe Mugen in favour of a Lian Li PC-A05NB and Corsair H60.
Obviously the reverse ATX setup of the case doesn't lend itself too well to the cooler - intake being at the rear (and where the H60 rad and fan would be situated) and exhaust at the front.
When I have the H60 fan pushing air through the radiator into the case the temperatures soar so quickly it often shuts off before it gets into windows.
I've tried a push/pull but I imagine this only works properly with 2 identical fans? I've tried with a couple of different ones (the H60 actually came with some bright blue 120mm fan free, so used that with the Corsair one) but that didn't improve.
I have stable temps of 40-50 degrees with the H60 fan exhausting out the back (pulling air through) however that also nackers airflow in the case itself.
Is there any ideal setup in this instance?
