Cpu temp says 100 degrees in bios

Last night everyone pretty much determined it was most like my cpu cooler. So at this point im not worried about anything else until I get that

Geez thanks bro.

Seeing as they're pointed at the gpu I guess they're keeping that cool. Idk what answer to give you man.

I don't understand why you don't know what answer to give. Pointing at is not the same thing as blowing at. I would assume they are intakes but from here, I cannot tell. That said, if intakes, that graphics card sure would do a good job at blocking the flow.

I don't know what answer to give because I don't know what I'm talking about to be honest.

The case in general seems to stay pretty cool if you ask me. Every other component stays cool. Just not the cpu.

LOL Well I am pretty sure you can tell which way the wind (fan) blows just by feeling for the air movement, right? As I said, I assume they are intakes (blowing "in" to the case) but when you've been in this business for any length of time, you soon learn assuming can bite you in the a$$. I have seen some very unorthodox fan configurations - many of which made no sense at all. And when asked why, the answer is often like, "I read somewhere... ." :rolleyes:

It's blowing out bro.

Really? Well now! See why assuming is not good? Since PSU fans exhaust out the back, and now you have those two bottom fans exhausting down and out, even if your rear fan is pulling air in (and normally they are exhaust out too) then your case cooling is set for negative pressure - and too much of it.

You still need a new CPU cooler but if me, I certainly would flip those bottom fans around so they pulling cool air in. I would even consider moving one to the back (if possible) or top as an exhaust to get more flow.

Have fun installing that Cooler. It is one of the biggest pain in the butt to install.

You sure you're not confusing the 212 Black with the original 212 or the 212 EVO? If you think the Black is hard to install, then you're in for a real good time with 95% of other coolers that aren't Noctua...

Here's a youtube installation guide for the cooler I've had friends follow just in case:

Bill does have a point, but I agree that making sure your CPU cooler issue is taken care of is priority number one. From your picture, it looks like the case is missing the removable front fan mount. From what I can tell, it looks like the bottom fans are set to exhaust air out of the case. This image explains a nice easy way to tell:

The fans are mounted on top of the PSU shroud, so neither drawing air in, nor expelling it.
