I was going to place this in the "How many fans do you have on your PC case" thread but decided it could hijack the topic so I created a new thread.
So I had some free time while watching Sunday's games and decided to run some thermal tests on the CPU. Take all results for what they are; unique to my case, cooler, and fans...so obviously they should be taken as gospel for all your airflow /cooling situations.
Stress test used - 20 minutes of Intel XTU. PC was then shut off for 15 minutes to cool off before the next test. I used both Intel XTU and HWmonitor to confirm CPU temps.
Case - Phanteks P400S with dust filters on both roof panels, front roof panel has no fan
CPU - Intel i7-9700k @ 4.9ghz all cores
Cooler - Noctua U12A with both fans set to normal setting in the BIOS (about 1600rpm tops)
Front Fans - two TB silence 140mm @ 750rpm roughly 66m3/h set to full speed setting via BIOS
Top fan rear - Noctua NF-P14r redux set to 950 rpm roughly 90m3/h via BIOS
Rear fan - Noctua NF-S12A @ 1200rpm roughly 105m3/h set to full speed setting via BIOS
My basement office temp was 71F, all other temps below are in Celsius (or centigrade if you prefer)
First test I removed the front panel of the case, the side glass panel, and both roof dust covers. I then continued to place items back on the PC case for each test (i.e. so the third test includes the glass side panel and so on)
CPU Temp after 20 minutes of the stress test - 70c
Second test I just added the glass side panel
CPU Temp after 20 minutes of the stress test - 71c
Third test I added both top dust covers
CPU Temp after 20 minutes of the stress test - 71c
Fourth test I added the front panel
CPU Temp after 20 minutes of the stress test - 73c
Fifth test I turned off the front fans
CPU Temp after 20 minutes of the stress test - 77c
Sixth test I turned the front fans back on but switched the rear fan from 1200rpm to 900rpm
CPU Temp after 20 minutes of the stress test - 76c
and then I stopped. I didn't test the GPU but it never breaks 75c while gaming.
