Hi all,
New i7 920 rig, oc'd at 4.00Ghz but temps under prime95 are creeping towards 90C, which I don't like.
My case is a Coolermaster HAF, so adequate case cooling isn't a problem.
The CPU cooler is a Titan Fenrir. Good cooler but it will only fit 3 out of 4 possible directions because the fan can't go over the memory blowing out the back of the case, because the Patriot memory is too tall.
It could blow downwards, but I don't really see a point in that.. the airflow would be fighting the fan on the top of the case.
So my two options are:
BLOW it out the top
SUCK air out the back of the case
Which is better? I've attached pictures showing total airflow of my case. There is also a side fan blowing inwards.
