Just finished my first build (gaming desktop) ill list a few specs here.
i5-3570k (at 4.2 GHz)
MSI GTX 660 Ti (PE/OC) (memory at 7000mhz)
8gb 1600mhz ram
h100i liquid cooler
all in a temptest 410 elite case.
My only problem at the moment is that my processor runs about 10 degrees hotter when I switch the airflow direction of the fans to what I want them to be (exhasting air from inside the case out the top), the fans are on top of the radiator, so all the hot air from the GPU is pulled through it, it runs about 60 degrees max on a gaming load, which I am more then fine with, but I am worried about it getting too hot in the summer time when the ambient tempurature will increase. The gpu runs at 70 degrees max on a gaming load (Guild Wars 2 max settings in 1920X1080)
My idea is that the extra airflow out the top will help cool the case for the gpu when it gets hotter in the summer. So thats why I have the fans they way they are now, and it is easier to keep dust out of my computer with this set up also. My other fans are 2 front 120mm fans pulling air into the case, and 1 rear fan blowing air out of the case. Thanks in advance for any tips you guys can give me.
