So when I was doing my case mod I had to gut my computer, but since it went to hell I had to put all my stuff back into old computer. This time I thought I would do some wire management to keep it looking clean and to maybe get better airflow. Well that isnt the case as my Board temp is now 10*C higher (29*C to 39*C) and now my GPU runs 5*C higher at idle (50*C). CPU is still the same and the OC is still the same, actually a little less.
I thought I had good airflow but I guess not. I have 2 78CFM fans as exhaust and 1 80MM fan right over my CPU for direct air, but why would my temps go that much higher when the cables arent in the way...I'll take a pic when I get home to show you what it looks like.
I'm almost considering pulling out the wires and having them all over the place.
The ambient temps isn't a factor since I left my door open when it was 40*F outside to see if that was the case that my room got hotter but that didnt help much
