    Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on Core Temp Mike :) I grabbed it a few mins ago, took me a few mins to figure out how to keep the temps displaying in the toolbar, when closing Core Temp, but guess I figured it out. LoL
    Hi,
    No problem I love it for my 10 core shows them all unlike real temp only shows up to 4 cores or real temp gt which only goes up to 6 cores.
    . @AddRAM shared it with me a while back :)

    Not sure if it still applies but unless you have a very cool or cold room, it is better to have adequate fans set up and your case enclosed for optimum cooling. Like I said, that was back in the day and I don't know anyone that runs a totally open case unless they are doing extreme OC. You might be just displaying your case and not running it that way. If I just open my side panel, my temps will go up.
    I want to install the 2nd fan that came with the cooler - trying to decide the best way to do it. After the 2nd fan is installed, the sides and top go back in place. Air flow is important - we agree on that.

    There are about 10 places to install fans - this is one cool case - and very big -

    Hi,
    Not sure why the open case and the horizontal mother board heat rises so the horizontal board helps heat go up away from anything :/
    Cpu has fans so it is the only item that needs cooling.
    But if you assemble the case yeah you'll have to get some directional air flow going and that is a very large case one isn't going to do much.

    I have a fairly large case. My fans are located front 200cm inbound, top 200cm outbound, side 200cm inbound, rear 140cm outbound. All quiet Noctua fans. Can't tell the computer is running and my temps at idle are around 31c. Playing games or video max is 48c. Real Bench stress test, max temp was 75c.

    Hi,
    On most every test bench I've seen they really don't have a lot of fans
    Here's a air cooler on one as you can see no other fans needed :)
    If at all on an extreme overclocked on a liquid cooler would be used and possibly a fan blowing down or across the ram might be used so you could add the fan on the top blowing down on the mother board.

    I'm thinking of selling the condo and moving into an efficiency apartment.

    The case is the only part of this build that I MIGHT not buy again.

    With that cooler you will still need a big case but maybe not that big. LOL

    Hi,
    The only people needing a case like that would be water cooling wild people
    One can add so many large radiators it's mind blowing lol

    You could almost get your x99 in there too
