Kaby Lake i7-7700k + H100i v2 ?s
Hi there,
Just got a new build put together...been using AMD for quite some time now, before that Intel, now back to Intel. It has been many generations since I ran Intel so I am not too familiar with temps and all...I know the 7700k runs warm but I have a few questions about my setup currently. See below.
- Firstly, I mounted radiator to front due to my open shroud GPU, bringing cold air from front instead of exhausting hot air from radiator and a good portion of the GPU's hot air through top
-I have 3 Noctua 140mm fans, 2 on top and 1 at back all exhausting...this may be an issue with -/+ air pressure? Maybe switch to a H115i to help with this?
-For front mounted radiators is push or pull better? I also may have mounted it improperly, see pics, fans are on one side of mounting bracket and radiator is the other
-Ambient temp is 23-25C, idling temps hover between 31-33C, when running Prime95 I can hear the H100i fans turn up and feel air being pushed through radiator however temps hover between 72-78 and sometimes skyrocket to 89ish, but only for a breif moment before dropping down back to the 75C range. Are these temps right? I feel I may have over tightened my CPU screws and maybe used a tad too much thermal compound....or maybe I'm just over thinking this whole thing.

Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
