    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cooling noise/High temps when gaming

    Ah ok. Nooo haha. My H150i coolant temp peaks around 43Cish to keep the 12900k CPU temps 60-65C give or take when gaming. I think I have a decent fan curve maintaining that, it's usually is around 1700RPMish at that temp. I suppose I could allow the coolant to get higher than 43C if I reduced...

    A peak of 60C on what? Apologies if I misunderstand what you're talking about here. I've solved the original issue of higher coolant temps when gaming after changing the AIO fans to inside the case. I now get a peak of 43C coolant temp when gaming on a demanding game.

    Update! I've moved the fans to the and I can see why they opted to put them above. The fan to the left on the radiator was hitting the LCD display on my motherboard, so the plate that the radiator was screwed to wouldn't sit flat. But I managed to make it work anyway by putting some risers on...

    Quite possibly! I rather have it not on constant 2350+ RPM than looking nice lol! I was getting concerned that I might not have enough allowance/space by the top of the motherboard but I think it'll be fine. The fans might slightly cover the lcd display, and I might have to move the exhaust...

    I rang them up (tbh I did get it a year ago so it's been a while!). The guy said that he would have also installed them on the under side too. He did mention that it could have been possible that they built it in the way you guys are suggesting but during testing they perhaps decided to change...

    When changing the fans from the top to the bottom, are the way mine are installed right now not only incorrectly above the radiator, but the wrong way round too? I've noticed that I've got the plastic cross visible above the fan blade with the current setup/incorrect placement, whereas in the...

    Ah so you're saying with the Cappelix fan change from top to bottom, the rear fan exhaust should be enough?

    Thanks for your help. Will the current 2 big fans on the front of the H500M and single one on the back be enough to take air out?

    Isn't that good though, to pull the hot air from inside the case to the outside? If it's reversed how will that help my cooling issue?

    Sorry for the dumb questions but with the fans on top in their current placement, is that pushing air back into the system whereas if I moved them to the bottom with your suggestion, it would be pushing the air up through the radiator and out of the case like it's supposed to be?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cooling noise/High temps when gaming

    Interesting. Yeah that's really annoying to learn that I've been using it for over a year incorrectly and that this could greatly reduce the cooling issue. The thing is I'm not comfortable with doing this myself and as it's my main PC that I use to work on.. I don't think I'd have time to send...

    I thought with the way it's currently set up is that the fans were expelling the hot air from inside the case to the outside via the mesh on the sides? Or does that only happen if the fans were on the other side and it pushes it through?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cooling noise/High temps when gaming

    Well damn. I wonder why PC Specialist fit it that way :S I have seen some other cases on google searches with fans facing the same way in the case, so I never really thought much of it? Had absolutely no idea about the paste aspect. I didn't know they would remove preapplied paste to do that...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cooling noise/High temps when gaming

    Do you mean these fans above it? The thing that's crappy about this case imo is that it has that glass top, so these fans push the air there and supposedly outside the mesh on the sides but I don't think it does a great job..

    Thanks for the reply & information, very helpful! The G8 Neo is tempting to wait for... Will there be a flat version offered as well? If not, what's the big deal about curved? As posted by Spyder, did you come across the MSI MPG321UR? Seems like a good option too! =)

    PCSPECIALIST New Monitor Help

    After shopping around a bit I think a good monitor might be the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQ 4K Ultra HD 32" IPS LCD Gaming Monitor. Has anyone heard good things about this or possibly have this as their own monitor? I'm looking for a decent 4k 32" monitor and this seems to be up there. But if anyone...
