Im just going to to resear the cooler now. When i installed it initally I installed the way you describe but it cant hurt to try.

The picture shows wrer the tower sits, the glass pane is against the desk. Do you think were i have it positioned isnt helping?

Ive found a be quite pure wings fan on amazon and i think ive got a lead spare in the case for a third fan, will the new fan come with a lead to plug into the one in the case?

I will let you know when im back up and running.
 
@orbitalwalsh ive undone the 4 scews but the coolers stuck????

Every screw is unattached from tje mother board but it stuck solid. This that the thermal paste sticking to the CPU. It feels very solid and cant be good if it is??

That's fine - press it back down and re-tighten the screws using the diagonal method - bit by bit. Don't tighten one screw all at once - all bit at a time on the diagonal.

@Plec @orbitalwalsh

The cooler came off but i cant screw if back on. The screws are spring loaded and to get them to go into the holes to where they need to screw in to is taking to much pressure and will snap something! What am i doing wrong? I dont remember any issues when building?
 
@Plec @orbitalwalsh

Ok, the reason the cooler wouldn't go back in was because of the back plate had come off.

There seemed to be an even spread of paste although quite thin.

I think I might get some paste and an extra fan, for the effort its going to take its got to be worth it.

Ive taken a picture of where I think the extra fan should go (at the front) but it looks a bit tight I will post it soon.

I'm going to run real bench again and let you know where we are.

Cheers lads!
 
So the new fan will.go at the front here below the other fan next to the hdd bays. And the new fans comes with a preinstalled lead that will plug in the connector I have spare in the case? This connector in the case im guessing goes back to the fan controller in the front? And also supllies power?

Thanks again guys.
 
@orbital @Plec

I'm going to up the res and FPS and see it says on and what the temp goes too

Lads, if I go to auto detect setting in the graphics section it sets everything to medium (2560X1400)? Why is that? don't seem right for a £779 GPU?

Games always under estimate HW - stick verything on ULTRA and benchmark it if it has the option.

And have you installed the monitor drivers and instructed Nvidia control centre (or display adapter properties - set screen refresh rate to 75) that your monitor is 75Hz?

Haven't done anything in NVidia control I will have a look.

Thermal Grizzlie paste, non metal one !!!
Best there is

Again, check my above comment about power plan as a tester

Fan comes with 3 pin connector you'll hook up to the fan controller cables at the back of the case and

I though I had changed the power plan option to performance yesterday but when I've checked it said balanced? I've reset to defaults to see what happens.

I looked on the AOC website and found my monitor but there is no driver download?

I don't have NVidia control centre I don't think, only GeForce experience, are they the same?
