Air cooler for 245k

Hoping to get the time soon to put it together!!

This was interesting experiment on the topic:

Interesting, thanks!

Something else to take into consideration is each fan setup (ie fan on front, on back and on both) is not just changing airflow thru cooler but airflow thru case. This is adding variables video not being taken into account by video author. These other variables may be small, but with only 2.2 difference it could be result of changes in case airflow and/or combination of both case and cooler.

Couldn't agree more. I think its important to split the build into several phases, most important being testing. Test things, test the thermals but with no ego. If you got it wrong re-adjust and test again.

Airflow does things we don't expect. I've seen case running 90c on CPU & GPU with fans at full speed 1600-1800rpm that when fans were slowed down to 1300-1450rpm temps dropped 10c at same load. Best we could figure was higher speeds created too much turbulence thus disrupting airflow. Slowing fans down smoothed out airflow thus less mixing of heated exhaust coming off of components thus less heated air mixing into cool intake air flowing to coolers, thus lower air temp entering cooler being able to cool component to lower temp. Crazy, but true.
