corsair 600t temps

scorchisio · 18 Jan 2013 at 20:36

got some dust filters today, the mesh window of my case has pretty big holes so i added dust filters, the system seems to get quite hot and loud after about 20 mins of gaming.

Is it possible these dust filters along with a noise dampened case are not a good mix and are restricting airflow a lot?

the temp in the system according to speedfan is 35C. Is there any other software better than speedfan for monitoring temps?

I don't think you need dust filters - the 600t already has some supplied? At the ned of the day you need to clean the inside of your pc a couple of times a year to keep the temperature as it should IMO.
Take the dust filters out and see what happens.
Also the H100 fans AND the 120mm at the back - are they pushing air OUT/IN? and direction wise if they were set different could affect air flow.

also I noticed the case has a glass panel just above it. make sure the case is as free as it can possibly be & in well ventilated room.

the h100i is blowing air out of the top of the case. the back of the case appears to be neither blowing air out or sucking it in from what i can feel

Note the arrows on the side of the 120mm fans
see this link, where it says under heading: "Push" and "Pull" Defined --

look very closely at the side of the fans - it has arrows make sure they are pointing in the direction you want them. In my case I have them pushing air out.

Its seems pretty straight forward, but it does take patience, taking case apart etc.. I would say make sure the fans are in right direction

ok that's fine then. Looking at the picture damn fine pc you have there too, the Asus Sabertooth, nice.
I would take the extra dust filters out. Just make sure the case has room to breath.

they fit externally over the mesh mate im gonna stick with them, its an amazing machine, games are just ridiculously glorious, good cable management and its overclocked really well. having an ssd is awesome windows boots up in under 5 seconds and she is ready to use

there the dust filters, they allow air through but keep dust out
