Ok so I have my pc up and running, thanks to GOD Stulid ;)

I am just a bit disappointed with the cooling sides of things.

I have antec 300

2 x Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fan in the front.
1 x Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fan in the rear.
1 x Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fan on the side panel
1 x BitFenix Spectre 140mm Fan in the roof.

I have them on the fan controller. If i have them on low or high there is no difference to temps anywhere in the case.

The only difference is the noise lol!

Air flow is good, no cables blocking the flow.

Two in the front are sucking air in.
One in the rear is sucking air out.
One on the side is sucking air in onto gpu
One on the roof is sucking air out of case

Normal?
 
Which temperature are you disappointed with? Specifically CPU, GPU, case, what?

It's quite warm at the moment, high ambient temperatures can lead to fairly unimpressive results on even decent CPU coolers, or so I've observed. Check the delta temps if you have a way to measure it.
 
I am just dissapointed that if i turn all the fans up to high. And the noise is deafening. No temps drops.

Cpu hovers at 42c on all cores, gpu hovers at 48c

i5 - gts 250
 
I am going todo 2 IBT'S runs. Fans low and then fans high

Just to see if there is any difference.

If not might as well leave them on low all the time.
 
Thats the nature of these fans, maximum air flow, well over 100cfms.

If you want quiet then try Gentle typhoons.

Noise doesnt bother me at all, what i am saying is. If the fans are on low or high. None of the temps drop lol. So might as well put them on low hehe.

Enermax apollishes are pretty quiet and look amazing!

Had them, but my fan controller hated them.

Ironically I am sure he sold some of these in the MM a while back:p

Which fan controller? Cos I have a Lamptron FC5 V2 going to waste here. Unused aswell
 
Then the temps you are getting is as low as possible for the heatsink cooling capacity and the motherboards chipset cooler.

If you add more material per sq mm for the fins on a heatsink the better the air over it performs, the larger the surface area to dissipate heat.
 
Well you said the cooling doesn't change if on LOW or HIGH speed.

So even at low speed there is enough air flow to maximize your heatsinks ability to dissipate heat.

You add a bigger heatsink with a large surface area and the temps drop further.
 
Okay this is good as i am understanding this :D

So why is the gpu not running cooler, with a fan a full pelt hitting it.

same deal?

Thats it, and also I dont think 48C for your GPU is high at all.

The more metal you present the air flow, the lower your temps go.
 
OW YEAH

World of tanks before upgrade was med to low settings. 35fps ish

With this new upgrade and the drivers for gpu :o I get 70fps ish but now med to high!

That is a major jump really! Well double!!
