New Fan Setup Working Amazing!

Okay so I started off getting about 15c on each core, my house is cold so this is around average.
I then moved my fans around a bit and wow what a difference it made!
Here is a screen!
Ambient room temperature was 13.6c!

So are you talking about the 21 degree reading at the top or the duff reading of below ambient further down.

I get 10 degrees over ambient on idle generally.

Yeah the 21 degree at the top meaning im getting 7.4 above ambient temperature, I started of getting 27-32 degrees on the CPU normally now it's 20, quite the improvement over the old arrangement! What cooler do you use?

Ambient 21.5 C, so 4.5 above. Although that is with my fans turned up, I turn them down when not encoding, then it sits 5-7 above and is near silent. My HDD make more noise.

Using 3 fans, one on the D14, one top and one rear outtake.

H50 intake with two fans on ~1100rpm

Atm its 14 ambient and 18-22 at the cpu but at higher ambient its more reliably at 10 degrees over.
