I built my first pc at the weekend (fantastic service by overclockers to get everything to me on Saturday having ordered 2pm Friday!).
I have a CM Storm Stryker case with an i5 3570k processor.
I intend to overclock in the near future and I want to get a good airflow setup to keep everything cool.
At the moment I have the four original fans (two front intake, 1 rear exhaust and 1 roof exhaust) and a heatsink (Xigmatek Dark Knight - absolute pain to install).
With these it sits around 30-33C idle and so far I have only run prime 95 for a 15minute stress test and had 59C as the highest reading.
I have two Scythe 120mm fans to install one in the floor as an intake and put the other on the heatsink (if I can).
How should I run Prime to get the best test of the cases air cooling capabilities and if I overclock to say 4/4.2ghz how much hotter would my pc run?
(sorry for the long post!)
