yes please would be nice to see them.

the gtx970 is cooler and quieter than the 7950 even when it was stock

Any ideas on how to get the individual Firestrike test? Did you buy 3DMark?

I honestly cant remember Ive had the software that long I just install it when I done a fresh install.

I got into 5 figure score though after a moderate overclock

yea I was fairly chuffed with it. as you can see in the gpu info it is just a moderate OC no voltage increase and even in valley it made an improvement.

Im still half tempted to go air on the cpu...

yea I know theres plenty of folk saying no stay AIO but I was having a dig around on the Noctua NH-D15 and it performs around the same as the H100i but comes in at around £30 cheaper and would be quieter in day to day use..

Go for the d15 and with the other £30, you could buy some better case fans.

this is my exact thoughts on it.
If I go for air then I can get 2 really good fans mounted up front to get cool air in to the system which will benifit the Air cooler. then get a good 140mm fan on the rear for getting the hot air away from the cooler and out the back..

I also saw a thread on here where a boy fitted an intake to the roof at the front and this also gave him an improvement on temps with his air cooler.

Yeah air coolers love loads of air and yes your be better doing that.

For the rear fan make sur its a high cfm.

I tend to feel safer with Air Cooling too

there have been too many Failures on AIO to make me feel at ease

yea heres my cooling lay out the now.
My thoughts would be to keep the fans where they are now but change them all to high cfm fans and obviously a high cfm fan where the H80i radiator is

Yeah that will be good and do you know what fans you mite be getting yet.

GAM8LE · 6 Nov 2015 at 21:12

hmm I think the top one may be best as an exhaust, that seems to be the standard config.

Ive tried that. I get lower temps using it as an intake.

that would be my thoughts. or if I go with the phanteks ill do the same which Ive already got one sitting
or I would maybe change them all to noctua

jbh110tdi · 6 Nov 2015 at 23:52
