Feeling anxious and unsure about the temperature (and noisy fans)
Feeling anxious and unsure about the temperature (and noisy fans)
It seems consistent with what you're experiencing. I believe it's likely originating from your CPU tower cooler fans. At that volume, it would be the only source they produce.
Hwinfo64/msi afterburner works better, and RTSS provides a live overlay, which is why I recommend using it.
It's only the fans from the cooler. If you swap them for two of your case fans and run a similar test, you'll notice the change. Avoid connecting the old CPU fans during the test.
Interesting point. I’m sorry, but I can’t handle that on my own. The only nearby option available is out of town for 2-3 days. I’ll keep this pending and get back to you once I have more test results. Thanks for the updates—it really helps me move forward.
Consider going 4 in and 3 or higher for 2 out. Leave the space empty. This improves airflow without removing air, creating a slight positive or neutral pressure.
