Did not realize how much of a difference highly optimized fans would make

Isn't high performance fun?

I obviously knew there would be a difference. I figured maybe 2-5 degrees. But 12 average was unexpected.

Try running push/pull.. its pretty good. Not sure if you have the space for that though..

I definitely don't. The fans are already pressing against the MB power leads.

So I took out my PSU, took out the light bar.. but did not take out the plastic window strip thingy. This will be an operation. I gotta pull the board and PSU, do some masking and shoot some rattle can prime and paint in there. Should be a pain in the balls. Looking forward to it like a prostate exam.

I gave air cooling an honest go, I prefer Thermalright AIO's these days. I am running a slightly different fan config.. I think it works well.

Holy fans Batman!! That’s impressive. Are the little ones at the back noisy?

No not at all, I was using them to cool my ram initially. This set of TR fans that I am using now is pretty decent. I tried some 3K fans on my rad and it was just louder. But outside of the stock Fractal fans, the rest are Thermalright.

Is that an alert image that you chose for the hydroshift? I was trying to sort out why there was an alert when it's only running at 32degrees.
