Default Re: i7 Core WC setup - Unacceptable temps

Sorry about the late response.

The dual fans are in the very front and I made a half assed attempt at a shroud that only gives them about 2 inches of clearance between them and the rad. The main design of the case would not allow me to put the fans on the inside otherwise I would have done a pull config.

System has been very happy though. It barely gets to 55C doing normal workloads; only in OCCT did the temps spike to 80C. Idles around 41C.

I posted a bunch of pics on the final design on my Guild board.

Check it out HERE.
