This could be due to the H50 and the top fan competing for the cool air as a result of the negative pressure setup: more exhaust over intake. The Core i5-2500K idling temps at 43c which is still quite high for stock voltages. Negative pressure setup:Дў x 120mm in a pull/push config to exhaust on the Corsair H50 1 x 200mm front intake 1 x 120mm top exhaust Conclusions: A standard air flow setup with a front intake for cool air while the top fan over the CPU socket and the Corsair H50 are exhausting warm air through the rear and top of the casing respectively. Clearly some case fans must be installed to provide a wee bit of air flow.

The PC is stable and quiet, but it's not fit for overclocking. With no extra air being actively pushed into the case what is left is a combination of stagnant hot air and fresh air sucked in from gaps in the case. Before getting started on this simple test, we must set a baseline temperature with no case fans: CPU cooling only:Дў x 120mm in a pull/push config to exhaust on the Corsair H50 0 x case fans Conclusions: Check out the crazy-high idle temperature of Core i5-2500K and GTX285 Matrix. CPU temperature was recorded by Real Temp 370 and GPU temp was measured by GPU-Z. Approx total time: 20mins of system stress.

What type ofВ fan orientations and placements are good for an air-cooled setup, and is positive pressure or negative pressure better? Test Hardware: This article is for you fellow air-cooled rig fanboy. Call me a perfectionist, but I like finding the most efficient way of cooling a PC with the least number of fans installed.
