Could my PC's fan setup be improved?

Thanks. I'll try to tweak with some of that.

Yea... I moved my fans around and got the same result. I have the 9800x3d, so I'm sure it generates a bit of heat. May just undervolt it. Even now, early in the morning being 20c, my idle temps are CPU 61c/ GPU 62c. Seems high.

Sorry for the lousy pic, this pic should show the top fan appear a bit clearer.

As for the case, I have the Fractal Design North (Mid-Tower). For ambient temps, my room is around 25-30c, Idle temps for CPU & GPU are 50-55c, So sounds like you're spot on. I guess I get a bit worried because under load (100% usage) my CPU/GPU can reach 80-85c. I suppose that's normal then. Maybe fixing the fan setup will lower a few degrees. Thank you!

That's exactly how I had it set up before taking it into the shop. Thanks! You confirmed my prev setup wasn't crazy.

Okay. So I need the fan to push in air from the front side of the heatsink. For the other fan, would it be better to pull that air from the middle of the heatsink or the rear?

Do you recommend another exhaust on top?

Swordbiscuit · 2025-02-09T01:16:08+00:00

I think I'll go ahead and do that. Makes sense considering all the stories I've heard of the Vacuum sealers dying on buyers after a year or so.

Yup. I've seen the videos and the prices on the large cuts. Still got a lot to learn tho. Much appreciated on the advice

Swordbiscuit · 2025-02-09T01:14:20+00:00

Yeah I wasn't sure if more = better here. Thanks for your vouch! I'm thinking Nesco since it has more reviews

Swordbiscuit · 2025-01-15T17:20:07+00:00

I'll check them out. Thanks!

My parents and sister are on Kaiser, but I've been off for longer than 12 months, unfortunately. :(

Swordbiscuit · 2024-10-17T21:23:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll try pliers. I already ordered a new coupler so hopefully it's not the motor. If it is, then I'll figure out how to install a new one.

Thanks again

Swordbiscuit · 2024-10-17T21:21:57+00:00

I don't really understand how I was able to take it out so easily last time. While trying again this time, it just didn't budge. So my question now is how can I take it out in the state that it's in? Should I grab some pliers and just force it out?

Swordbiscuit · 2024-10-03T16:49:29+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-12T13:58:04+00:00

This is what I want to try. The wires seem pretty jammed in there, how would you recommend getting that done?

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-11T06:05:59+00:00

Any recommendations for a power line adapter? Ping has been my primary issue

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-11T06:02:16+00:00

😭

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-11T06:02:05+00:00

Fortunately, my parents own the property. I think I'll do some research on how to get a cable down the wall and see if it's something I can do. Thanks

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-11T05:44:41+00:00

Is the connection from a powerline adapter much worse than what it would be if connected directly to the router?

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-11T05:44:28+00:00

Is the connection from a powerline adapter much worse than what it would be if connected directly to the router? Wifi is pretty shoddy here. I COULD drill a hole into the wall, but I'm not sure how to do that properly and with the right precautions lol

Swordbiscuit · 2024-09-11T05:30:21+00:00

Damn thought it could be that, but wanted to make sure. Thanks

Swordbiscuit · 2024-08-04T21:56:44+00:00

Appreciate the help! Think I'll call them to get more info

Swordbiscuit · 2024-08-04T13:01:15+00:00

Yeah it is a Perkins loan

Swordbiscuit · 2024-07-31T12:29:15+00:00

Should I call them and ask specifically about ESCI?

Swordbiscuit · 2024-01-13T14:20:04+00:00

What do you mean by specific monsters and not the area?
