Hi these are my specs atm.
Fractal design r3
8GB Ram
ASRock Z68 PROFESSIONAL GEN3
i7 2600k
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
EVGA GTX 580
128 GB SSD
1tb HDD
CORSAIR Professional Series HX850 (CMPSU-850HX) 850W
I live in california and as some of you may know It's hot most of time here.
And need the best cooling I can get.
I currently get cpu idle temps around 35c, and when on full load close to the 50's.
My gpu idles around 43 at fan speeds 60% and on full load mid 70's close to the 80's at fan speed 70%. (Manually)
Im using a fractal design r3 case atm. really nice case.
Specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352004
I plan on adding more fans along with a fan controller for the case.
Currently It only has 2 fans one on the front getting air and one on the back trowing air out. I plan on getting 4 more fans maybe 5.
But which should I put to pull air and which to throw out?
I have the choice for 2 at top, 2 front (1 already being used), 1 back (already being used), One on the side panel, and one on the bottom.
I want the best cooling aiming for my 580, because I plan on adding another one next month.
(Side question, would my current psu handle two 580's?)
I am also thinking on water cooling my cpu, which do you thing would suit best?
Do you recommend it? for better cooling
Last question, are their any 24 pin atx power connector, 8 pin cpu power connector, PCI-e, and fan cable extenders?
So I can route all the cable through the back.
Thank you.
