I have the same cooler but it is 4670K running at 4.4GHz and with heavy load it stays below 75oC.
Are you doing a huge o/c?
Btw: with low load I set this fan to run at 300 rpm. (very low noise)
After a long time it was time to clean and rebuild: good oportunity to try ducts.
Tip to new comers: New GPU will be blower style. It is complicated to redirect hot air inside this case.
New rebuild:
With ducts:
Old but gold:
With ducts GPU is not heating MOBO/CPU/PSU so much...
I have never tried klipsch, but I have z623. They are just "ok", not balanced. Good bass, but not clear voice. (perhaps lack of tweeter).
This was the best (not DIY) 2.1 on my local market, but I was expecting better sound.
Great building record. Congratz! Your build seems very clean and tidy
(Tks to translate.google.com to open it too :cool: )
How about noise/temperatures? And where did you get the covers for the holes on the motherboard?
I was searching about ducts inside M1 and want to know how you guys have done it. Did you have good results in terms of temperature and noise?
I´m concerned about ATX PSU and GPU getting unnecessary hot air. Having to spin too fast to cool them.
Some ages ago I tried 2 fans at the bottom...
I´m using impact VI. Audio quality gets better after bios update and driver update. At least for me. Early versions of bios / drivers were causing audio noise
I´m using an ATX one from be quiet (SP7 - 500w) on my ncase. It runs well, at least no coil whine as my other ones from coolermaster and corsair. I havent tested sfx from silverstone or bequiet.
One important point is to check who is the manufacturer behind brands. There is a "non oficial" list...
