I get around 26-28C idle and 49-52C load in an ambient room of 24C.
But if GPU is at full power as well as my CPU then my temps go way up to 72-75C
Because I think the Silverstone fans can only do so much pulling in air through the bottom and through a slim radiator
I would get much better temps if I had a second radiator side mounted, but I wouldn't be able to see inside. Guess that's the compromise I'm making lol
What I might do is what WithAlligators did and trim a 25mm fan and the rad itself, maybe then I'll be able to get some better temps and still give the air room to escape
I'm wanting to do a custom loop similar to yours, how much would you say you paid for all of the parts? I have a budget of 250 and i already have fans and radiators
