Hi there All New to this, but was hopping someone can point me into the right direction.. I have just currently finished a new custom built PC, spec as follows:- Case - Corsair Obsidian Series 800D CPU - Intel Core i7 990x EXTREME GULFTOWN (6 x 3.46 GHz) CPU Heatsink - Corsair Hydro Series H80 RAM - Vengeance™ — 24GB Triple Channel DDR3 Memory Kit Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 3GB Motherboard - Asus Rampage III Black Edition (Intel X58) Sound Card - Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 Deluxe True HDMI (PCI-E) Networking - ThunderBolt LAN/Audio Combo Card PSU - Professional Series™ Gold AX1200 Fan Controller - NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller HDD - 1TB WD I have installed the new Corsair Hydro Series H80 liquid cooled heatsink but find it very loud.. So i would like to water cool both CPU and Graphics Card but not shore what i need or how to go about it.. Hope you can help me out Regards Jamie
Hello there First of all, this post should be in "Hardware" but I'll make sure a moderator moves it. Have you tried turning down the fans on your H80? And making appropriate fan adjustments on your fan controller?
Try changing the fans on it to 2 scythe gentle typhoons 1850rpm. Edit: the corsair 800d isn't a quiet case and are you sure its the h80 and not the fan on the 590
As fdbh96 suggested you should try changing the fans on it. Instead of Gently Typhoons, you might want to look at a pair of Delta's. With your fan controller you can turn them right down, but still have tons of cooling potential left if the going gets tough.
It's not just the materials used that make a case quiet though buddy. It's quality of construction, gauge of metals or plastics used, number and position of air vents... the list goes on. Don't get me wrong, the 800D is far from silent but it's very quiet.
Hi there, cheers Picarro for putting post in write area.. Cheers for the input people.. 800d case itself is quite the temp idles around 25c and the CPU temp also idles at 33c using the Corsair Hydro Series H80.. the Corsair Hydro Series H80 is set on low fan speed.. i really would like to have proper water cooled system but not shore what i will need any ideas?
You obviously didn't read my signature block... (I have 800D with GTs) I love how people love to comment on things without any real experience of the item in question just to appear knowledgeable.
Thats it Pete, you go pimping yourself mate....lol I reckon some one should edit it and turn it in to a sticky. But still leave the one in your thread to run.
Hi i will try and get some pictures up tomorrow, great feedback thho gives me something to thnk about... if i was to go water cool what sort would be good and what would i need
Hi, i have played around with the settings on the H80 and made sure that the airflow is correct.. as noted i had to change air flow due to installed fans wrong way so the airflow was incorrect, now seems a lot quieter now its fixed... Airflow and fan settings on 590 are all correct and running quite... Fan controller is set on Auto, changes the speed of fans depending on temp near fans... Airflow within the case is as follows:- I have kept the airflow as corsair have installed within case and have mounted H80 on the top of the case, sucks cold air in while over fan pushes heat back into case.. Temperature using Piriform Speccy :- CPU - Idle 23 - 24c Motherboard - Idle 12 - 15c HDD - Idle 30 -32c Fan Controller - NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller Fan 1 700RPM - 26.5c Fan 2 700RPM - 26c Fan 3 800RPM - 25.3c Sentinel-R1 - i will get some pictures up today, how do i go about uploading pictures lol? sorry all new to this cheers
