VSYNC = reduced temperatures ?

[Mihai_89]

Just wanted to ask this, for example you get 140 FPS or more in games.

Should VSYNC always be used as a method to reduce GPU temperature ?

Or should we NOT have to do that in order to reduce GPU temp ?

your current case is beautiful but supports only 1 rear and 2 top fans , The new one should provide far better cooling

Littlecat thanks, unfortunetly it doesn't have great airflow and limited options for installing fans. It only supports 1 rear fan and 2 top fans.

Hopefully the new case should provide way better cooling and airflow. I am hoping that with 6 fans i will be able to decrease GPU temps at least 5-10'C.

it comes with 3 front pre installed fans . wow

It actually comes with 4 fans : 3 front pre-installed + 1 rear fan.

I bought another 2 extra fans to have max fans that case supports which is 6 fans and want to setup like this :

- 1 rear exhaust
- 2 top exhaust
- 3 front intake

It also has a very good price at around 80 euros.

i would skip the top ones but well if needed

Why no top fans though ?

[76561198343548661]

I might be wrong but without them (top ones) the airflow will be in a perfect "line (i mean front ones to rear one - it is like a line , or 3 perfect lines of airflow through the whole case )

edit
Test with and without top ones ! Also with A TOP ONE NEAR THE BACK OF THE CASE (i like this too , even the most )

edit2
found it includes 1 rear pre-installed fan as well , ok

edit3
i am restricted by Steam again That s why cant post elsewhere
the first top fan , in the middle could distract the air flow ! it cant take air from the bottom of the case cuz there is a PSU cover like

Wouldn't it be better though to have the 2 top fans also for exhaust so they can pull out more hot air ?

More is nearly always better, hell the whole heat rising isn't even an issye in a oc case as the slightest of breeze from a fan is more than enough to overwhelm it.

Front in everything else exhaust will be the best approach on that case.

Could be as little as just 1 degree lower if you mess around trying none standard configs. All depends on the case, fans and internal hardware. That why Front/Bottom/side as intake with rear/top as exhaust is a usual setup. Time spent testing other configurations for what could be only get 1 degree better or maybe even slightly worse isn't worth the time and effort testing.

Supafly this is my current case

https://www.pcgarage.ro/carcase/gamemax/dark-ranger-h605/

And this is the case i plan on upgrading to

https://www.pcgarage.ro/carcase/cooler-master/cooler-master-masterbox-mb511-rgb/

The Cooler Master comes with 4 fans included and i plan to add 2 more.

Would this be good :

- 1 rear exhaust
- 2 top exhaust
- 3 front intake

Also if you can take a look at both cases do u really think there won't be any difference at all temperature-wise ??

New case would be better. You miss interpret what I wrote when I said could e as little as 1 degree. I was talking about if you strayed from the normal rear/top as exhaust and front/bottom as intake. So for example made 1 or more top intake.... maybe a bottom as exhaust. Some cases and hardware may see a small improvement but that'll require a lot of testing and moving fans around. Hardly worth it for what may be as little as a 1 degree improvement....likely worse.

New case with actual intakes will def be better. How much depends on the internal hardware, specs of the fans and how fast they are set to run. I won't hazard a guess by how much as I've personally never used either nor own the same hardware as you.

New case could have components around the same temps but fans running slower or you could set it so fans run faster and cools better. Thats upto you. Just setting the fans to run at same speed of you current fan would easily = lower temps overall though.

Bottom line is your plan for the new case and fan setup would definitely be a improvement on cooling your system.

Supafly one thing i just remembered.

The GPU is about 2 weeks old but i noticed the fan speed is 90-95% when at 79-80'C.

Should i also re-apply thermal paste on the GPU ?

Is it possible stock paste was garbage ?

Hard to say. Your case and it's limited fans means airflow sucks inside the case. A new case with a better fan config would help keep the GPU cooler. So much that repasting may not be needed.

As it's only a few weeks old I really wouldn't want to repaste it myself.......some manufacterurs have been known to void warranties where as others don't mind. So if that's what you want to try I suggest double checking first.

Personally I'd get the case first and see how it's temps change. If it's still to hot though I'd rather do an RMA than repaste it. Maybe contact the seller first and explain you're hoping it lowers to a more acceptable level once you get a better case with good airflow but depending on the result you may still want to return it. If they won't go for it return is first. But that's just me. Can be over cautious at times...................

Would changing the case though make GPU fans work less ?

Like if they're working at 90-95% now will they be at 50-60% after switching cases ?

No. The major thing causing a GPU or CPU to heat up is the GPU or CPU itself. Everything else doesn't really do anything to warm it up. ESPECIALLY if you have nothing in your case. If you had maybe five hard drives and a bunch of other Pci devices maybe. But if you got an empty case with nothing else but fans, what's going to be heating up the GPU or CPU except those things themselves?

Or to experiment take the panel off and see if the temperatures drop. If they don't then no way a new case will help you.

Yes.
For one they'd be working less because they wouldn't need to pull air from outside a case without intakes. Actually having cooler air pushed in the case and available instead of those GPU fans trying to pull air from every small opening. Plus think about it. If the air inside doesn't receive cool air from intakes the air inside is already warm/hot. Make it cooler by adding intakes means the air used to cool is already cooler in the first place. If thats cooler the component will also be cooler.
