Weird that my temperatures are higher with the Hades side fan on, but if I turn it off, my temps drop 10°C degrees! (47°C idle vs 57°C idle, I could only imagine what it would be on load). These NZXT top exhaust fans push crazy amounts of air. I should move the computer on my desk now that it is mid-tower since if its under my desk the cold air it pushes out makes my thighs feel so cold. lmao. I love the fact that this case has filters on all intakes though, even the side fan which is awesome since in my last case, everything was so dusty inside even when I made some make-shift filters for it from some fabric softener sheets.
Cable management is a nightmare on this motherboard. It doesn't just need the 24pin and the 8-pin power connector, it also needs an 4-pin connector on the left side and a sata power connector on the bottom so even after hours of cable management it still looks messy. lol. I think its time I replaced this Intel motherboard with something else. |
