low pumice
What CPU
wooden skiff
going off the 7 vids i saw there should be ram clearance. but gimme a sec.
AMD Performance Edition 8GB 2X4GB PC3-14900 DDR3 1866MHZ 10-11-11-30 1.65V Radeon Memory
see if i can google it
low pumice
What CPU though?
low pumice
Also, do you live in Canada?
wooden skiff
yes
low pumice
tbh I wish ram listed their height
Because Noctua is nice enough to list ram clearance but I can't cross reference
wooden skiff
i will send a pic with phone 1 sec
low pumice
Can't send pictures either, DM it to me and I'll send it for you
Anyways, according to Amazon the case has 6.7inches(~170mm) of clearance for the CPU cooler, the D15 is 165mm tall, so that fits.
low pumice
It's normal
wooden skiff
image being sent
low pumice
My case has 170mm of clearance, fits just fine
wooden skiff
do you have both fans on?
wooden skiff
wow, super clean
wooden skiff
pixel 3
low pumice
Oh interesting
wooden skiff
i didnt see both fans in your image
low pumice
anyways as you can see on the diagram the fans are the same height
That's not my picture, just a stock image I found
wooden skiff
oh
low pumice
I have really tall ram, so I moved my second fan to be over my IO/VRM heatsink
I can get you a pic tho
wooden skiff
please
also would there be any issues with the placement of my video card on that mobo
low pumice
Shouldn't be
The left side fan is pushing against the glass because it's elevated above the VRM heatsink thing so it wouldn't happen in your case
wooden skiff
i do have a blue heatsink as well
low pumice
I have some tall rgb ram
wooden skiff
to the left of the cpu
low pumice
Basically YOU wouldn't need to have it on the left
I have it on the left because my ram is too tall
wooden skiff
i see
low pumice
And the heatsink is smaller than my ram
wooden skiff
and you have no trouble closing your case?
low pumice
Your ram seems to fit under 32mm
No trouble, it's pushing a little because of the heatsink but that's it
wooden skiff
doing very poor measuring i think its 30mm or less
low pumice
Okay good
wooden skiff
26mm maybe
low pumice
So now we have confirmed that it fits, next let's figure out if that heatsink is the right choice for you.
wooden skiff
ok
low pumice
How much are you willing to spend on a cooler in CAD?
wooden skiff
egg is selling for $139.99cad
low pumice
I mean in general
low pumice
There are always other options to look at.
wooden skiff
200 max i guess
low pumice
alright that's plenty lol
wooden skiff
its annoying when your mid game and pc crashes due to excessive heat.
low pumice
Are you sure it's excessive heat?
Thermal throttling only starts at around 95c not 80c if I recall correctly
Something else could also be at fault.
wooden skiff
HWiNFO64 and RivaTuner Statistics Server say my temp is over 80c. and thats the only game that crashes the pc.
low pumice
NH-D15 is also cheaper on Amazon by the way.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00L7UZMAK
So just 7 days to die crashes, and other games don't?
wooden skiff
correct
low pumice
And is it just the game freezing/crashing or does your computer BSOD and/or turn itself off?
low pumice
Alright, I think we should do some troubleshooting first before we can be sure cooling is the issue. Are you at your computer right now?
wooden skiff
also i had had water cooling before it died and no issues with that came. Just figure stock cpu cooler not strong enough.
yes for a bit
low pumice
do you have prime95?
wooden skiff
dont think so. is that a benchmark program?
low pumice
It's a stress testing program that puts a lot of stress on your CPU to cause a lot of heat and such. It's really good for checking if your CPU is at fault for crashing and stuff, because it WILL crash if your CPU was the problem.
https://www.mersenne.org/download/#download
Open something in the background that shows temperature if you're curious, and run the torture test on "Small fft"
wooden skiff
is ryzen master your program to see temps?
low pumice
and here is how you stop it
It's what I use because I overclock with it while looking at temps
anything that gives you a real-time temperature works
low pumice
Alright, if it doesn't crash during Prime95, its basically guaranteed it's not a CPU issue.
Uh I need to check actually
I don't know if it works with FX processors
wooden skiff
ok
low pumice
Yea I don't think so, I think it's only for Ryzen processors
wooden skiff
once i try do i @ you or just leave a message and who ever gets to it..
low pumice
but Hwinfo64 works
Just ask, and if no one answers in a few min you can @ me or anyone else you want to answer.
lemme just show you hwinfo64+p95 and how it would look
wooden skiff
ok. i wont be able to test till about midnight my time. its currently 4:47pm for me. so i can post tomorrow.
also how long should i be running this test? 30min?
low pumice
While my temperatures are really high, it's not crashing me.
(And yes I know I need to fix it, it's my thermal paste that wasn't applied correctly but I'm too lazy to fix it right now)
Just a few minutes works
usually when I have an unstable overclock it crashes immediately lol
wooden skiff
wow thats hot
low pumice
Yea don't worry if it goes to like 90c and doesn't crash, P95 is a worst worst case scenario compared to games
it's a heavy 100% load on every core and every thread
wooden skiff
Max core temp should be around 65 and socket 75. they are usually about 10 degrees apart anyways most of the time under load so when one is near max the other is too.
thats apparently max temp for my processor
low pumice
oh weird, I'll research into FX chip architecture then
wooden skiff
hwin says my cpu is 49 but i do have over 50 tabs open in chrome lol
low pumice
Anyways I know for Ryzen and Intel chips they start throttling and having issues above 95c
Maybe FX chips are different
cold island
pretty sure fx chips are way lower
cold island
ya i thought it was around 60
low pumice
but you probably should try p95 first to make sure it's the CPU heat/load that's causing your crashes
And at that point, NH-D15 seems to be a good option for you. It fits, pricing is acceptable, and in stock.
tropic vortex
Should i get 3 or 2 fans in my AIO? Debating between either Kraken Z73 or kraken x63
low pumice
You're going for the Kraken for the looks correct
low pumice
360mm provides fairly small games over 280mm, so whatever fits your case on top
because it doesn't look good when you put a 280mm rad where it fits 360mm imo
tropic vortex
Its a lian li o11x XL
low pumice
it fits 360mm on top
tropic vortex
Ah ok so 360mm would look betrer
topaz blaze
having some trouble changing my lights on fans from a pre-build, help pls thx
low pumice
I don't think you can change lights on most fans
topaz blaze
it says on the overview of the product that it can
barren mural
Not sure if this is the place to put it or not, but i have 3 rgb fans and an rgb light strip in my case that run on 2 separate remotes. My fan remote has decided to change my light strip instead (with the wrong buttons obviously, and the one for my light strip just doesn't do anything anymore. Anyone know how to fix the remotes?
ocean flume
depends on the brands, but they might have a 'hold this key to pair/unpair' thing
that's what my cougar remote has
if i press and hold one of the buttons it unpairs from the controller box, and another one pairs with a controller box
rain patio
barren mural
@ocean flume Thanks. I’ll see what I can do. I haven’t found any buttons or switches like that yet but I’ll give it a look
low pumice
@rain patio you going aio or custom loop
topaz blaze
how do i go about getting a custom loop?
granite patrol
buy gpu/cpu waterblock, pump, radiator, a couple fans, and tubing

only if the shipping wasnt 120 :((
magic sparrow
it is sad... but also, still like sub $350 USD for 360+240 iirc
the days of sub $300 were nice tho
granite patrol
that is true
slim tendon
What are some good fans for cooling the top and back of my Pc ? My front panel fans and stick and fan on cpu is doing fine but the top and back get a little hot during games
Plus - how do I make sure I have my fans in the right direction
brisk rain
@slim tendon How hot are you talking here?
slim tendon
I’ll have to check stats again but say maybe the highest I seen is 90c
brisk rain
90c is a bit high. Is that on the GPU or CPU?
slim tendon
Cpu
brisk rain
What CPU and what CPU cooler?
slim tendon
Rizan 5 gen 3, the stock cooler
brisk rain
3600, 3600x, or 3600xt?
slim tendon
3600
brisk rain
Any overclock?
slim tendon
No. But I do have Game Boost enabled from the bios of my MSI B450 Gaming Plus max motherboard
brisk rain
You'll probably benefit more from a larger CPU cooler than replaced case fans. What case do you have?
slim tendon
Metallic Gear Neo Air
low pumice
Game boost is just straight +400mhz on all cores iirc
brisk rain
I believe so
slim tendon
If I’m just doing basic web browsing or other generic tasks it stays cool or at the very least room temp (as if it was off) but if I noticed when starting games. Front panel stays cold but the top and back where fans could be installed get a little hot
brisk rain
The back and top are the exhaust, so they will get hot
fans are usually set up so that cold air comes in the front and hot air goes out the back and top
slim tendon
performance hasn’t been in any danger yet. Only been using everything for about 2 days
Thought I’ll look into something in advance to keep things cooled
brisk rain
What brand and model ram do you have?
slim tendon
Thermaltake Toughpower Z-one RGB 16gb (2 - 8gb) ddr4 -3200 (CL 16)
brisk rain
Okay, I can't find the ram height...
@slim tendon For that game boost, I would recommend getting a better cooler like the Noctua D15s
slim tendon
Alright. It should help lower temps ?
brisk rain
Yes
slim tendon
With headphones on I don’t hear my fans but noticed when I take them off I can hear them in work. Luckily the moment I end a game window they quiet down quickly
brisk rain
That's pretty much expected
slim tendon
I’ve thought about water cooling but don’t think I’ve fully grasped the process off how to refill and make sure there’s no leaks
brisk rain
Easiest way is to get an AIO and not worry about it. Totally overkill for a 3600 though
slim tendon
Most of my use was just for games , maybe a few hours a day on and off then possibly some light blender use. Doubt I’ll be making games or animations , though I’d like it. Just still renders.
Hopefully my cooling solution is enough to allow an image to be made without a burn out
manic tusk
im trying to get an aio for my core p3. is it worth getting a 240 for 80$?
they look pretty bad build quality
rugged nimbus
$80 can get you a very nice noctuca air cooler... I wouldn't
manic tusk
ill just keep my hyper 212.
ill use the money im not spending to get some cheap rgb fans for the side of it
rugged nimbus
Fair enough 🙂
rose quarry
Hey all. I'm trying to ascertain how to tell what coolers will fit my cpu + mobo. Can anyone give me the "for dummies" version?
onyx sequoia
granite patrol
yea should be fine
twin urchin
dude doesn't need a $100 cooler for a 3600
get a mugen5 or shadow rock 3 for under $50
brisk rain
It's overclocked
twin urchin
its still only a 3600
brisk rain
+400MHz all cores, iirc
twin urchin
if its already not throttling with stock cooler then he doesn't need a D15
brisk rain
90C with an OC is less than ideal, and the D15 can be used in the future upgrade
twin urchin
so can either of the $50 ones
also, theres a possibility that a D15 might be too big to even fit. (i haven't been able to find max size for a cooler in the case)
brisk rain
170mm
The main issue with the d15 is ram clearance though
Hence why I recommended the D15s
The noctua should also run quieter
twin urchin
even if the OC doubles the power draw, its still well within what either of those sub-$50 can handle
brisk rain
They'll be louder though
twin urchin
probably, but they are pretty damn quiet themselves
twin urchin
not sure off the top of my head, but it won't be worth the price difference
brisk rain
I'll put it this way... the mugen 5 is as loud as AMD's cooler designed for threadrippers
Honestly, if you just want to do cheap, get the CM 212
twin urchin
mugen is like 35db under load. shadow rock 3 is similar. his case fans are probably louder. D15s is complete overkill and a waste of money for that guy.
cm212 would work too but is a meme at this point lol
brisk rain
Given that the TDP capacity of the stock cooler was not enough, noise was listed as an issue, and upgradibility was a plus, I recommended the D15S, since I considered that the best bang for the buck for the requirements. I stand behind my choice, end of discussion
twin urchin
damn, u pwnd me

Cooler the main things that matter are CPU, case, and ram
The DRP4 will work, and the D15 should work
D15 would be tight though

D15 has more cooling capacity iirc. If you get a different case, I would recommend using that

burnt goblet
long story short. Go and watch the Gamers Nexus video on that topic @wintry atlas
wintry atlas
thanks @burnt goblet as much as this guy streams his opinion every other day...i've been looking for the last 10 minutes on this video that would actually benefit me
wintry atlas
I found one that helps me find out thermaltalke is crap with everything it does...so thats good cause everything i got is thermatalke lol
Thank u !
burnt goblet
you are very welcome :)
if you have questions after watching that one, please ask :)
wintry atlas
omg @burnt goblet im not gonna lie.. anewbie like me...all these graphs and wording ..im lost..lol
burnt goblet
the long story short-ish is this:
Water VS Air is a question of trades
Water is the one that carries the biggest risk (not that it is a very likely risk, but it is possible). In that there is the chance of a leak.
wintry atlas
i finally comprehended that towards the end. Thank u so much for showing me this. Him and these other youtubers have videos that spark my interest
burnt goblet
generally, Gamers nexus does fairly informative videos. It is however required that you bring your brain and a willingness to use it :)
wintry atlas
im trying! lol I think i brought it lol
burnt goblet
:)
but that is the duality of pc building and tech like this in general.
a question can "seem" simple, but the answer is not remotely simple :)
wintry atlas
im flustered cause i literally have been posting to my friends the build im thinking of doing and at the last minute their just like oh..no u shouldnt have done that
burnt goblet
if you think about it. That tells you a number of things.
wintry atlas
Its like dude ive been learning computers and everything that i can possible understand in building a comp since the beginning of this year. I know so mucch more now...but that is also me reading article on top of articles of the best pc cases, the best gpus etc u know
burnt goblet
generally (and this is a very broad statement) there are very few 100% wrong ways of doing things.
there are however a lot of not-optimal-but-it-still-works ways
the challenge/confusion comes from people not making certain that everyone in a talk are on the same level
example: Lets say you ask about CPU choice.
wintry atlas
everyone says amd
burnt goblet
And i suggest a enterprise model of a cpu.
yes, technically that cpu is nice and all. But it also 100% the wrong thing to suggest to you
but it could work
it would be hellish expensive
but it would work
so that fits in the "not-optimal-but-it-still-works" type of situation
When someone asks for a recommendation, the first thing (imo) is to ask them what they actually need.
not what they want. but what they need.
wintry atlas
yeah exactly Ive gotten so much help from a dude on pc picker than anyone ive talked to! lol and that was his first question was what I was going to be using the computer for.
i just found out recently that they actually make cases that hold 2 comps in them. Which i wanna go that route sooner or later since I stream, so a micro/mini atx would be nice, but i wanna do more research on that route.
burnt goblet
:)
something you could do, is also have a voice chat with one of us here.
where you just ask away until you run out of questions.
(voice chat because it is quicker to answer)
wintry atlas
absolutely! and I may hit u up on that once i compile a bunch of questions! lol I'm kind of a done deal since i literally have bought everything and going to be putting it all together soon. I will have questions on actually putting it together since everyone and their mom have different ways of doing it
burnt goblet
3 pieces of advice for putting it together
read the manual
dont rush
and most importantly, dont rush.
wintry atlas
lol oh imma be a nervous wreck, imma stream it lmao I actually found videos of people building in the case i got:O
burnt goblet
generally i would ignore most videos on building
read the manual, and IF it logically does not make sense. Ask someone that you trust to actually answer you.
wintry atlas
honestly...I havent even taking stuff out of the boxes yet lol i didnt even know stuff comes with manuals anymore!
burnt goblet
the mainboard manual has just about all the info you need to start
also, side/bonus advice: Assembly and test start/boot the system OUTSIDE the case
wintry atlas
yup! dude on pc builder told me that and u only put the minimal on it so u can pin point what could be the issue. 🙂
wintry atlas
my friend her peeps told her to just snap everything in and there ya go. I rather take the extra precautions to make sure everything goes right..the first time around
burnt goblet
and depending on case, it will ofc be the cable that is the hardest to reach (if it is installed in the case that is)
cold island
ya and if something isnt going in right dont force it
wintry atlas
I would link the build im doing to give u guys an idea, i linked it in build chat..early last week, just to give u guys an idea. I'm not gonna lie...im pretty proud of myself with my budget and what ive tried to learn about components along with what I actually want out of my computer.
I found out in feb when i got a 2060 super the inwin 303 my bro built me on cyberpower pc...had no intake fans! lol so i put 3 intake fans in the bottom...sadly to say I didn't realize that until the 2060 super was fried and giving me issues to no end.

What are the pros and cons of aio water coolers and custom water cooling loops?
spiral dock
Water cooling more expensive, but tends to look better and have lower temps. However LTT and other people have run tests to prove that water cooling isn’t really as worth it
low pumice
@topaz blaze AIO = Simple cheap near custom performance,
Custom = Expensive good looking hard to do high-maintenance high performance
Gamersnexus did a really nice piece on air vs aio a while ago
I suggest you go watch that if you're interested in air vs aio
but this is aio vs custom rn

if youre watercooling something price/performance is usually less of a concern than performance

the simpler/cheaper option is to just get something that is not a stock intel cooler.

My case is a musetex 903, basically its a ok quality case with 6 rgb fans (they aren't very practical for air movement tho). I got my new graphics card 2 days ago and a new 700 wat power supply, put those in and the heat coming off the graphics card is heating up the entire case when its under load, getting temps up to 90c on my cpu (50c on graphics card which is odd) when playing games

open rampart
I have a Corsair 275R Case and ordered a Lian Li Galahad 240 AIO. The more I look at other's builds questioning whether will be able to fit the AIO at top due to MB heatsinks/RAM. IF I have to move to front would it be better to pull air into case from there or exhaust it out the front? Main concern is if the 240 AIO will prevent adding third case fan on front. Was messing around with Corsairs Closed loop tool and they suggest to use the front as exhaust with the fans pulling through radiator which may theoretically allow me to install the three fans on front with partial radiator coverage, but of course this wont be a closed loop.
azure crown
im very certain that you will be able to mount it up top
that should not be an issue
open rampart
If I have three fans taking in air in front and the 240 AIO at top exhausting, do I need an additional exhaust fan on back?
azure crown
so i would suggest three intake at the front, top rad exhaust
if you want it to look cool with more fans, sure, but it wont help anything
actually, i would say it would do more harm than good, because now theres less air going through your rad
open rampart
Cool. Didn't know if the rad would decrease air pressure going out by a certain factor requiring an additional fan to keep the pressure a little lower.
azure crown
you want positive case pressure, not negative
so 3 intake, 2 exhaust is fine
air will slowly, passively exhaust out the rear
open rampart
I've order a 3 pack of QL120s, but they are going to take a couple weeks for some reason. If I build now with the 2 supplied case fans on front and the rad at top will it be sufficient until the QLs come in.
open rampart
So based on your earlier comment of enough air for RAD, I wouldn't want to intake more air in from top rear would I?

Yeah but it's a tiny bit above budget for me
Will have to see if I can fit it

It does cool well tho
just not the best
I suggest a NH-D15s
great for ram compatibility AND good cooling
at like 80$

nh d15 and dark rock pro 4 and the same

if u like nh go for it
if u like dark rock pro 4
go for it they both cool really well
Im preferring the drp4 bc it's black for my case
Thanks for the info
I was just worried if it was good enough for a 10700k since those apparently run hot

@magic sparrow you up for this one?

@topaz blaze We looking at GPU in the loop as well? Hard-line/softline, dual loop, how many rads, etc? Still few things to need to know about
topaz blaze
gpu is unable to be water cooled, soft tubing and 1 radiator which can be 240mm, 260mm, or 360mm
magic sparrow
Do you plan to do the GPU later on when you change it or something? I would generally not go custom loop at this point and just get a good AIO. Getting a custom loop for CPU only that's actually better then an AIO would cost a fair bit. There are decently cheap and okay custom loop options tho. But a good AIO is a lot better then what most would think

Well I like Bykski and Barrow for being not to bad in quality and being very cheap. Tho, as they are made in China shipping prices are going more and more crazy. Still cheapest option for being fairly decent, but slowly losing that point as shipping prices rise.
$220 total for CPU only kit, RGB loop and all. $335 total for CPU+GPU and 240mm/360mm kit. Given the nice discount on the fully kitted out one, it might be more ideal to wait until you get a new GPU for going custom loop

is soft tubing or hard tubing better?
im new to water cooling
trying to learn more
cold island
one isnt "better" than another
hard tubing looks better usually but is harder to do, soft tubing is easier and more forgiving to beginners (dont have to bend tubes)
viral grove
any difference in performance and cost?
cold island
soft tubing will be a little cheaper and no performance difference
viral grove
hmm ok
magic sparrow
also maintenance difference. Hardline is very hard to do maintenance on. You cant move anything around until you drain the loop and disassemble it.

if you search for the d15 and then click "service" on the noctua site

The cores range from 2.6 to 3.9 on all cores but when I manually put in my oc from bioa and it restarts windows I'm good to go till pc goes to sleep or is turn off again it's weird as hell. I'm thinking it's something with cpu or my cooler and paste

Can anyone recommend good aios for a 10700k because apparently the 3000 cards are going to blow hot air into my air cooler? (Other than arctic freezer bc I don't have that in my store)

It'll raise CPU temps by a little tbh. Air temp isn't GPU temp and air temp will more then likely only increase CPU temp by a few degrees

if it was really high like 90c, then you would know its probably an issue with tightening something

open rampart
So have a build in process and wondering about cooling layout. I have a Corsair 275R which has room for three fans on front, two on top, and one on rear. I purchased a 240 AIO to go at top and 3 QL120s to go on front of case. However AIO wouldn't clear ram so I had to front mount the AIO. I put the RAD on the inside which allowed me to still mount one of the stock case fans at the bottom below the AIO fans. Going to move the QL120s to the top and rear. Should I buy a higher CFM fan for the bottom front to push more air into system or will a higher CFM fan steal too much air from the AIO fans?
open rampart
No the fans are on outside and then radiator inside. Fans pulling air in front panel and pushing through rad.
Current set up. QL120s still on the way.
normal cipher
thats gonna push hot air through the rest of your system
your intake should take in cool air, and then let it heat up for an exhaust
open rampart
AIO won’t clear ram.
normal cipher
yeah this is quite the predicament
cold island
it wont kill ur pc if the aio is in the front
rugged nimbus
You can do a reverse airflow setup if you like
normal cipher
i honestly cant think of a reasonable way to make that work, i guess just hope that less airflow and hotter air from the aio doesnt push your cpu or gpu too hot. at the most you wont be able to overclock too much
rugged nimbus
As in, pull from the front
open rampart
Yeah, but most of the benchmarks from placement have actually shown this setup works well, even better than exhaust. However, main concern is bringing in enough air for 30 series.
normal cipher
okay, maybe just do like you suggested and put your CFM fan by the AIO, and stack up on exhaust fans so you have negative air pressure?
youll just have to clean out dust a bit more often
or something like this:
velvet stone
I need to rework the cooling in my case

crisp mica
Im no expert, but you could do in through the front and back, and out through the top.
I think that would be a good basic set up.
autumn nimbus
Ok and that's positive pressure? lol im new to this

Youd have 4 fans pulling in, and 2 pushing out, so, yeah
autumn nimbus
Ok cool. Thank you so much

what is a good priced fan controler?

autumn nimbus
I had a question about which rotation my fan should be on the top of my case. They are outtake and facing outwards but im curios which way is top.
Does anybody know?
Like facing right, left, towards me, or towards the back of the case
or if it doesnt matter
normal cipher
You mean, just rotated on its axis? or facing forwards or backwards?
cause it only blows one way, and intakes the other way
autumn nimbus
Rotated on its axis
normal cipher
oh
autumn nimbus
I already figured the intake and outake im just curios if they need to be rotated a certain way
on the top of the case

no it doesnt matter, usually people just try and have the direction the power cord goes out, closest to the nearest cable management hole
or generally just the best place to hide the wire so it looks nicer

Hi guys. Im looking at maybe doing a custom loop for my next build, but I have some questions. Even the custom configurators ie Corsair and EKWB are confusing to me. EKWB has an option to cool VRMs, which I am unsure if I should want, and I am also unsure of which type of tubing is the best for me. I want to make a custom loop mostly for quiet and for aesthetics, but Im also not expecting to be JayzTwoCents level of aethetics - just something that looks good. Is anyone able to give me a few pointers?
rotund osprey
you run the risk of basically crushing parts
@burnt goblet oh boy yeah gonna change that out asap
magic sparrow
@thin trench cool VRMs on mobo or GPU? mobo VRM cooling isn't really needed most of the time so I won't go for it. As for tubing, soft tubing is probs best for a beginner due to tubes being hard to bend nicely and ease of maintenance. Soft tubing can still look quite nice too. Lastly, I'd recommend Bykski or Barrow for liquid cooling parts as for a few degrees less in noise normalized perf you save half the money.
topaz blaze
I know we don't really know.. but do you guys think a noctua d15 or drp4 will cool enough to deal with the heat coming up off the 3080 top fan?

So I got a 2700x and I just installed the Lian Li galahad 240mm AIO (top mounted) however, my temps still seem a little high (max has reached 68 while gaming) and lowers to 30C and jumps to 40C while idling and just cycles. I use core-temp to measure temperature I think I have auto OC enabled in the bios but I'm confused on why my temps get so high and if I need to update certain software. Thoughts?

I wouldn't worry about <70c under load.
Of course, if you want to lower it further for personal reasons, you could reapply the paste using x method, manually set frequency and voltage, that kind of stuff.

It's also same fans that's on the Arctic freezer ii :D

is it ok to have negative air pressure for gaming pc (all exhaust fans?)
magic wave
it's whatever
if you can put intake fans in a case, then do it, and if there's no feasible way to create an intake because of a poorly designed case, then I guess don't
my case is like that kind of
there's a single 70mm or 50mm fan mount on the front, and a 92mm mount on the back, with the PSU on the top, so I can't just swap directions and decide to go back to front, and I need to find a niche fan size to complete the front to back fan setup

@cyan vessel it's suggested to have balanced negative and positive airflow.
There's also testing done by LTT for completely positive and completely negative airflow

oh yea i saw that video
just a random question, is it possible that it will overheat
its cause i built my friend a sleeper gaming pc, and i accidetnally put the fan that was meant to be intake, as exhuast, so just worried it will over heat and mess up the components
magic wave
should probably flip it around
