MAX4U Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 my pc is on a flat surface i mean the motherborad is open with out a cabinet and the processor temperature goes 85+ without OC. so finally purchased a CM storm enforcer for my components but was wondering if that would suffice or do i have to need to purchase a CPU cooler. PS: not gonna OC or have an option to get a noctua nh 12 if i get freaked up..:! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 By "with out a cabinet" I assume that was with no side panel ? The CM Storm should lower temps but why not pay a little more and get a Hyper 212+ ? They're excellent and drop temps quite a bit for $50 . Just make sure it fits first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it fits first Without cabinet means that i dint have that literally.! just motherboard , gpu proc and psu running on a table. and ENFORCER also does fit a noctua D14.

GodlyManDude540 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Did you have a cooler on the CPU to begin with? And was it the stock one? And what CPU do you have? Edited June 27, 2011 by GodlyManDude540 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX4U Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Did you have a cooler on the CPU to begin with? And was it the stock one? And what CPU do you have? ) yes had a stock cooler on i7 950 without OC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1o2l Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Are you sure the stock cooler is on correctly? (OP stated hes using stock cooler in title) What is your room temperature? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX4U Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Are you sure the stock cooler is on correctly? (OP stated hes using stock cooler in title) What is your room temperature? yes, removed the thermal and applied it several times only to fail and the same temperature continues. Room temperature is around 28 and my idle temp is 38~40; and at loads it gets as high as 85+ and reaches 90, so just getting afraid..

GodlyManDude540 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Those temps don't seem right at all if you didn't Oc What program did you use to record temps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Even the stock cooler should be getting better ... The D14 is definately a huge waste of space if not oc'ing , even an H60 is overkill unless you just want to have space open and keep the cpu super cool .

Mercman Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Asus PC Probe is not bad but i have had bad temp readings on it with my old P5NE-Sli mobo.try core temp or real temp or everest and compare them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
