55-60k Intel rig

Buddy, you have mounted the PSU in the wrong direction. The Fan should push the hot air outside the PSU, not towards the motherboard.

yup but just a question:

Since this cabby (source elite 210) has lower panel for PSU and i will connect psu's fan facing outside the cabinet that would be facing downward. So all the air will go to the table, cabinet is placed on. Won't it heat up the table/create some kind of pressure as trhere will be no space for air to leave??

It will, but it is better to heat up your table rather than heating up your computer components like Motherboard, GPU etc.

Okay. Will change its side now. btw at the moment the max temp of cpu usually goes to 47-50 when Opera,Skype, Stream are running. Is it normal?

and i will try to manage cables too so when i will take wire to the other side of the cabinet (from the opening it has) , is there any chance of sort if they touches cabinet side panel and other wires?

 

[topgear]

Haswell cpus [ and for some IB and SB too ] heats up a lot so you better get a lean and mean after market cpu cooler [ around ~1.5-2.5k ] which would be better than stock cpu cooler.

Yes, the PSU is mounted wrongly.
Cilus, AFAIK , the fan will not push the air towards the motherboard, that fan is an intake to cool the PSU Components , and the air is pushed from the Vents at the back of the PSU( where we connect the the Power cord) , correct me if I am wrong !

You are correct. PSU's fan is intake, not exhaust.

 

[deepanshuchg]

Whatever intake or exhaust, it fan should face outward. Right?

 

[rijinpk1]

yeah. downwards. just opposite of what you have done.

 

[koolent]

All I know is that the PSU has it's own ventilation system with a fan. It doesn't care what temperatures the other components are at (like a boss). It will take air from the bottom which will obviously be cool, circulate it through the components throwing it out from the back of your Cabinet.

 

[deepanshuchg]

Have changed it position now. Yep all were correct here, it was wrongly mounted as now I can see the Antec branding which was previously hidden by the right side panel.

 

[topgear]

can post load cpu temp while gaming, encoding videos etc. ?

 

[deepanshuchg]

Don't have any graphic card so haven't bought any games atm. Any software which can perform some stress task and note maximum temperature?

Don't use any stress testing software just for the sake of fun.. First, get a aftermarket cooler or your CPU is going to reach its threshold temperature and it's not good.

 

[bssunilreddy]

The cabinet should have intake fans and exhaust fans and the PSU should be placed with the fan blowing into the case so that all the hot air will be thrown out of the case with up draft motion.
Intake from the front and exhaust from the top of the case.

This is just opposite to what other suggested. Now how will I know what's correct?

PSU's fans are intake, not exhaust. they cannot blow air into the case.

Do i really need to spend 1.5-2k more on a aftermarket cooler considering these facts:
1. I am not thinking of OC gpu or cpu.
2. The average temp atm on normal browsing remains below 45C of all 4 cores.
3. I will install at least 2 fans on cabinet once i'll get a gfx card. (dnt know if there is any relation b/w case temp and cpu temp )

Do i ?

 

[topgear]

^^ There's relation between case temp and cpu temp.

Don't have any graphic card so haven't bought any games atm. Any software which can perform some stress task and note maximum temperature?

try cinebench R11.5 and for temp monitoring run HWinfo sensor module in background.

try cinebench R11.5 and for temp monitoring run HWinfo sensor module in background.

So if I can maintain case temp low with some cable management and case fans can I skip after market cooler?

Will post the result of this once I get on pc.

ran cinebench 11.5 as suggested and got this result:

didnt understood how to record via HWinfo so ran real temp when was running that test and max temp raised to 68C

So how are the results?

And here is opengl test result of HD 4600:
