I do have a top dust filter, should I switch the top fans to intake? That would be 4 intake fans and one exhaust.

Top 2 are 140mm, Rear is 140mm, Front 2 are 120mm.


That's how I have mine setup and my PC barely gets any dust in it except for in the filters and a bit on the fans.

It's better for temps sometimes too

If the mesh is fine enough that you wouldn't be pulling a lot of dust through it I'd set it up as intake

The fans are exhaust on the top. I'll keep it this way. Also I think that's the same kind of filter thats on the top of my pc.

Thanks for the advice guys. <3

Awesome, someone else also using Nzxt CAM. Such an amazing software. Been using it since beta 2.0.

Your temps seems perfectly fine. You should test the maximum load for a more precise look.
Prime95(CPU) and Furmark(GPU). Run them for 15 minutes or so and then check your temperatures. This will also make sure your system is 100% stable.

Also click the top right corner for CPU and GPU for advanced overview.


Ignored much? :(

I would leave the tops fans as exhaust.

Your temps are fantastic for 5Ghz.


but since he has proper dust filters might as well go intake and have a cooler/less dust build up system.

Well it was a guide to get a more accurate overview of your actually temperatures.

'I must pass all stress tests!'
So if I made a program that crashes you at stock clocks, you would feel compelled to underclock your CPU, even if that application in no way represents real-world usage? Passing "all stress tests" really means passing "all stress tests that people happen to have made". If nobody decided to make ultra-mega-Prime95, you would think your overclock is stable. That seems like a random, haphazard way to figuring out if your overclock is stable or not. Computers are built for using, and whether you crash at Prime95, what really matters is whether you crash often enough while using it normally. Forcing yourself to pass a stress test "just in case you use it to its limits" makes no sense either. No point in going down "what ifs" which have no signs of ever happening. And if it does, work it out when it does.

Run 2 different types of stressing programs, and then use your computer normally. If you crash, then it's not stable. What's stable for you might not be stable enough for me. Some people need 100% reliability because of their jobs.

Let's not get into a semantic debate about the word 'stability'. If you define stability as 'never crashes on anything, ever', then I don't care about your notion of stability. That criteria makes no sense either because the only way to be sure you are stable forever is to test your CPU forever. The world doesn't end if your CPU crashes on you. Run a stress test overnight, then go play video games to test things out. If you ever end up crashing in the heat of the moment, lower the multiplier by one and you should be perfectly stable.

That's the whole point of stock speeds... safe at 100% load for extended time, as verified as warrantied by the manufacturer.
Something like aida64 can run high end server processors at 100%, so I'm pretty sure they have plenty more than what your i7/R7 take advantage of.
