I'm not liking those heat readings..

    Allen, " I’ve also switched the direction of the other fans, so it pulls in cool air form the back and expels out of the front." You might save yourself some effort if you asked before making that kind of change. The direction you have now -back to front - is the reverse of what most folks do. And by the way in the “airflow” picture you should have a fan in the grill on the upper left (back side) as an exhaust, not intake.

      That kind of change wasn’t difficult, I have a switch on the front which changes the direction my fans spin, so they can either push or pull. the way it’s set is the fan at the back (the chimney) is always the opposite as the two at the front. I don’t have to mess around with screwdrivers or anything like that. Which I’m glad because to spin the top one around, I’d have to take my entire mainboard out because it’s restricting access to the screws.

      Also like this, I have a feeling my GPU wont be blocking the intake of cool air.

      edit - so in theory, I’ve attached the image of what I think the air flow would be like…

        1.5V is good.

          aye, it was push/pull before, but, there was alot of problems in the middle restricting proper flow. Though you mentioned my VIN voltages were a little high, should I be looking into changing them to standard?

          I just used some compressed air and cleaned the GPU, seems as it’s 2nd hand it’s a bit dust, I held the fans sprayed all the dust off, see if that would help too. after some time, and a bit of stress testing, I got some new reads for you guys, I feel like such an idiot, but all my rig needed was to be moved up and out of the way, and the fans sorting out.

          I’ve had a drop of 19’ Which is pretty darn good, though to be honest, if an incompetent fool like me didn’t build it, I don’t think it ever would have saw them temperatures.

            Nevertheless, the temps. are good now, that’s what’s important. Good job Allen.

              Speccy is too basic for monitoring temps and voltages, you need something like HWMonitor.

              Put your card theough it paces with Unigene Valley benchmark (free) and see how it gets on, Valley from here

              Changing the intake/exhaust direction of the fans would not alter anything, you would still have the same whatever problems in the middle.

              Good/tidy cable management doesnt half help with keeping things cool.

              Your RAM is reading 1.5V in the BIOS so leave as is now and see how things go.

                  Right, I thought I’d get it up on speccy because that was the program that I intially saw my big readings on, I thought it would have been more ideal to use the same program.

                      Once you are finished here would recommend you to open a thread in the malware section to fix this separate issue.

                        I have bought a temporary case until my partner gets me the case I want for my birthday. At the moment I’m using a CiT G force RGB. It was cheap, but is twice as effective then my old case for both cooling and size.

                        I’m currently doing my own scans for malware etc. If I can’t resolve it my self, I’ll get straight onto it

                          Did you run Valley benchmark Allan, if yes, how did the temps look.

                            I did a test yesterday and the temp was around 57-60, but it was only for a short period. Today I watched a movie, and left it running for a good while, came back and the temp was hanging artound the 68 mark. the settings were on ultra, but thats all I changed to the settings.

                              Hi Allan.
                              Is the Water Cooler emblem light showing over the CPU when running?
                              Just checking the water Cooler pump is working properly.

                                Yeah, my CPU signatures are fine, it hits 30 under load, and idles at around 10-14. The water cooler is doing a fantastic job. it was just my GPU, but I think because the PSU exhaust was pointing straight at it was the reason for the high temps. They are all alot lower now
