[@EliteRock]

It's bordering on cynical, trying to make it look appealing to non tech savvy buyers when there's no way they don't know it's compromising cooling. A lot of cheap little consumer boxes are designed that way, the makers assume that because a given chip is rated to 110C they don't have to concern themselves with air-flow/cooling (any time you touch one of said boxes, e.g. a media streamer and it's nice and toasty on the outside, you can bet there's a chip or two sitting at egg-frying temps inside it).

Yeah I just bought a prebuilt. Im waiting for it to be delivered right now. I prefer to build Pcs myself but this time around I snagged a prebuilt for a 3070. Many of the prebuilts had conflicting reviews so I bought the brand with the least amount of complaints/crashes. I hope It's decent.

I have used many 212's over the years and they have always done the job. The new all black ones look even nicer. My last build had the dreaded i7-7700K which was known for being a hot CPU. With the 212 and lowering the stock voltage slightly, it never went over 65 degrees during stress tests and ran at full boost speeds.

This was like a REALLY GOOD video, congrats. I felt like the content was kind of in a plateau. Although I do enjoy your videos because they are entertaining it was just that, plain entertainment. This video was really informative and overall the content I think was way better than the past few videos. Same entertainment value, plus technical tips content, really amazing. In my experience I had to play a lot with thermals on my computer. It is technically a CyberPowerPC pre-built but I was able to change things around. What really helped of course was changing the cheap fan for an AIO, but working through different fan setups, I ended up allowing the graphics card to run cooler. I did notice an improvement on performance as I am sure the card was thermal throttling. But I like your ideas of going one step further and actually seeing if you can do something else to make the graphics card cooler thinking outside the box. Keep the good stuff coming Dawid!

[@b0ne91]

I've tested this extensively and in my experience, mounting top fans as exhaust always gets much better results. Since the hot air rises, I've always had issues with it being basically pushed right back onto the GPU.

[@Safetytrousers]

Any air flow overcomes any effect of heat rising. Any rising of heat is not what delivers heat to the top of your case. If you create negative pressure you will be speeding outflow from your case, and new air is forced in to fill what otherwise would be a vacuum. Also, enough positive pressure will force air out, with new air filling the space. What is best for your system will be dependant on your particular case, and number and placement of fans.

I had one of those Arctic accelero aftermarket gpu coolers back in the day. Made my r9 290 cool as a cucumber.
