Thanks all for taking the time to read.
As stated in in the title my goal is to hit 4.5 on a 2500k while maintaining silence. All the parts are in-route, so no real world numbers can be obtained as of yet. Assuming I get a decent chip 4.5 is my goal, non self-contained water cooling is not an option.
*Specs*
Case- Corsair 550D
CPU - Core i5-2500K
MB- ASRock Z77 Extreme6
PSU- 650TX
RAM- G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)//1600
Vid- SAPPHIRE 100352OCSR Radeon HD 7950
Currently I have ordered no extra fans, or a cooler.
The 550D comes with three 120mm 800rpm fans. Two front intake, 1 rear exhaust. I would like to leave all of the cover panels on.
I am entertaining the idea of picking up a Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm- 1,850rpm mounted in the bottom position as intake and combine that with a H80 P/P using 2 Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm - 1,150's, as exhaust. The two 800's in the front slots stay as-is. I'm worried that the fact I'm using the H80 as the only exhaust is going to cause issues with CPU temp, or I will have way to much pos pressure.
Suggestions?
Thanks
