After installing my H110 I got a crazy idea to take an old 80mm fan I had and place it behind the cpu socket. I figured it's still the part of the cpu that gets the hottest so this couldnt hurt things at all.
The results were amazing to me.
took an old crappy 80mm led fan I had with industrial strength velcro
Pre fan install in temps in BIOS.
After fan Install temps in BIOS
CPU Temp dropped from 82.4 degrees to 77.0f a whopping 5.4 degrees which isn't a whole lot but it's something.
MB temp dropped from 77.0F degrees to 71.6 degrees for a drop of 5.4 as well.
Now I think there is 2 possibilities here
1. The fan blew directly on a temp sensor and caused a faulty temp reading or
2. it actually dropped the temps.
Any ideas on this stupid little experiment?
