Yes, according to Corsair's installation guide, the fan should blow cool air over the radiator, into the case. Now I am not sure this is the best method. I will give you all an update as I try another motherboard and psu. Thanks!
Thanks everyone for their input. I was wondering about the motherboard temps, as last week i noticed one of the MB sensors was running almost as warm as my cpu when stress testing! I *had* lol a Gigabyte p55a-ud3.
I wonder about the fan, because it was actually blowing cool air into the case...
Thanks a lot! I tried putting on a new 4 pin cpu fan earlier tonight, and unfortunately it still did not boot. If the psu fried, I would certainly smell it if I stick my nose to the back grill, no?
Thanks again!
Thanks a lot for your response! What might have toasted the psu? Was my stress testing too much?
Also, how might overclocking the cpu damage my motherboard? Is the cpu voltage somehow affecting the motherboard directly (other than the cpu being physically in contact with it)?
I am rather new...
Thanks for your comments everyone. I am running an OXZ600MXSP as well as a Palit 250 GTS with Accelero S1 rev 2 cooler. The heatsink is a Corsair H50 cooler (it's this corsair fan that stinks). I will try popping out the battery and do a cmos clear and report back. Thanks everyone!
Hello,
I am completely baffled as to what is going on with my computer. I have overclocked my processor i5 750 to 4ghz, which had been 99 percent stable for about a week at 1.300 volts, but was giving me a random error on prime 95 so i boosted the voltage to 1.3065 cpu voltage, and began a...
