How to keep CPU & HDD cool?

[hotcaptain]

Hi guys

Please help to see if there's any way to improve my cooling options? Sometimes even have to open up my casing so the temps will go down

Casing: jonsbo u2
CPU at 60 degrees
SSD running at 41 degrees [right at the bottom]
Average load 70-85%


I have 1x exhaust on front hdd [hopefully i orientate the fan correctly to be exhaust]
1x intake fan at the back [Cooler Master: GeminII M4]


There are three fans right smacked to each other, is their performance affected?

So 60 degrees is at 70-85%?

yes, is that normal

70-85% CPU load - 60 degrees

so far i still think its alright, given how tight space your casing is, even my atx hits 90 on 50%. but pls bear in mind my pc is 5 YO and i dun have a good airflow and environment, plus im running on onboard gpu for some android games as well.

Normal cpu idle should be 40 - 50 degrees

Sounds normal to me...

if it hits over 90 degrees at 100% load then I will worry

anyway try running OCCT see your max temp and idle temp

have ssd and hdd at the edge of the intake fan


for example your fan is a circle
then you put the ssd at the top or bottom of that column of fresh air ... so it can touch the fresh air but not block it right at the middle
ssd even better , you can tie it on sideways since no moving part , not need strictly be horizontal

your temp is ok

cramped casing ... not much choice ... the pancake style cooler recirculate and ingest hot air
