Need help with z77-ds3h Mobo

i know i had to optimize it in ways i added a third fan where they have the cpu air outlet and another makeshift fan port down under the gpu knocked out the pcie covers and put a exhaust fan there and the radiator is in the front in the cd drive bays it sucks in and then ther are the 2 normal fans which all that combined with the aio i figured would make it ready for some fight lol all the fans are 120mm.
 
Whats really nice is the front fans are blowing in and the rear fans are blowing out and those temps are with the cord mess meaning if i cleanup my psu cord mess i will get better airflow and lower temps.

That's how it should be. If not, then someone goofed when installing. You generally want front-to-back flow through the case. That said, many cases are now coming with "blowhole" fans - with large (120 - 140mm) to monster (200mm or larger) fans on the top of the case exhausting heat out, taking advantage of the "heat rises" principle of thermal-dynamics.

I am building a new computer for my son using an entry-level (for Antec) Antec One. It comes with a 120mm exhaust fan in back, and one 120mm exhaust fan on top. But it also provides the option with space (and mounting holes) to add 3 more fans; one 120mm intake in front, one 120 or 140mm intake fan on the bottom, and one 120mm intake fan on the side panel (but I don't like side panel fans, so that one does not interest me). I tend to really like Antec cases because they typically are very sturdy, "true" (exactly 90° bends) and they typically provide lots of fan support - even in their budget models like this one. Plus, Antec fans are of good design using precision ball or fluid bearings - which means they are very quiet and vibration free. And many Antecs have removable, washable filters - something I insist on for my own computers because I don't like breaking them down to lug outside for cleaning.

Plus, they don't have fancy front panels and most come without flashy lights - which do nothing for performance, consume power, add some heat and do nothing for performance (worth repeating). I like my cases to sit quietly and discreetly off to the side and not draw attention to themselves. After all, I want to pay attention to what's happening on my monitors, not the case.

I am aiming for a case like that I got the nvidia cm case because I can afford it at the time but I am planning on going bigger to be honest I myself love the antecedent brand and the coolermaster brand corsair is nice as well
 
Coolermaster and Corsair make good cases. Never heard of Antecendent and cannot find anything on them. Is that what you meant to say and if so, got a link?
 
Yeah, it gets me sometimes too. But I am not the best speller so I keep it enabled and keep adding words to the custom dictionary.
 
Yeah iPod touch 5th gen gets real annoying because it changes the correct stuff but leaves the misspells out of it
 
this is my progress at 4.3 i'm sitting at 27C for 0-2 and the third core sits at 22 and load maxes out at 67/69/69/63 0-3 respectively
 
Well, most scenarios will not push systems to maximum loads, but CPU temps in the high 60s would not be acceptable to me. While the CPU itself may be able to tolerate those stresses without damage (or increased aging) pushing a system to extremes affects much more than just the CPU; other components may not be as robust. So I stand by what I said a couple days ago - you need to back it off a bit.

If money to pay the bills is not an issue, or if the winning purse for "bragging rights" was lots of $cash$, that would be one thing. But if not, knowing you can then backing off to be safe is the smart thing to do. If you are a gamer, it is highly unlikely you will notice any performance gains going from 3.9 to 4.3 - except on paper (benchmark programs). It certainly will not change the "game play".

I agree totally I don't see much GPS gain as well I think the hoy makes that useless for ocing as I have the FTC 660
 
The graphics solution is not totally independent or isolated from the CPU. The CPU still needs to hand tasks off to the GPU. Plus, pushing the GPU puts greater demands on the PSU and case cooling. Game play is not all about FPS.

Indeed and to get it to hand more tasks off to the CPU I would think you would need a minimum of 700 MHz oc boost

lol

Speed alone is not the answer to everything.
