What follows is a solution to a mix of a homegrown problem, weekend project, and experimentation. I've summarized the results and how to get there in this article, in case anyone else falls right into that niche. But even if not, it should still be interesting for the rest.
Problem
Any good problem solving should start with an analysis and description of the problem, so let's start with just that. My system is in an O11 Dynamic because that type of case just lends itself to the position on my desk. Not very original, the case has felt everyone, I know.
But who still remembers, I have this type of housing for a long time and also like to use it. My Inter-Tech C701 was just starting to get a little small, hence the change.
As you can see here quite well, I have configured the top and bottom fans as Intake, only the side fans act as Exhaust. Why, when other arrangements might be better for temperatures?
Simply because that's how I think it looks best. I care about the look of my system and I'm still going back and forth a lot. First custom sleeve attempts included. But now to the actual disadvantage of the fans blowing out from the side. The air heated up by the 5800X (120 watts) and RTX 3090 (370 watts) is transported to the second chamber of the case, where it affects the PSU and especially the hard drives.
And so it happens that my two 4TB HDDs do start to sweat at normal room temperature. CrystalDiskInfo throws out a warning from 50°C, by the way, as I had to find out. By the way, hard disks are designed for up to 60°C, but less won't hurt, of course.
I test my various approaches with a simulated load from MSI Afterburner in combination with CPU Burner on 8 cores.
