Easy bake oven. lol

Before I bought the R9 with the 9900ks, I had some concerns re: cpu temps. Liquid cooling is the only effective option for this case. Even though the system is louder than a stock car race under load, temps have been ok. Idle temps are plenty low. Loaded temps at 5.0ghz can run to 80c. but hold there.

@Gunnar C :

Before running out to buy an AIO liquid cooler, I suggest you install some benchmarks to zoom in to the cause of the loud fan noise.

You'll want to use the benchmarks to load the CPU and GPU independently to see whether it really is the hot CPU that's causing this. Let's get some screenshots of temperature numbers for the CPU to see if it really is the cause of the loud fan(s).

@Gunnar C , @Anonymous :

BTW, is the CPU a 9700 or 9700K?

@Anonymous Should I order the liquid cooler directly from Dell, or would an aftermarket cooler be better?

@GTS81  75 degrees celcius with fan speeds of mid 50%

If you ran benchmarks with the case open and the swing arm pushed out, exposing the CPU fan, how much are the temps?

@GTS81 Also 9700

Ok, then yeah, probably that air cooler isn't adequate to cool things down, even for a locked CPU. AIO then like @Anonymous mentioned.

@Anonymous So if I order both of the fans you recommended, is it a tough install? I have only ever upgraded Ram in a PC 

@GTS81 When I run benchmarks, my cpu fan, top fan, and front fan all say about 80 degrees celcius. The CPU fan will blow 70% while the other two are below 20%.
