Need pc fan case advice
Posted by GooseSudden@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments
I’m having pretty high GPU temps on my PNY RTX 5070 and I’m trying to figure out if my airflow setup is the issue.
Current fan setup:
- 2 side fans as intake
- 1 rear fan as exhaust
- 3 AIO top fans as exhaust
- Recently added 3 bottom fans under the GPU as intake
Even after adding the bottom intake fans, my GPU still reaches around 75–80°C during gaming.
One thing I noticed is that I still don’t have any front intake fans installed, even though my case supports 3 front fans. Could that really make a big difference for GPU temps?
What confuses me is that in YouTube benchmarks with the same/similar GPUs, people are getting around 60–65°C or even lower under load.
Could the missing front fans be the main reason, or is there something else I should check like fan curves, undervolting, airflow direction, ambient temp, etc.?
Any advice would help.

You shouldn't compare benchmark gpu temps like that. Definitely fan curves, and ambient temps play a huge role. Also I wouldn't wanna place fans under the gpu, static pressure gets fucky, I'd rather move those recently added fans to the front as intake

Thx I'll change that fan to bthe front as intake
