High CPU temperature detected when the cabinet side panel is in place.
the ryan zen 5 3600 performs well under load, reaching up to 3.6ghz turbo. it supports an rtx 2060 with 16gb ram and a 2400mhz memory. your case has six fans—three front intakes, one back exhaust, and two top exhausts. during gaming, temps stay around 80-83°C with high usage, but drop to about 67°C when the side panel is removed. that’s a 13-degree difference, which is significant. previously you used an i5 6500, where temps never exceeded 64-65°C even at full load.
I already have three intake fans at the front, set up as air intakes.
I’d consider doing a top intake as well. The GPU is getting a lot of heat, and the exhaust is moving it up to the CPU. Try swapping the front top for intake and keeping the back as exhaust for testing. You already have enough exhaust from one rear, and the empty PCI slots will release any pressure buildup.
They suggested relocating the exhaust fan to the bottom of the case. It seems there might be a different discussion elsewhere. The case appears to have perforations being shielded by the power supply unit. I’m curious if rotating the PSU to draw power from the case could help, though it’s probably not effective with today’s units.
