You've assembled a PC setup that seems functional but may need some adjustments for optimal performance. The airflow in your H440 case isn't ideal, which could affect cooling efficiency. Your current fan configuration includes front intake, rear exhaust, and additional top fans, but the CPU cooler is using just one fan—this might limit airflow during intense gaming. Temperatures spike to 100°C during heavy loads like Assassins Creed Odyssey or Cyberpunk, then drop briefly before rising again. Since you've already reset and reconfigured the NH-D15, it's possible the cooling path isn't fully optimized. Consider adding more intake fans, improving case ventilation, or upgrading to a better cooler for sustained performance.
