Problem with CPU temperature Need help resolving overheating concerns.
Hello! Your Windows 10Home 64-bit system runs smoothly with the specified components. The cooler is positioned correctly, and updates are handled through Armory Crate and AMD tools. The CPU stays cool under light loads but warms up during heavy tasks like Prime95 or Furmark. The GPU temperature is around 70°C, which is typical for this setup. If you suspect airflow issues in the case, upgrading the fans might help. Otherwise, other factors could be involved. What do you think?
The 7900XTX is a powerful machine, but running at 70°C can cause hotspots near 95°C and heat buildup inside the case from the 400W+ output. What are your GPU fan settings? It seems your AIO radiators should be running in push/exhaust mode. You might also want to boost the AIO and case fans to improve airflow. I've noticed a 5°C drop on the GPU, bringing the hotspot down to around 12°C. Another option is to lower your CPU voltage with PBO and try a -15°C setting across all cores.
It seems your setup has poor airflow. Both the main front intake and the top exhaust are mostly blocked. This is likely causing the issue. Your GPU sends most of its heat into the case, depending on the case's ability to vent it. I’d suggest taking off the front and top panels to check if temperatures improve.
I thought this situation wouldn’t perform well in airflow, but it turned out worse than expected. I’m attempting to obtain a replacement. My friend suggested getting one with the front IO oriented forward rather than upward, since there aren’t many options. Thanks to everyone for your assistance!
Your friend really values design details, so I’d suggest giving the Asus TUF GT501 a fair look. It could be a solid upgrade if it meets their style preferences.
It doesn’t seem too bad overall; the front is partially blocked but airflow should still be decent. The price is pretty high, so I hope you value quality beyond just the brand. Wouldn’t it help to use a trusted case maker such as BeQuiet, LianLi, Phanteks, Corsair, or Fractal?
I try, but It's hard to find cases with the front IO facing forward. I thought aroung 120€ isn't too shabby for a case. There is alsothe newer Asus 302 TUF gaming 302 which definetly looks very promising regarding airflow but he doesn't quite like the look. But I'm optimistic we will find a solution - if not I'll propably open a new Thread or something. Thanks again!
