Venting gpu heat

[vironix]

Hi guys need some advise

I'm currently running a evga 2060 KO in a tecware m3 tg case

The GPU hot air is hitting the side panel tg and temps are at 83deg on load... I've already set a more aggressive custom fan profile.

What is best way to vent that heat.

Remove side tg panel, get a custom cut tg glass, get a custom cut acrylic?

Helps appreciated

Lousy case lousy airflow, change case

You'll need 2x 120mm in the front for intake, 2x120mm on the top for exhaust, and of course the 1x120mm at the back.

your main problem is that the front air intake is useless on the M3. The m1 at least had mesh.

Change fan. Insert a PCI fan exhaust.

Nowadays most casing are similar. They just copy each other. Only thing diff is the fan, and fan does play a part.

Remove both side panels.

Sell current GPU and buy blower-style 2060

looks like the front cover blocking the air intake, dont close the front cover and see the temp again

ur front is 2 fans or 1 fan?
and what heat sink?

2fans.


what heatsink?

 

[SkyShroud]

ur cpu heat sink is what type
tower or low profile

does it matter? issue is GPU not cpu...

first you need understand how the airflow works
non-blower type gpu usually blow the air upwards, sidewards and downwards aka pretty much all direction

low profile heat sink too also blow the air in all direction

u have two things that blowing air in all directions, it means the ambient heat will go up up up

The price for buying 2-3 good case fans will already come close to a better case.

Try to open your side panel and see if your temps drop.
Either have more exhaust fans or change to a better case with better thermals.

would rather get a better case with good airflow like those case with mesh front cover.

Option 1 buy powerful intake fans around 70cfm if you do not want to change case

Option 2 buy new case like tecware alpha with mesh front

Option 3 use msi afterburner and tweak the fan curve to do 100% fan speed at 70+ deg

Usually option 3 will do the job.
