Venting gpu heat

[Nelia8686]

No need so troubleshoot. Just change your chassis to one that comes with a mesh front panel with alot of preinstalled case fans. Or leave your side panel off when gaming.

Or just live with it. 83 degree temp isn't gonna kill the card. It will just thermal throttle itself if it gets too hot anyway to reduce the gpu temp.

Next time if you are so concern with the temp get a better chassis with mesh front panel and lots of open holes around. And not something that just looks good but doesn't comes with barely any case fans and the whole chassis totally close off with no cool air that can go inside the case. I look at the chassis it looks like it is totally seal off. Totally no mesh or any holes for fresh air to go inside.

This kind of chassis good enough for low end office pc or low end gaming parts or with low tdp cpus that doesn't get hot is ok.

But for mid-high end gaming rig really not recommended to use this. End up not happy with temp will spend even more money buy more case fans what not. Might as well buy a better chassis to begin with.

You get more case fan also might not really help because your chassis totally close off no fresh intake air can go in how the case fan gonna draw cool air inside the chassis? Best is to change your chassis don't waste money on adding more case fans.

1 exhaust and 2 intake fan is actually good enough if the chassis has mesh front and lots of open holes for fresh air to go in.

Get meshify from fractal design loh, sure temps no problem.

Good quality materials, good airflow

vironix,

maybe if you can provide a pic (showing just the side) of your current case, from there I believe someone wise here will advise you with proper guidance without hurting your wallet.

1st as what Entry Level PC mentioned. remove both side panels, maybe use a physical fan to push cool air in will help?
well this is the cheapest way but not in a long run as I doubt you will want to keep your case open to collect dust.

2nd will be as what ragnarok95 mention, get a GPU PCI-E slot fan and some good case airflow fans.
if you forgo the blink factor. check out on Arctic F12 PWN fans, they are not really that expensive and does the job. I personally use Arctic Bionix F140 as I am already impress with their Arctic F140 PWN fans airflow.

3rd as Rapt0r mentioned, is to set your GPU fans to work harder.
It might be one of the cheapest way but then again, not for the long run.

4th which most mention is to get a new case with ample air flow fans, just get a budget good case and sell your old case.
if you don't mind to invest on a more expensive case. try Phanteks P400A or Fractal Design Meshify C.

Thanks for advices. Will check out better cases.

2nd that... The arctic bionix f140 is good, with good airflow and silent. Reasonable price as well.

In theory, you could set up some sort of toggle that switches the exhausting air between the two outlets, allowing you to use your computer heat to offset the heating bill by a little bit.

What heating bill? This is Singapore

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.

I agree. Only way is to change the fans. I used to have a PCI slot fan to vent heat out. Though effective but it can be noisy without a fan controller.

In Singapore context, there is no need for extra heating. Weather here is generally hot.

If your pc is only you can see inside room, take out side panel and use a 10" desk fan to blow directly at the card area. Can use USB fan also just not as strong imo.

I actually don't encourage doing this. Looks aside, I tried this in the past. After a month, my system is filled with dust. This is a short term solution from my opinion.

Been doing it for years. At that time the desk fan was $9.90 iirc so might as well. Key point is whether care or not people see the desktop. Mine is inside room so pretty much no one cares.

Personally preference bro. For me its more of a short term solution because you can't avoid accumulation of dust in the case.

any reco for good case fan and where to buy?

If don’t want to spend too much go for the phanteks p400a. Lazada got sell.
Check out the TOP airflow case review of 2019 by gamers nexus on YouTube. They are very direct about cases that don’t have proper airflow
