cpu- i7-9700k @ 4..2
32gb hyperx ddr4 @ 2800
msi ventus 2x rtx 4060 ti 8gb
850w gold rated psu
one top, front, and rear fan
I recently upgraded to the 4060 ti from the dell 2080 single blower since I had to have a 2 fan model that is below 11" long and 4.8" high and that is all that is available right now. The performance is good but the card runs at a steady 60 degrees and the cpu has started hovering between 58-61 with occasional hotspots around 65-69. This is all when gaming hard at 1440 with ultra settings and usually ray tracing. The cpu is the stock dell AIO single radiator fan liquid cooler. I was able to OC my cpu to a steady 4.6-4.7 before with much lower temps. I have repasted the cpu in the past couple months so that is not an issue. The AIO works just fine. I can cool it a few degrees upping the front and top fan curve but these fans are far too loud to go as high as I think I need.
Can I replace the fans with better/maybe more fans? The proprietary parts make it a problem with some things dell. Which fans need to be the strongest? The card is horizontal to the bottom with the fans facing down away from the cpu. Maybe a case change if nothing else works?
