I have an rtx 3090 and a 5950x , while idle the gpu is sitting at 56 degrees. When i game the cpu hits around 70 and the gpu hits 83 (Temp limit) But after a while , the case is burning hot, i open the side panels and can smell the toxic hot air. I have 2 top chasi fans, 1 back fan, 2 in the front and a radiator on top. Idk what to do to fix this issue, Have tried removing fans, switching fans around to more air goes out, even tried the radiator. Nothing works. Any sort of help would be very appreciated.
 
Solution
That's the actual case
that is only a link to an image of the case & the cooler that you provided, not the actual make & models.
but it appears Phaaze88 has provided them for you.

do you have the two top 200mm fans mounted as exhaust with the radiator & it's fans mounted underneath of them?
this kind of setup may not work well if the "pull" fans on top are not pulling away enough air.
then the heat exhausting from the radiator gets blocked and warmed air can get pumped back into the case.

if this is how you have it setup; try removing the 200mm fans and allowing the radiator and it's 120mm fans to properly exhaust on their own.
is there something i can do with my airflow
i haven't see the model of the included fans...
Msi Sekira 500X
Coreliquid 360R

Looks like a combination of high power consumption, and a chassis with weak airflow.
Since the gpu dumps it's heat out from the sides, it blasts into the side panel glass - and since glass insulates heat, it gets warm too.
 
how do you have a 360mm radiator mounted in the top with two chassis fans next to it?

list the actual make & model of the case, the cooler, the fan models you are using and their orientation.
not just images.
That's it.. That's the actual case.. like piece by piece. which is why im asking for help . Am i doing something wrong with the air intake

I see. Well currently the gpu is mounted downwards ( Fans pointing down), Should i mount it side ways to help with the heat problem? Or is there something i can do with my airflow

i haven't see the model of the included fans listed anywhere.
most 200mm fans push quite a bit of air but others can be just aesthetic and these seem to be those type.
i would replace the front intake with a couple 140mm fans of known high quality / high pressure.
and just remove the top two.
Not much to do really except take off the front panel. It's a bad case and they bought their award.
@LasherX if you paid even close to the MSRP of ~$240 for this thing i would be returning for it a refund ASAP.
you can find MUCH nicer cases for MUCH less.

I will try that! Thank you <3
