Hello, I built a PC this past summer and I am just now realizing that my airflow setup might not be the best, I have an h500i case, with two stock coolers(on the left, and one on top), and a 120mm water cooled CPU cooler(on the right) it came with the pc so I'm not sure which CPU cooler it is . So I was wondering if there was anything I could do to optimize my temps and create better airflow in my pc, thanks!

What CPU do you have? 80ºC could be a bit high. I assume the answer is yes, but is there a fan mounted to that radiator at the front?

I think this is the best way you could lay out that case: radiator + fan mounted at the rear as exhaust and both fans mounted at the front as intake.
What are your cpu temps at idle and under load?
10-15c over ambient is good at idle and 75c under load is ok too.

I doubt you need to do anything.
Looks like you could add a 120mm front intake fan.
thanks for the reply, Idle temps are about 30 degrees Celsius and under a stress test, they go to around 80 degrees Celsius, and would the front intake go under the CPU cooler?
