Hey there. I just build a new PC with 2600X (using B450) and Palit 1660Ti which has dual fan. The case is Aerocool Rift. The case comes with a fan behind and I am using the stock CPU cooler.
My situation is that the subwoofer of Logitech X230 sits on top of my case, exactly on the upper ventilation. (Used various PCs with this positioning, never had any problems and this is not my question.) The spacing between the case and the subwoofer is 0.5cm.
Highest temperature of CPU I've seen is 67 Celsius. Now, I believe this is a temp not to worry about, but the surface areas of the case which are near the CPU get hot and this is something I have not encountered before. Previously, in my build with i5 2500, which I have used for 7 years, only a small area of the case's surface would get hot. This leads me to think that I have a problem with airflow in my current one.
And no, I am not planning on overclocking. Precision Boost and Core Performance Boost settings are also turned off in the BIOS. Unfortunately, relocating the subwoofer is the last thing I want to do.
For comparison, idle temp of CPU is around 40-45 Celsius.
Here are my questions:
1- Would adding an outtake fan on top (under the subwoofer) help? Would the lack of sufficient spacing between the sw and the case render it useless?
2- Is replacing the exhaust fan with a higher CFM (mounted fan should be about 40CFM) one and mounting the current one on the middle front as intake a better choice?
3- I have an M2 SSD and as you know it is between the CPU and the GPU. Does this make watching the case temperature more vital?
4- Am I worrying too much? Because I know I overthink issues like these.
Thanks for the help!
