I got a prebuilt ABS PC from Newegg. Specs are:
CPU: Intel 10850k
CPU Cooler: GAMDIAS AIO Liquid Cooler (newegg link here)
GPU: EVGA 3080 GPU
Motherboard: Z490 AORUS PRO AX
Case: Rosewill Spectra D100 (newegg link here); it has 3 intake fans and one exhaust fan
RAM: G Skillz Trident 32GB 3200Mhz
During some games like Halo, the CPU temps are not too bad (50-60C). During more demanding games like COD Warzone and Microsoft Flight Simulator, the CPU temps can hang around the 80s, and occasionally go as high as 90. Occasionally it may crash when it gets to 95.
I updated the Motherboard's BIOS to the latest version. Still no luck. The CPU cooler is controlled manually with a remote controller; I increased the fan speed to the maximum, and it still didn't change the temperature at all even though the fan noise level was noticeably louder.
1. What else can I do to quell the CPU temperatures? Is there some trouble shooting I can do with the motherboard to prevent it from getting that hot, even if I sacrifice some FPS in the games? To my knowledge, I'm not overclocking, or trying to. I'm just letting the pre-built PC do its thing out of the box.
2. What would be the benefit of going with a different case (such as a Cooler Master H500)? The Rosewill Spectra d100 is a budget $50 case that ABS is using b/c it increases their profit margin. I haven't seen detailed thermals on it online; it has 3 intake and one exhaust.
3. What would be the benefit of using a different CPU cooler altogether? I didn't find much information on this GAMDIAS CPU cooler; reviews seem okay, and again, I get the vibe ABS is using it b/c it's cheap and increases their profit margin. But I'm not too knowledgeable about CPU coolers to know if upgrading to a different CPU cooler will make all the difference since this is also a Liquid AIO cooler.
The GPU temps are at a rock solid 78-79C and never go higher than that.
