Hi all,
I have hesitated for months since I built my PC to ask this question, however I realized I need help as recently my CPU temps have been climbing up to 100 degrees while running 1 single game.
This are my specs:
Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4
Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black
Intel Core i7-12700K
be quiet! Pure Base 500DX
Because of the design of the motherboard, the Noctua cooler has to be installed facing upwards, meaning to say the fan is pushing air out the top of the case. However as the case I have is a little tiny. I can only fit one fan doing a pull push configuration between the tower fins. The current fan config for the case is 3x120mm fans intake in front and 1x 140mm exhaust at the rear top.
My temps for everything else sits at 80-90 degrees, however my CPU temps registered 100 degrees straight while playing Total War Warhammer 3. I have nothing else open in the background other than discord (not active), steam and Bitdefender.
Is this a fan setup issue, or case size issue, or some other issue that I might have missed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated before I break the bank and buy a larger case (looking at Lian-li)
