Hi,
First of all I have the following:
The problem I have is with the cooling. I used to live in a cold apartment with great AC but now I moved to another city with hotter weather and the ambient temp is usually around 30c.
Due to higher cpu temps (the gpu seems to be fine, 4-5 degrees above the usual but nothing major) which reach higher than 80 sometimes, I had to disable xmp profile to keep the temps at a reasonable level (~68c max after disabling xmp).
The thing is, some of the cpu intense games show a big difference in performance with xmp enabled and disabled (AC odyssey for example) so now I looking to a solution to solve the heat problem.
First Idea I thought of is to get a new 280mm liquid cooler (kraken x62 or something similar).
But I'm not sure if that's enough. I'm worry that's a big part of the problem I have is the airflow.
So before start looking into a new liquid cooler, I want to ask, do I need to get a new case with better airflow? (something like h500m, meshify c)
Or I'm good with the current case if I get a better cooler?
I really like the case because of the ease of the cable management, drive bays (I have 2 ssd and 3 hdd and still can install multiple drives more) while h500m only has 2 ssd and 2 hdd afaik.

Should I get a new case to reduce the temps? or installing a new liquid cooler in my current case (h440) is enough?
First of all I have the following:
- H440 case (3x120mm nzxt intake fans in the front, 2x140mm out fans in the top, 140mm out fan in the back)
- i7 6700k cpu
- MA610P cpu cooler
- 2080ti msi trio
