So I've currently got all my tack in an old acer predator case . It has no inbuilt cooling systems, I have had to add my own, however my MOBO will only allow one external fan connection (Acer G3-605 mobo).
For this, I have mounted an Arctic 82mm intelligent (thermal control) fan sucking air from the case - not blowing air in.
The CPU is not an issue, even under heavy duress the temps stay under 60c.
The GPU however (MSI armour RX580 2048sp 8gb OC edition) likes to get hot - only when the case is closed. It never goes above 80 but with the case closed its around 76c... with the case open it's around 56-62c .
I'd like to keep my case closed. What's the best plan of action? I thought about a GPU cooler, but should I need to?
