Since the weather has gotten a lot hotter I've been noticing that my coolant temps have been getting a little too hot for my liking so I wanted to investigate. I placed sensors in the middle of my case and one outside to measure ambient, and what I noticed is that the ambient readings were around 27C whereas inside the case is around 33C, and can get as hot as 39C under load. Now naturally I expect the case temps to be higher than ambient, but I'm not sure what's a good range to lie in (obviously as close would be ideal). Is ~6C (or 12C under load) higher indicative of poorer airflow or is that a good range to be in?
Edit: I think I should mention that I'm talking specifically about water cooling
