New build PC, overheating GPU!

[jchandak26]

Okay so i just built a PC,
Here are the specs-

Cabinet- Antec GX200

CPU - Ryzen 3 1200 (oc it to 3.8 ghz)

GPU - Msi Gtx1050ti oc 4GB

MOTHERBOARD- Asus Prime B350 Plus

PSU- Cooler Master MWE 500w 80+Bronze

RAM- Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb ddr4 2400mhz

Storage - 1tb WD HDD/ 120GB kingston SSD

Okay so when i play games like Watchdogs 2, Assassin creed syndicate,etc. i get good framerates, but my GPU temp hits around 78-80 Degree. Idk whats the issue, my CPU Temp is good at around 55-60 degree while gaming. Also, one important note, i dont have any fan in the cabinet that blows the hot air out of the cabinet, can that be an issue? Should i buy a good case fan for that? Please let me know!

Option 1: GPUs come with manufacturer software, you can tweak the fan profile of the graphics card to cool it with 100% fan speed before reaching high temps. It will get a bit noisy.

Option 2: You need intakes that blow cool air towards your graphics card and one or two exhaust at the back/top of your case. Have more intakes than exhaust to create positive pressure and lower dust accumulation.

yeah i know i can tweak the fan speed but that will eventually decrease the life of my fan, also there is no way i can put a fan that can blow air on graphic card, what should i do?

You wrote you have an Antec GX200 case. One rear fan is included and you can put two 120mm fans into the front. Read the manual, you might have to remove the front cover.

Place one case fan into the front bottom position, something like the Be Quiet BL039 Pure Wings or just move the one from the rear to the front and report back

You can also try gaming without the side panel on. If the graphics card gets cool air and still runs hot, it is not an airflow issue.
