NZXT H440 and R9 390 high temperatures

[Kerensky18]

Hello Everyone,

I have the NZXT H440 and the ASUS STRIX R9 390 graphics card. My concern is that with no obstructions in the case the graphics card gets to 90 even with 100% fan speed.

The case has no fans obstructed and I can't add any fans to the top panel (I have a AIO water block there for the cpu)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Neither the H440 nor the Strix cooler is particularly good at cooling, but 90C seems too high. You could try reapplying thermal paste, that might fix it.

Check the thermal paste and the dust on the cooler. If there is no dust, apply some new thermal paste. That should help.

I won the H440 and the 390 and mine can reach 90C, too. Part of the reason is the H440 has no side panel exhaust. Anyway, I am currently adding two 140mm fans to the top. They arrive tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes, though you say you can't add fans up top.

Your best bet would be replacing the intake and exhaust fans with ones that can push more air and run at faster RPM.
