Cpu: 3970x
Mobo: aorus trx40 prowifi
Cooler: kraken x73
Mem: 8x32gb corsair veng lpx 3000mhz
GPU: GeForce gtx1660
Fans: 2x noctua NF-A14pwm 140mm
Case: fractogel meshify C
Just trying to get some advice on my setup. I'm running some sims that are really taxing on my system and I would love to get my CPU temp under load to be sub 80C. As of right now they they bounce around from mid 70s to low 90s. I have placed my radiator in the front with 3x120mm attached and pulling air in to the case. I have the two NF-A14 fans up top for exhaust. I also have one stock fan on the rear for exhaust. I feel as if this case is pretty small. If you look at the attached pic specifically the radiator fans half of the 2nd and all of the bottom fan are below the GPU so its seems like the air flow might be in question. I have a Lian LI 011 XL case on standby. Its a much bigger case. I'm really thinking about trying that. I also have a castle 360ex on standy which has a square contact plate vs the circular contact of the x73. Given the large surface area of the 3970x maybe switching out the coolers would work. This CPU has a TDP of 280W so I know it's not an easy task. But I'm dying to get this thing under 80C. If anyone has any advice I would be ever so grateful. Thank you
