I have this specific case https://gamemaxpc.com/productkkk/212-en.html (Gamemax Elysium) and my GPU is overheating like crazy (85-90 degrees under stress) but i did an experiment and i saw that if i removed the side panel the temperatures lower a lot to the point where i get 65-70 degrees under the same circumstances. Can I do anything about it? If not could you recommend me a good case around 60-70$ ?
BTW I have an rx 580.

Your case is the Elysium Black, with a solid front panel?, if thats the case those front fans are doing basically nothing for airflow.

Do you have any exhaust fan at the back? If not, I will try the following: move those 2 front intake fans to the back panel and top back panel to work as exhaust...
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Please list the specs to your current build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

We can move forward with suggestions. I think the cost of adding fans to the existing case would be near the same as buying a new case. The case you currently have also has the fans placed near the front panel meaning they aren't bringing in fresh cooler ambient air into the case. Moving the fans inside the case isn't going to be of much help since the the front interior part of the chassis will allow a single 120/140mm fan. You could place fans at the top and rear set to exhaust and draw cooler air from the front without any fans there but that will require you to experiment.

Preferred site for purchase?
