Hi all
Recently i been gaming alot since i got my rig together and i been noticing my temps pushing 70c this is with power and temps maxed on msi after burner. I was running Furmark and noticed the hotspot was hitting above 90c highest was 95c.
Im running the Asus Helios with 360 rad for ther CPU in front and i only have one fan pulling air. I dont know if adding 2 more fans would make any differene or this case is just bad air flow which i would start to consider a change of case.
I have notice some graphics glitches playing Black ops 6 and one time playing cyebrpunk (then again cyberepunk has always been a bit glitchy )
could damage taken place ? any ideas as to run a anothger stresstest program?

You mean you have one fan set to exhaust? If so, I would move the AIO tot he top, have that to exhaust and then get 3 fans for the front to intake fresh, cooler, ambient air.

Those temps are within temperature.

70c is fine I know some spike to 73c or higher my own 4070 super was sitting at 82c and 95c hotspot.

I did a repaste and my temps went to 73c max and 87c hotspot if you list the model I may be able to point you into direction of what you need.

I have a H100 in front, 2 exhaust fans in the top of my case and 1 on the rear. Coolant temp for the CPU settles at 30°C (room is 20°C) and the GPU sees 70°C as a max .

Look back a few years on YT. Bitwit made a video on water cooling radiator placement. The GPU temp variation was a couple of degrees. The CPU benefitted due to cooler air on the radiator.

As an experiment, does the problem go away with the case side panel removed?

In theory it should right because air is being exhausted out the side of the case not the top but i will test that
 
This is perfectly normal. 70° max temp is good for a 4070 ti, especially if it's an Asus OC model. I can't believe someone told you to repaste. You might damage your card to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

If you want to improve your temp, you are better working on your airflow rather than listening to people who tell you to disassemble your card. Make sure you have at least 3 fans on your 360 mm radiator (I personally have 6) and at least 3 other fans in the case for the intake/exhaust cycle. I personally have my radiator on the front with 6x 120 mm intake fans (push-pull), 2x 140 mm exhaust fans on the top and 1x 120 mm exhaust fan on the back. All my temps are great.

By the way, the glitches you see in your games are certainly not caused by an overheating GPU.

I dont believe it is electrically conductive

not conductive however
While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths
