Ok, it's a hot summer and the a/c in my computer room sucks (another issue)...
My Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ LE is running temps on average of 45c on idle (MS Office/Firefox), gaming at 74c with peaks at 80c. Fan is peaking at only around 60%, so that suggests that I really shouldn't be too worried about the GPU temps, maybe? Yes, I know that all of AMD's current gen cards are all heat burners (which conversely will help this room in the winter... all three weeks of it, later).
CPU is already w/c in a big Corsair Air 540 case with 5 140mm fans providing interior circulation. Will be soon replacing 2 of the 140's with 3 120's along the first intake grill for even better air movement.
Worry some / not at all? Undervolt the GPU a little bit maybe?
If I do decide to go semi-nuts and try to w/c this, what's a good product package to consider that isn't too tech intensive?
