[SOLVED] Should I stick an AIO on my cpu

[William Sage]

This is just a general question. So I am running an Founders Edition 3070 Ti with that said. We all should be aware of the volume of hot air it shoots up from the backplate. Currently running a coolermaster hyper cool I don't remember the name of it. but my cpu seems to idle at 40 when not under a load 5-14 percent load my case is relatively always open on one side just because of the design. I was thinking of switching to an open air case. The question is for right now when the unit is under a load and exhusting all that hot air into the cpu space should i swap it to an AIO like a NEXT triple fan aio

If you wanna do it right, get a new case and an AIO on top of it. But what case do you have right now?

AeroCool p7 I bought many years ago https://www.newegg.com/black-aerocool-p7-series-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811196100?Item=N82E16811196100 I like it but sadly its not the greatest for cable management. The back glass isn't even on cause of the bulky cables and free floating hard drives.

for better CPU temperatures you would need a better CPU cooler for sure.

whether that be a nice air cooler, AIO liquid, or custom liquid cooler is up to your budget and how much effort you'd like to put in.

my current 360mm AIO with the 11700K @ 5.2GHz keeps nice temperatures with lower fan speeds;
~30°C idle, ~60° max in games.
silent operation with fan curves maxing at 75%.
