Hello :)
Not so long ago I've built my first gaming PC.
When playing games I noticed that my GPU becomes very hot (about 76-80 Celsius) and I want to replace the fans that came with the case for better cooling. (NZXT H500i)
My case supports 1x120mm (rear) & 1x140mm/1x120mm (top) fans. I need some suggestions for good fans, and do you think I will need to buy an adapter in order to connect them to my mobo?
Also, I have the NZXT Kraken X62 AIO cooler, and I was wondering whether I should change it's fans to better ones in order to get maximum cooling?

Here are my specs:

Any help would be appreciated.

That is a normal temperature.

"Under a 20 minute load test using Heaven 4.0, the RTX 2070 reached a max temperature of 74 degrees and a max clock of 1890MHz. These temps are consistent with the other RTX Founder’s Editions, and not really much of a concern."

I often see posts from people claiming their video card is too hot, when they have no idea what the normal temperature is. Perhaps they are confusing it with CPU temps.
