  1. No overclocking and I'd prefer not to resort to undervolting to fix a problem that most people with similar builds don't have. I haven't messed with the fan curves so I will look into that though, thanks. Case has decent airflow from what I've read up on, room temperature is generally around 73-76F Everything remains completely stock for how NZXT ships the case, which I have a hard time finding answers to whether or not the fans should be replaced or if the layout supports good airflow. Room temp 73-76F.
  2. Hello! I'm rather new to the forum, so I may be a bit lost as to where I'm placing this question but I hope you'll offer assistance nonetheless.

CPU generally idles at 45-55C and goes to 65-75 under load, which isn't bad but its on the toasty side for a Dark Rock Pro 4. GPU idles at 50-55C and frequently hits 80-82C on normal gaming load, highest I've seen it hit is 85C on Doom Eternal. As such, I am concerned about the rather high idle and load temps of the build and believe the culprit to be airflow problems, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to planning the flow out. I'm running stock H700i fans and layout and the PC has been given a proper wooden floor and enough breathing rooms in all directions. Any assistance regarding what case fans I should be upgrading to or any layout changes I should make is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
  3. I've recently been through the process of shopping for a new comp and found myself wanting a 3 monitor setup for use in both gaming in productivity, focused more on the latter. An overview of specs are as follows: Ryzen 3700X RTX 2070S (Gigabyte Aorus) (Using DisplayPort for the monitors preferably) 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM (Corsair Vengeance) ASUS TUF X470 PLUS Im looking to have one dedicated monitor for gaming and two side monitors for other things, preferably with VESA Support for a nice monitor tree, For the side monitors, I'm looking to keep on the less-pricey end of the spectrum with basic 60-75Hz, 27", FHD 1920x1080, and preferably IPS. For the main monitor, I'm looking for a 144/240Hz, 27", WQHD OR FHD (just not 4k), also preferably IPS. Uses would include music production, video editing, software development, and gaming. Thanks in advance
