Sorry for my English beforehand, I'm still trying my best to master it.
So recently bought an old GPU for my rig, a GALAX GTX 970 duo fan with an incredibly small form factor.
The problem starts with the temperature of my card being 37°C, 5 min later it rises up to 50°C even in idle and stays there until full load it reaches 80°C and starts throttling.
I tried everything I can diagnose, I replace my GPU thermal paste, change the fan direction, but nothing works, even making the situation worse.
And then I the GPU to my friend setup (he has a full ATX case with very decent airflow( 2 intake front,2 exhaust top and 1 exhaust the back ) and wola ... my GPU full load at 70°C only.
The thing is I cannot copy his setup, because my AIO is in the way, and ... the GPU always pushing hot air to the case (direction in the pic) that I have to make both fans in the front panel become exhaust to pull out the hot air.
So here is my question, Should I copy my friend's airflow set up and forget about the hot in that place, or I make the opposite configuration? 3 intake at the top and the back, 2 exhaust in the front?
Can you guys recommend any solution to mine setup?
