Case is hot; is my GPU overheating or do I desperately need better cooling?

Added a 120mm fan. The GPU tops out at 65-70C compared to 80C+, but the system is quite clearly a lot louder now (>>>27dB rating LOLLL). Hottest part of the case is 5C over ambient; previously it was maybe 20C over ambient. Thanks for the help.

You're GPU mining in a tiny 88R.  Of course the case is getting hot.  :D

Only 1 GPU

Yes GPU mining is profitable.  BTC Exchange market.  Mine low level coins, exchange for BTC.  I do so on my Furys when at work.  And CPU mine.  1700's do work.

Is it any more profitable than Nicehash?

Using case picture i can tell that some fans pushing air into oposite side, thats why where it should be coldest it is most hottest part in whole case because intake and exhaust fans pushing air into each other.

It has only one exhaust fan though out of the box

make sure that exhaust fan is actually pushing out of case air instead inside case(it happens from time to time where exhaust fan is actually pushing air inside due to wrong install side)

It's exhaust; even then I've already installed an intake fan recently (see above posts) and the cooling is good

also in which side your cpu fan cooler pushing air?

 

PS. I suspect that intake or exhaust fans doe not provided needed airflow(too slow in RPM or too small in diameter 90mm or below), forcing air to stay in case

I already installed the fans and they're working okay. I have no idea about what side the CPU cooler is pushing air lol

try take as thin as possible paper and put near cpu fan and you probably will know results
