GPU Air Cooling Temperature

Hello,

My RTX 2070 has been running on load at around 74-75c max. I've been told this is safe and fine but the ambient temperatures during the winter are low. I'm concerned about the hot summers that will be coming in the future months and am wondering if I can get those temperatures down lower and prevent any potential issues in the future.


The case I'm using is an iBUYPOWER Trace Masters, it has a front cover so the air has to enter the case from the side vents and holes on the right side of the case. I installed two intake fans on the side case and regardless of what speed they are running at, they have no effect on the GPU temperature. 

 

My question is: Is there a better fan configuration or is there an entirely different solution I could try? The GPU is a blower fan as well, not sure if that is relevant or not though. I have attached some photos of my case and the fan configuration and can provide more if requested. Thank you for your time.

Aside from turning up the GPU fan, there's nothing that can be done. If it's any consolation, my old FX 8350 / GTX 580 SLI rig was an 800w monster, both 580s and the CPU were max OC'd. The 580's had a much louder blower cooler on them than your 2070 and the top card would touch 89-90*C during the summer months. It was fine, just loud and alarmingly hot. Last I heard both 580's run fine to this day. It doesn't matter that you're at 75c lol dont worry

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

Are the side fans where they are now in place for some special reason? Your GPU would get more fresh air if fans would be at front instead. Also adding fan under the GPU would help.

The side fans were placed there to help with intake of cool air into the case. I don’t believe it’s possible to mount them in front of the case since there is a cover with LED lights on it. 

 

I’ll try and see if I can put a fan under the GPU, the only issue I foresee is that there’s a big metal casing covering the PSU that extends across almost all the bottom of the case.

And I was sure I saw fan mounting brackets at front.
