Case cooling suggestion

Rumman · May 5, 2019

What should I do to minimizes GPU temps? As I have given the pic of my pc case and I am not able to changes the Casing right now. What should I do to bring down my GPU temps? As always it hits 77C as it is blower style cooler.

Should I make some modification in the front of the case for front intake fan setup? As my case is old, it dont have any front fan mounting system. I place my case on the floor and the case's behind always gets very hot from the GPU heat disbursement system.

Pls, give your Suggestion.

Put a large box fan up to it on low, keep the side panel off and for the love of god, dust that thing!!

77C is probably fine for a GPU temp.

If you can play at the FPS you want at the resolution you want without artefacts then its fine.

Don’t judge a a system by it’s sensor values, judge it on the experience it gives you.

There are several thing you can do:
First of all, as was already mentioned, try getting rid of most of the dust. If you have enough experience with computers and are confident you can do it correctly, then carefully try to remove dust from your graphics card. I once cleaned the heatsink of an old graphics card and the temps went down a huge amount.
Then (unless you are already happy with the results of step 1), install one case fan in the front of the case (mounting holes seem to be there, have a look what kind of fan might fit) and one in the back. If your case's side panel has fan mounting holes, you could also try putting a fan there and one on the back. This configuration has the disadvantage of not helping the hard disks that much but it should benefit the other components.
