Gpu temperature

[Masteton]

I have an asus rog strix rx470 4gb. Normally this card gets 63-65 degrees on full load as I have seen in some reviews. Mine is getting 70-72 though in full load, with fans on max.

Is this an airflow issue? In the first picture is my pc with bad cable management, I made a little bit better and -2 degrees ( I was getting 72-74 before). Can do something more and fix this heating problem? 

Or is just my mATX case causing the problem. There is only one case fan installed, I don't know if I have space to install another one in the front.

does temperature improve if you have the side panel off? and by how much?

Also the most logical answer, the reviewers are in a temp controlled environment, 19-20c, so your room is probably warmer than that.

Yeah. Now with the case open I get 62-63... So could I do something better with the case closed?

The question should rather be should you?

And the answer is a resounding no.

72c is already a really good temp for a gpu,

for example my gtx 1080ti is running at a constant 87c, and i don't care, it is less than 90c, so i am happy. Generally the thermal limit is 84c, so anything below that is fine.

Oh ok! I thought that it depends on the card, so I thought this card is normal around 65 so 72 is kinda too much. Anyway thank you!

you could change to a case with better airflow, your GPU is dumping ALL of its heat INTO the case, if the case doesn't have the airflow to remove it then it starts heating up the case, which also results in the CPU running hotter. If you want to improve temps you need to increase airflow, the side panel removed showed you just how BAD the airflow in your case is.
