Does push pull really help???

[OrestisKotopoulos]

Hey guys! I need your opinion on something. I have the threadripper 2950x, the nzxt kraken x72 aio as well as the asus 2080ti strix oc all inside the phanteks enthoo evolv atx tg. I’ve noticed that my cpu runs a bit hot . I mean idle temp is about 42 degrees Celsius but it often spikes to 55 degrees Celsius with very low cpu usage(5-7 percent) and a couple of seconds later it goes down to 42 again. When playing games cpu temps vary from 55 to 65 degrees (sometimes 70 for seconds) . Also because the cpu cooler is mounted at the front of the case my gpu idles at 52 degrees celsius while gaming it hits 79-80 degrees. 

So what could I do in order to improve my cpu and gpu temps??? Would a push pull configuration help? Should I buy 3 Corsair ll 120 fans ( I like these fans and I’ve heard they’re good) and use them with my existing nzxt fans to make a push pull configuration???

 

Note that: 1) I would love to put my cpu and gpu in a custom loop but watercooling voids gpu warranty and it seems pretty risky.

2) removing the front panel result in about 4-5 degrees lower cpu temp.

3)my cpu is not overclocked

 

Thanks in advance!

Temps are fine. If you want lower gpu temps mount the radiator to the top.

BUT TEMPS ARE GOOD.

I don't see any problems with these temps whatsoever.

Temps are fine here.

 

those temp spikes I believe have to do with how those chips boost  (they do at least on ryzen, not sure for TR)

CPU Temp is also dictated by the room ambient temp.

My Ryzen is 35c at night, but on a hot day it can be 45c idle.

Unless you're really pushing for every single °C off your components Push/Pull isn't worth it. You may see 2~3°C improvement and that's if the fans on the radd already aren't the most efficient (Static Pressure - Good for high fin density radds).

 

Really though for the parts your temps are fine assuming the 70°C on your CPU isn't the tdie temp.

A lot of great responses already - and yes push pull will help but looks like its not needed in this situation unless you are like me - chasing the lowest temps possible (then its Custom loop time lol).

Extra fans will help but it won't be more than 3-4*.  The issue, as you have alluded to, is the case.  Case makers are more concerned with form over function and apparently good air flow and good looks don't "mesh" very well.

70 c is the max temp that the cpu hits and that happens rarely. Idle temp is 42 degrees with some random spikes to 55 c

Ambient temp is about 25-26 degrees Celsius

Yeah, temps are fine. If your CPU starts idling in the 80℃'s let us know

Your Temps Are A Bit high but should not damage the components. If you would let me know your cooling config and your cpu/gpu I can help you out.
