hi everyone!

i got a 3700X and i think my stock cooler isn't doing a good job. it feels like its throwing the heat to the case (Fractal Design Meshify C) space and making it even more difficult i have a GTX 1070TI that's generating tons of heat on its own. i have 2 intakes on the top, 2 intakes in the front, an exhaust at the rear and another exhaust on the bottom front fan mount. i have a feeling I'm doing something wrong here with the cooling and because of that i get stutters and frame drops

do you have any suggestions? things i should buy? things i should reconfigure?

What amount of money are you willing to spend on a cooler?

What would you prefer an aio or an air cooler ?

But most importantly budget?

Before buying a new CPU cooler I'd first try setting up my fans in a way that actually makes sense. Set your front and bottom fans as intakes, and rear and top fans as exhausts.

The stock cooler should be fine for stock speeds. What temperatures are you hitting on your CPU that it makes you think that that's what's causing stuttering/frame drops in games (check with Ryzen Master or HWiNFO)?

 

Also, please don't make three separate posts for the same thing. We'll see it even if you post it once in a single section of the forum.

Change the top 2 to exhaust and the bottom to intake

 

What ram do you have and what is the configuration

id say around 300$ although it feels a lot for a cooler. i have corsair products so would be nice to have corsair but not a must. and i don't mind air or AIO cooler but if there is a budget option for a good AIO that would be nice, thinking AIO's are generally better than air coolers

fix your case flow first.

i can set it that way but im afraid the top exhaust will take fresh air from the CPU from the top front fan. what do you think?

im getting 63.3 on my CPU and 57 on gpu (both are from the max column on HWinfo)

I didn't read the airflow part of your post but now that I have I agree with @Mister Woof said 

First improve airflow and then the cooler

No it won't do that 

If there is intake inthe front the cpu will get the fresh air from there (typically the best config )

hey guys, coming back to you with results (took way to long then it should, personal life issues)

after configurating my fans to 3 intakes at the front and 3 exhaust (2 top and 1 rear) the system feels a lot better.

using HWiNFO64 im getting 459 C on CPU Die on average and 55C on the GPU (after using spotify for a couple of hours (and watching an LTT video haha)

after playing for an hour (apex legends) im getting 50.5 on CPU and 59 on GPU 

it feels a ton better and i have to thank you guys for the help, tho im still having stuttering and frame drops... any suggestions?

can you report what windows resource manager says for your memory usage?

 

task manager -> performance -> memory

 

specifically under hardware reserved section

i do have dcop on. i also set it to asus optimal in the bios (seem'd like a good choice, i think it does something like an AI overclock or something lik e that)

I don't really know what's the next step.

 

Some user get hardware reserved ram problem but doesn't seem to be case.

 

What games, what resolution, and what do you mean by frame drops/stuttering?

i mainly play apex legends. i play on 1080p, not pushing the setting too much. and by frame drops/ stuttering i mean the game just suddenly gets stuck for a super short moment (feels like a frame) and i look at the frame counter and see that i dropped from 144 to 30 and its rising back up. sometimes its server issues (i can tell by the weird server signs appearing in the right corner of the screen) but usually it looks like its my PCs problem. is there any chance that the problem is the HDD? i have a 7200rpm toshiba one that is about 5 y.o
