NZXT H500 too Hot should I swap cases?

Naturr

System:

ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit, Red
Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series - 500GB PCIe NVMe - M.2
2080 Super
NZXT H500 ATX Computer Case, CA-H500B-W1
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3

 

15 minutes into a game like Warzone and my system BSOD's.  GamerNexus seems to say that this case with 2 fans is the best cooling option.  I don't know if I should replace the stock fans or swap it out for a Coolermaster H500M or Meshify C?   Budget is up to $400 and ideally I want it maintenance free and quiet.  I will do CLC if that is the best route but I would love advice such as "Get an Meshify C and add two fans two XYZ fanst to the front".   Thanks for the help all.

I doubt that a BSOD is caused by overheating hardware, unless it's a overclocked CPU not having high enough voltage. I would recommend to look into HWinfo while gaming to see if thermals are actually the issue. You could snap a picture of your BSOD, there usually is a code saying what is the issue with the system.

Did you actually check that your system is overheating? Would be unwise to just make an assumption.

 

I have the same case with an i5-9600K and RTX 2070 SUPER, temps never exceed 60C on my GPU, 70c on my CPU (both overclocked). The case has great thermals in my experience.
