Hey i need your help! I'm either terrible at fancurves or my case has worse airflow than a damn Cherokee!

I have an rtx 2070 windforce oc from gigabyte , a ryzen 3600 and a b450 tomahawk max. And for cooling i have 5 deepcool (2 front and 1 top side as intake and 1 top and 1 back exhaust) rf120 fans and an arctic duo 34 cpu cooler . I've adjusted the fan curves for all the cooling product i own in bios , all taking temperature readings from the cpu and all of them with the same curve ( wouldn't call it aggressive) . I get 75+ but below 80 C on gpu and around 45 ish C (cant remember the exact number) on cpu. Cpu temps are ok i think but 75C on a 2 fan 2070 with 5 fans on the case is unacceptable!

Any advice would be great, and will guarantee a win in your next gulag!

If someone could spent 5 minutes of their time to help me figure this out it would be amazing really!!

Looks fine for a dual fan card, case fans won't change anything to it once the card already has enough fresh air, the limit is just the card's own cooler.

Well there's only so much you can gain, you have a reduced size dual fan card, it's going to run hotter than a full size 3 fan one. But it doesn't matter in the first place, it's fine running there.

The case has a solid front or a slightlt perforated front so of course airflow is either garbage or passable at best. A fan can only pull as much through a tiny bit of ventilation.

 

Also a cooler is only so good and your temps are fine. If you want silence and good airflow you need to get a airflow focused case and just some good fans like arctic p series. They are silent and move a ton of air.

Yea its solid in front , i am thinking of cutting it to aid airflow but that's a completely different story. Thanks for the help!

I'd just get a cheap mesh front case and sell the one you have. A good mesh front case doesn't cost much.

Can also look at some used ones. Like older (5+ year old) cases go for pennies and a lot of those older ones still do the fans everywhere side panel fan thing and that is about as good as it gets for cooling

Your temps aren't bad (at least not terrible).

Most cases with a closed of front panel has horrible airflow.

The small vents on the side of the front isn't enough to provide air to your intake fans. 

A lot of manufacturers are including an extra model with a mesh front to most of their cases these days.
