Little Lesson Learned

So for a while I was having issues with my GPU overheating and reaching 80C while gaming. I currently have the Phanteks P400S and the case itself doesnt have that great airflow plus I have areas on with a bunch of dust causing airflow to be deteriorated. So I took the front panel off and tried gaming and finding that my GPU only goes up to about 51C now. So luckily Phanteks has a mesh panel for the P400 series that I was able to swap on. So airflow in your case is a huge thing I'm now realizing

This sounds like the kind of cooling my old GTX 480 demanded back in the day. What card are you rocking?
