H510 airflow issues

[TrinityLocus]

(PARTS LIST BELOW)

 

I'm helping a friend build a computer with a NZXT H510 case and a massive graphics card inside, well with that combo I'm having some overheating issues with this build. I have a 120mm aio for the CPU which is intaking air in the back 120mm fan space. I also have two intake fans up front bringing in air, while the top fan is the out take. I have also repositioned the power supply to be facing down ventilating air below the case and not right onto the GPU, yet the computer still seems to climb slowly but surely to the bottle neck threshold of 85 degrees Celsius. I have messed with fan tuning and flipping the bottom front panel fan to an out take, I know its not a thermal paste issue due to the fact when the side panel is off its perfectly fine running although i will be checking the thermal paste this weekend. ANYWAYS IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS TO WHICH COMBINATION OF FAN DIRECTIONS WILL HELP PLEASE HELP OR IF A NEW CASE MIGHT BE THE ANSWER ALSO LET ME KNOW!

It’s the H510, not much you can do. Maybe switch to a better case, the 510 is pretty bad.

 

 

Also if possible return that PSU, it’s a fire hazard

The H510 has horrible airflow and thermals. It's a garbage case. Also, a 120mm AIO is worse than a single tower air cooler, so that's not helping matters.

would this be a quality case for the price or could you suggest one that wouldn't have him take out the aio and isnt above like $120?

okay thank you for the suggestion I'm having him order a new a case if you have any suggestions please help. Also for right now hes going to use that psu for the price until he saves up to get a new one in a month to two months. please make sure the case isn't above $125 and has good airflow, I found this one below let me know what you think.

That case is still really mediocre. I’d get the P360A, same price but significantly better. Also refund the AIO if possible and get a Scythe Fuma 2.

if you already have the h510, then add some extra fans.

You can add all the fans you want, if no air can get into the case, it isn't going to help.
