hey, sorry for delayed response! the case is a gamer storm macube 310. i know the best solution is to upgrade my case, but i'm not quite ready to do that yet (both financially and research wise) and so i was just wondering if there's anything i can do presently to improve my current situation. my cpu and gpu temps both idle around 30 degrees right now and are not often under load so it's not urgent at all, just a bit of a bandaid until i have a case with better airflow :') 

Idle temps of 30C are normal. The temps that really matter are the temps when your system is at full load, use stress test software like aida64 to measure that. Do you have an idea of what your temps are when everything is at full load? That’s the easiest way to spot any problems. Also it would be more helpful if you posted your full build component list here so it's easier to get a sense of what's normal.

i will look into stress test software, thank you! currently while gaming the hottest i've ever seen it get is around 65 gpu/60cpu. i don't have much time to do anything more intensive than that right now lol so that's probably an accurate window into current day to day usage. 

 

build is: 

mobo: Gigabyte Z490 Vision G

cpu: Intel i7-10700K

gpu: MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6

memory: G.SKILL TridentZ 32 GB DDR4 3200

storage: Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB 

i'm not sure of the make of the psu but it's 750 watt, and i'm not sure of the exact model for the AIO but it's a gamer storm 240mm (i think it might be a castle 240EX?) 

 

thanks again for your responses!

You don't have any thermal problems to worry about. Your gpu's max temp is 93C and your cpu's max temp is 100C. I might be worried if your temps were in the high 70's or 80's on full load without an overclock applied because that might indicate thermal paste application issues or problems with how your cooler is mounted, but your temps are fine. If you wanted to try overclocking, it seems that you have plenty of thermal headroom to work with. If those are the temps you're getting with your current fan setup, you don't need to waste time moving things around.
