Enquiry on Corsair 4000D fan config (ish)

Hiyo, I'm wondering whether if it'd be a good idea to change from my current case (be quiet! Pure Base 600 with stock fans) to the Corsair 4000D,  being under the impression it might significantly improve my high temp issue. And if so, I wonder what fan config/specific fan would be recommended given my setup, such as 4x Noctua NF-A12s, 3x front, 1x rear. In many games I'm seeing both the CPU and GPU hit around 75-85 degrees Celsius. I'm under the impression that these temps don't pose any immediate danger to my components but would heavily prefer much lower temps. For example, highs of 70 degrees for the CPU and 65 GPU (naturally, give or take a bit). 


CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x (stock)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
GPU: AORUS GIGABYTE 3070 TI (stock)
[listed those I think might matter]

Yea temps may improve, but maybe not significant, maybe 5-10C.

4000D Airflow is good case, and you don't need to go with Noctua fans, waste of money to me.

Get Arctic P12s, perform the same for much cheaper, you won't run them at 100% anyway, because 100% case fan speed don't improve performance.

4000D already come with 2 non-ARGB fans, so get 3xP12s and add them to the intake, so 3 intakes 2 exhausts (rear and top rear).

ooooo I see, I think I once read somewhere that the both the arctics and (maybe only one of them) stock 4000D case fans can be quite screechy or at the very least fairly loud, have you heard of know of something like that happening ?

NOTE: think i forgot to mention but i heavily prefer having my PC to be as quiet as possible whilst maintaining good temps, I don't quite mind too much on splurging on better fans as long as the diminishing returns aren't too bad, seeing how much i use my PC (thanks for your input so far though)

Depends, if the P12s they bought are not the PWM one, then yes it will be loud, since it can't be configure to certain RPM, therefore running at close 1800RPM at all times. Any fans running at that speed would be loud.

The stock 4000D fans are fine if you don't run them at 100%, trust me, they are quite decent, unless you get a bad unit.

Ask anyone who is not a die hard Noctua fan, they will tell you that Noctuas are overpriced stuff, they were great once, but now everyone else has caught up.

Could you also share intake & outtake fan configuration?
Assuming that 3 FR fan is intake and 1 RR fan is outtake, I would recommend adding 1 more outtake fan (it can be placed at rear or on top case if a slot is available)
It should decrease 1-2 degrees as shown in old LTT video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmkmluAYAQ&t=709s&ab_channel=LinusTechTips)

 

It seems just a bit high for 5800X at highest 85 degree in gaming especially with tower style cooler. Have you change the thermal paste?
It's better to change it annually

I found this was ideal in my testing…(you should see an increased benefit with more demanding components)…

Also, you should ease the demand on your fans by going from two side slit, front air intake, to a full front mesh intake…

Temps are fine and not high. Undervolting would be an effective way to lower temps and reduce wear if that's the priority.
