How can i improve the cooling of my case? CPU related

[Ricey]

The temps are between 70-81when gaming for my cpu, can i improve it. if so how?

[Crunchy Dragon]

It's difficult to offer recommendations without knowing more.

What CPU is it? What cooler do you currently have? What case? What's your case fan setup?

 

That said, 80 is on the higher end of normal but still well within acceptable temperatures.

@Crunchy Dragon
I havent built this myself so i wouldnt know how the fans were setup.
it's the i9-13900KF
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 is the cooler

NZXT H9 Elite

i have 3 case fans on the front side and 1 on the back

You might be able to gain a little headway if you slap some fans in the bottom and top to help move air through the case more efficiently, but I honestly wouldn't expect particularly great numbers. 13900K tends to run on the hotter side, so you're already more or less the best you could get, give or take a couple degrees.

 

Better airflow might bring your temperatures down a handful of degrees(less than 5), but unless you were able to get a larger radiator(and by extension, a larger case), you're about as good as you can be.

@Crunchy Dragon
this is how the pc looks like so idk if fans would even fit

Radiators should be intake

Gonna be fun to clean 2-3 years down the line if you mean an intake push. If you mean intake pull through the radiator, then sure.

I dont understand...

He meant to flip the radiator fan upside down, so the frame shows. That puts the air flow from exhausting to the top pushing through the radiator, to pulling the air from the outside through the radiator array.

right now ur radiator is taking hot air and pushing it out the case, that means pushing out hot air

 

for lower temps u want the radiator to deal with air outside the case and take it inside

so the little fan should be ontop but doesnt that mean i need to apply thermal paste again?

even if i asked u to take off the cooler of the CPU, then no, u dont need to put on new past or take it off

aio on the side as intake and back and top fans as exhaust well having bottom fans as intake.
