Pure base 600 airflow

[SSGSS]

Im seeing increase in temps with some of the games i played where without the sidepanel, the temps of my tuf asus 3080 12gb never reached the 70s, but with the sidepanel it increased beyond 70s and sometime peaking at 78 degrees. I had this pc build for 21 months now, im not sure if i should leave the side panel on, let the gpu run at 70+ degrees, reapply the thermal paste, pads of the gpu, add a few fans, im kinda lost here

hotspot temp?

I saw this temp on the nivida geforce experience add on when im gaming so im not sure. And i also dont know hotspot temp is

The PB600 was designed for silence first and airflow third. 

 

 

If you pull off your front panel instead of your side panel, how does that affect temperatures? I'd imagine similar to having the side panel off.

PureBase 600 is not a good airflow case at all, the 500DX is quite better

But 3080 is a quite hot GPU anyway, 75C isn't a big deal as long as your mem temps aren't over 100C

Surprisingly top panel doesnt have much of an effect at all, front panel also the same

And front panel only allows me to remove the optical drives cover also
