Secondary PC

Swegly

So I recently upgraded one of my old prebuilt PC's and here are the new specs

 

CPU- i5 3350p

GPU- GTX670 DCUII

RAM- 8GB Ram

PSU- Corsair TX650V2

 

As you can see this PC has very good capabilities however I upgraded these parts within the prebuilt case. The case has very bad airflow and the graphics card hits 80 or more degrees Celsius when in games like CSGO or Rocket league causing it to throttle. I have temporarily set up a desk fan next to it which keeps it at manageable temperatures for the moment but I would like to get something less 'ghetto'. If you guys can help me pick a new case from this website https://www.netonnet.se/ with the best balance between airflow and price, I plan to move all the components into it. Thanks!

What mobo size?

I am actually not sure however it is within the Asus Essentio line of desktop PC's. If I had to take a guess I'd say mATX but I need to figure out for sure.

Take off the side panel, and make all outtake fans to intakes.

Where will the hot air go then? That doesn't seem like it would provide sufficient cooling.

The 200R is a good case too.

Did you just mention an NZXT S340 for someone who wants more airflow?

Is it bad for airflow?

Not bad but not great. It gets choked by the front panel

Personally I prefer open front grill cases as just front panels with intakes suffocate the case but imo the 200R would be better for airflow but the S340 is fucking beautiful to look at.

I just care about the airflow at this point. At this site https://www.netonnet.se can you tell me the cheapest case with the best airflow. I really dont wanna spend alot of cash. So far I like the 200R

The hot air will be pushed out the side of the case.

The thing with the case is, the graphics card fans point down and the graphics card is under the tiny holes on the side of the case. The warm air is constantly blowing on the metal below with nowehere for it to go and the metal becomes just as hot as the graphics card. It just isn't a safe situation and I would be sorry if i didnt invest into a new case.

ah, Now i get how these is built.

Getting a new case is probably the best thinh to do, I got a Cooler Master force 500 from Komplett.se for my dad, It has a ton of airflow has support for rads and is fairly cheap I bought it for 400 kr

why not save the money and just do this?

or this if you need it out of the case

were I work if a gaming rig is over heating instead of moving it to a new case we throw the fan that blows on the card underneath it and two exhaust fans on top as far apart as they can go i swear they work it would save time and money and it cools verry well I have one in my secondary rig (mine is a dell) and my card hits 70 at max load also side note my secondary rig has a 6850 in it and my house is fairly warm

Can you tell me where I can get this in sweden? Also which one do you think would be better for my situation. The slot where the graphics card is connected is below the holes in the side of the case meant for ambient cooling so the hot air gets pushed below the graphics card and gets stuck. It gets hotter and hotter and heats up the metal below (bottom of the case) to around 80 degress celsius.
