A link to my pc setup and my afterburner fan profile.

EDIT: People didnt see the hyper link so here screen and photo pf pc setup and fan profile:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/fh3f10kmi4uhkf7/pc%20and%20afterburner.jpg?dl=0

 

My problem, I run an ARK Survival Evolved server all the time. My pc idles at like 35-40c with the server running. When playing Guild Wars 2, with the server running in the task bar, my temps peak at 74c. So thats fine for me but when I play Ark on my server while running it my temps peak in the min 80's and even reach 90c. When I take my case cover off they drop to around 72c. Just a note, my CPU never goes above 35c. When I play ARK with no server running (playing someone else server) my GPU temps are still in the 80's. Running the server and playing only increase the temps by about 5c. I have decent fans and good airflow to my knowledge and almost perfect cable management thanks to my case. Any insight would be appreciated. I live in the desert and its gonna get hotter and these temps make me nervous. I know from reading that my GPU runs hot compared to other cards but when i seen steady 85-90c I wasnt ok with those temps. Thoughts...?

Get some well positioned fans, and you shouldn't worry about 90°C, they can run at 94° fine.

Do you have a fan curve customized?

It sounds like you already know your problem. Airflow.  What is your fan setup? (How many in and how many out?)

And then 95° they throttle.

You have more outtake than intake, and also use that 8350 to heat up what little air comes in. No wonder shit's heating up...

[fizzgig21]

I have

1 top exhaust 140mm 118cfm

1 rear exhaust 120mm 74 cfm

 

2 x 120mm 70cfm intake push on radi

1x 120mm intake pull on radi

 

and a custom fan curve with afterburner

Yes, but those outtake fans have no radiator restrictions. So you have negative pressure. And you're not running the most power efficient CPU, so that will add another 200W of heat into the case at full load.

 

If opening the case drops temps by 20degrees, you have crappy airflow.

[fizzgig21]

Yes I realize its an air issue thats why I noted that the difference when I take the case off, so people didnt waste their time on other solutions. Im not sure what to change. So I apologize, I guess instead of thoughts...? I should have said Thoughts on what to change? 

 

...or something to that effect.

 

Larger push fans?

 

I dont think making the top or the rear into an intake is a good idea.

 

Would removing the cable management bar and adding another pull be worth the trouble?

 

Before I go spending money and changing everything around and take this out, op didnt work, take that out, op that didnt work ect...that id come here as a friend suggested and see if anyone here had...thoughts

 

if no one does, thats ok, then off to frys and troubleshooting.

[Majestic]

No, pressure matters, obsctructions usually have little effect on it. Look at LTT's latest video on airflow.

 

Get some fan filters and make more intakes.

[fizzgig21]

I have tried individually changing both the top fan and the rear fan to intake and had very little difference. I understand the flow an pressure need to be right but I dont know what else to do. Im not an experienced modder and I LOVE my case. I dont want to try an mod it only for that to not work and then have to change something else and then my case would be fucked  and ofc I wouldnt blame anyone who did have a suggestion that I used and ended up not working. But like I said, I am not experienced enough here to just guess.

 

I realize need the proper pressure in the case with good airflow. I just dont know how to get it...

 

blah

 

Opt out of the dual radiator for a single? If so that means replacing 2 (cause I have 2 identical builds) and dont have the $$$ for that atm.

Throttles at 94 not 95

95 would make more sense (because it's a nicer number. XD)

Sorry if my posts are confusing. Im typing at work and have to leave and come back a lot.

 

Would putting stronger fans as the push for radiator be worth a shot? there are 2 on the front of the radiator as intake push the top and rear are exhaust. then i have an extra fan in there cause i had an extra fan so i stuck it on the radiator.
