Airflow question?

[pmos]

Hey all, I have been running this system for a while, and been generally happy with it. But I have heard that airflow in this micro atx (Bitfenix Prodigy M) isent too great. So I was wondering if I could improve it. The CPU (Intel Core i7 4790) runs at around 30-35C idle, and the GPU at 38C idle (Evga NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 sc 6GB). I have tried to make a picture (Yes in paint ^_^) of how I have set my rig up. Do you guys see any mistakes I have done? Something I can improve?

What temps do you get under load because I doubt airflow is an issue tbh

[pmos]

I loaded up Ghost Recon Wildlands for a while, and my temps read 47C for the CPU and 65C for the GPU at very high settings.

 

Edit:

I do use automated fan controllers for both case fans, CPU fan and GPU fan.

Those temperatures are fine, don't worry about it.

Temps are already good. No need to do any changes.

But even if they are fine, am I doing the airflow correctly in this machine? :-) Because if i'm not, then I can improve system temps a tiny bit :-)

It's fine.

 

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

Äir cooling can only do so much. You would need better coolers on CPU and GPU to improve those temps. And still it wouldn't be worth it.
