sorry for a noob question. i own a asus gtx 1070 strix oc and im getting 70C on my gpu temp under full load on ambient temp without A/C. i have 5 case fans installed. 2 120mm silverstone fans as intakes running at 1300+ RPM. and 3 exhaust fans. 1 120mm CM sickleflow x at 2000RPM at the back of the case and 2 stock 120mm case fan on the top (dunno the speed). whenever i open my side panel (gpu on load) the temp would go down around 5C immediately. is hot air trapped inside the case causing the ambient temp inside the case hot? how can i improve my airflow? cable management has been done neatly btw.

You should try to have more intake fans than exhaust fans to maintain positive pressure otherwise you will get a lot of dust in the system (just make sure all the intakes have filters.)

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

Sounds about normal temp to me. What is your room temp in general?

Around 27-28C during daytime. If i turn the A/C and set it to 24C then my gpu temp hovers around 62-65C, same without the side panel and A/C on. Any suggestions to improve airflow?

No reason to, those are great temps.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Keep A/C on. You can only go so low with air.

I'll repeat: you can only go so low with just air. Temps are good, no need to change anything.
