Help an amateur.

Ok so Im cooling a 7700k oc 4.9 at 1.365 Vcore with a Corsair H110i v2, and the temps are a little higher than I,d like but im delidding in a few days so that should help. But I obviously want to get the most out of the cooler as well, so my problem is that the radiator is mounted to the front of a Corsair Carbide 400c and while there are air vents off the side in that spot, the front of the case is covered by a solid piece of plastic, and im thinking this is messing with the airflow into my case. My current set up is like this        //  R  F => Is there a better way? Also if you dont get my diagram // is outside R= Radiator F= Fan and => indicates direction of airflow thanks in advance.

You can combat the restrictive intake by doing push/pull on the rad

What are your temps?

I max out on aida 64 pretty quickly at 91 but usually no more than 85

Gaming temps? Heaven bnchmark temp looping for an hour temps???

 

Looking around. It seems your temps are on par with others....are you sure that you can't lower the voltage without losing stability?

gaming usually maxed out at 80 on the high side, some games only 75, as for the voltage, Im no overclocking master, and to be honest I didnt test as thoroughly as may be i should have, so no i may be able to drop the voltage a few milivolts. but for sure at 5ghz i wasnt stable under 1.380, but thermally throttled in Aida so I dialed it back to something I knew would work. Anyway, ive done some research and found that short of going push pull ont the rad, thats about as good as im going to get, thanks all for your help.
