Heating issue

Greenski

So I bought a new computer on sale this is it https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-intel-core-i7-7700k-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-240gb-solid-state-drive-1tb-hard-drive-black-gray/6030300.p?skuId=6030300 

 

It works really great and runs games really well. However the GPU gets pretty hot when I play pubg and the tempered glass gets hot where the GPU is mounted. 

 

So I installed 2 exhaust fans at the top and 2 intake fans in the front, but as you can see by the front panel there is little to no air flow getting in besides a small cut out at the bottom and the sides have small holes. 

 

When I take the front panel off and remove the dust covers it runs very cool. 

 

So basically is there a way to get better intake airflow with out having to remove the front panel? or maybe modify the panel so air can get in there or should I just leave it off when I play certain games. 

 

Also the magnetic mesh dust cover things seem to really drag down the air flow as well, is there an alternative to this? 

 

And yes I don't know diddly shit about computers. 

 

Thanks.

liquid cooling?

also its good to have more output than intake fans

Noooo. More exhaust than intake will just lead to crazy dust build up. More intake will have the same effect (more airflow) but with much less dust

That's an F in the profile pic

Is the i7 overclocked ? What cooler do you have on it? As for the GPU, that's a little warmer than I'd like. Generally aim for under 84 (as 84 is throttling temperature). Make sure you have enough fans on it and make sure the cooler is decent. Upload a picture of the inside!
