Hi All, I have an ibuypower prebuilt trace mr case, it has the rtx 3080. I started playing last of us and monitoring the temps and the GPU was like 180F+ , the SSD got to 140+F, CPu was 158F+. I took the side off and the SSD all those temps went lower and stayed lower as I played. I’m playing the game on 4k with high and ultra settings. I enclosed a bunch of pics, it has 6 fans, liquid cooling with the radiator and the ssd is located right under the gpu. How can I improve the airflow / cooling without buying a new case? Any ideas are appreciated, thank you

    Hello htank910, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    Mount the radiator at the top if it’ll fit and remove the front glass if that’s possible too

  3. Remove the grind panel restricting airflow

    Also please record temps on Celsius

    Looks like the fans on your radiator are pulling the hot air in, instead of blowing out through the radiator.

    Your case is very restrictive. There isn’t much you can do besides remove the front panel or getting a new case

    Absolutely replace case look for one with 3 bottom intakes and place for 360 AIO at top
