Hey,
I’ve been overclocking my GPU and CPU, and I’ve done various things to make everything run as cool as possible. My GPU is 3060 Ti ROG Strix, and my CPU is i7-12700K.
Mods/things done:
– Thermal Grizzly LGA 1700 Contact Frame.
– Upgraded CPU cooling from Arctic eSports DUO 34 to top-mounted Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420.
– Upgraded case from Fractal Design Define C TG to LANCOOL III.
– Deshrouded GPU and replaced fans with 2x Arctic BioniX P120.
– Case fans: 3x140mm Lian Li fans front intake, 3x120mm Fractal Design GP-12 fans lower intake to feed GPU, 1x140mm Arctic P14 Slim rear exhaust.
To be done:
– Replace CPU thermal paste to Arctic MX-6 (currently CPU is using MX-4).
Anything left to be done? I feel like I’ve done pretty much everything which is relatively cheap and marginally beneficial. I was thinking of front mounting the AIO in push-pull configuration, but I’ve seen that the benefits are absolutely minimal to non-existant.
Future proofing is considered with these measures, seeing that the Fractal Design case was way too small to fit any bigger air cooler or a GPU.

Can’t edit the post for some reason, but the lower intake fans are Arctic P14’s, not the Fractal Design ones.
Probably swap the AIO to the front to pull in fresh air instead of sucking in air that has been pre-heated by the GPU and motherboard. If it fits… Even if that means removing the bottom that’s closest to the front.
You missed most important information, what temps are you getting on cpu and gpu?
Everything possible?
No custom loop, no LN2, no you have not sir.
