I bet my graphics card could beat up your graphics card.

What cooler for your GPU is that?

Accelero Xtreme III with replaced fans and some hand cut bits.

Dear /guts/. I hope this is the right thread to ask about this problem I have.

How to properly improve GPU cooling in situation from picture? To be more precise, my GPU (custom RX 480 from Sapphire, "Nitro+") heats up too easily during even medium load. While the case (Corsair 200R) have fans at the front (basically in the middle of front part) and the back, right after CPU, the bottom part of the case face problems with little to no airflow. Drives usually dont get too hot, but when GPU is under load, they both reach high temperatures (RX 480 quickly reach 75 or even 80C, drives up to 50C). The second front slot for case fan would probably require me to remove drive cage and I cant do that. At the other hand, would additional fan at the bottom help a little? Would that help situation with GPU pumping already hot air on the chip? And how to easily protect it from pumping dust inside?

Sorry for asking such trivial questions and thanks for any advice.

How much effort are you willing to put into it?
Are you using any of the 5.25" bays? If not you can fit either a 120mm or a 140mm fan in there with a plug cut from foam. You'd need to either replace the bay covers with https://www.amazon.com/Lian-Li-Black-cover-filter/dp/B000E0RBIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489080356&sr=8-1&keywords=5.25+bay+mesh+cover or remove them altogether.

Install a fan on the bottom of the case as an intake. Lift the case up a bit (as in, install taller feet) so there's at least an inch or two clearance from the surface to the fan intake. You could cult out the fan grill for better noise profile and slightly more airflow. If your case is on the floor you'll need a dust filter, if it's on the desk you might get by without.

Remove all the PCIE slot covers.

With that said, the Nitro+ just runs hot (or loud, if you adjust the fan profile), and you should look into undervolting it. They come with core voltage set way too high. Mine came set to 1.175V, when its perfectly stable running 1.025V. Does wonders for power consumption/heat.

Actually I dont use that upper bay at all, except for holding unused cables (PSU is not modular). But airflow on CPU is working nicely and temperature dont go over 65C (i7-6700k with NH-U12S cooler, not overclocked yet).

I have unused SilentiumPC Fera 3 CPU cooler, do you think that mounting its fan on the bottom would be enough?

As for GPU voltage, what software should I use for lowering it? During load it indeed goes at 1,175 V, but I never touched that. To be honest, I never did any overclocking before and that RX480 is the single most expensive card I bought so far.

Either use WattMan or download WattTool.

I was board besides all the other threads where so generic la.
>>59319545
Yeah I Can't fit the bracket in properly because there is no screw holes for it. lol
But the bracket is not effecting the hard drive anyway because its only been held in by a zip tie ;)

thanks for joining us.
>>59315590
I bet it could la.
I'm not much of a gamer anyway.

What is the video card anyway?
>>59319471
get a OC app and change the fan speed profile that can do wonders.

you could always add a fun to the bottom and give you PSU more air that could keep temps down too

>>59320931
>fun
*fan.

btw feel free to add more /guts/
