Case for Gaming?

[cvaldes]

More fans usually isn't the answer. If your case is becoming a hotbox, you should first properly check for the flow of air - remember, hot air is less dense than cold air at the same atmospheric pressure, which means that essentially, due to buoyancy, hot air inside your computer case floats upwards - "hot air goes up" generic statement.

Very bad mspaint drawing, but this should be easy enough to understand. If your temperatures remain out of control, you've either got a problem with your AIO (see if it's installed correctly, and if its pump is working). GPU has issues with paste (rare if your card is less than ~3 years old but can happen)), or you're simply pushing too many watts for the cooling system.

In many cases, if you're starved for cool air inside the case, simply removing the side panel tends to drop temperatures by 40°C+.

OP doesn't need to do this. His case has plenty of airflow.

As you can see, the entire bottom quarter of the side is mesh. This photo also shows two 120mm fans on the PSU shroud. This Lian Li marketing photo is stupid because it depicts the PSU shroud fans exhausting downward. Ideally the airflow should be directed upward (drawing fresh air from the PSU compartment mesh) as I recommended in my original reply.

OP doesn't have any exotic power-hungry components. It's a Ryzen 5700X and an RTX 3060. The CPU has a 65W TDP

and the GPU is about 170W. Absolutely nothing this case can't handle.

Lancools are good stuff. Yeah, you're right. If temps are out of control with that kind of hw, there's another problem going on.

So, from the new info, I'd say you don't need more fans. You could replace the front fans if you need more airflow, but the ones you have are probably fine.

As others have asked, is there a reason you're concerned with your temperatures? What max Temps are you seeing idle and in gameplay? You can use a free program like HWINFO64 to get all the sensor data your hardware has to offer.

Fractal Torrent is my current favorite for air cooled builds. +1 to all suggestions for it.

I tend to prefer dual-chamber cases for water-cooling, Like the Antec C8.

Tested in 2 games now: In Cyberpunk 2077 temperature GPU 60-65 in CPU 40-45. In Silent Hill 2 Remake temperature GPU 55-60 in CPU 35-40.

Those are good temperatures. What made you think you needed to improve things?

 

[freeagent]

Those temps look ok for now, but how much pressure are those games putting on the system?

I wouldn't really worry unless you want to upgrade..

In that case, I would go with the full sized Torrent. The Compact is pretty good too, but I could use some of that extra space that I sacrificed by being cheap.

The temperature of the video card worries me, not the processor. Sometimes it goes up to 70 degrees.

@Detonate12
That’s… literally normal operating temperature for modern GPUs. I am looking at TPU 3060 reviews right now and most are mid-60s - low-70s under load. It’s absolutely normal due to how boosting works. Unless you are reaching thermal throttle point you are fine.

Ok, you all talked about the current system I currently have, but I was talking about an upgrade in the future...what does it mean for me to switch to AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5GHz box processor and leave only the video card. Now with this system the temperatures are ok as you say. Upgrade AM4 to AM5! To be able to switch from AM4 to AM5, what can I stop from the current configuration and what not? (see System Specs)

Stop worrying about any temperatures and just enjoy gaming. You are driving yourself crazy thinking about this stuff.

Your Lancool II case is fine for any AM5 processor right now. It's also fine for pretty much any consumer GPU currently on the market. If you decide to step up your components, the first thing to do would be to buy a better PSU in preparation for a CPU/GPU combination that draws a lot more power. The case itself has plenty of airflow.

From my vantage point, it doesn't look like you'll be cramming your case full of exotic, high power components anytime in the near future. So don't worry about it now.

I want to build a new PC on AM5 and I would like to know if this case is good for games. Here I mean to have the best possible cooling in games! I was thinking of buying this case! What do you think?

Core P8 Tempered Glass Full Tower Chassis

The Core P8 TG is a transformable E-ATX Full Tower Chassis that can be either used as a closed or open styled case with Tt LCS Certification.

Clearly Fractal Torrent the full tower but, no AIO for CPU just an air CPU cooler BeQuiet Pure Rock 2 for example or Id cooling XT 224( to not obstruct completely the GPU backplate airflow ).
I wouldn't replace the 2x 180 mm frontal fans of Fractal T with an AIO rad.
2x 140 mm bottom of the case and 1x 140 mm in rear. You'll have plenty of positive airflow.

VRAM if you planning to change the 3060 to something more powerful. If not, VRAM 3060 will be fine in the case you already have and a new AM5 CPU is still around 65 W like your old one.
If you planning on future 2K resolution than 3060 will not suffice and will prolly stutter.
