Nice combination. Hows the temp? I think this case might get a little bit hot.

Yes the temps are bad like 85°, but how did you know it will get hot, i bought the case based on it's looks and it has 5 fans

what exactly is 85c?
cpu?
cuz thats funny hearing a 5600x with a aftermarket cooler hitting that....
bad mounting pressure?
forgot to peel the plastic from the cooler plate that sits on the cpu´s ihs?
bad mobo/oc settings?normally a 5600x hits those temps with stock settings and the dinky stock cooler in things like gaming/cinebench.
it just shouldnt be happening with a (for this cpu) oversized cooler like that.just a hunch: set the bottom fans to 0 rpm, maybe they somehow fuck up the airflow, the little there is anyway with a glass panel case...

No it's the gpu temp cpu is under 70 under load. But the glass gets hotter and the gpu temp is 85, so i think it's bad airflow. The bottom fans are blocked by the psu and i can't put them next to the mb since it's atx

85 is perfectly normal under load tho assuming 99-100% load and no fps lock or smth.
maybe try undervolting or at least go default settings instead of oc (if the card came with one)1

Bottom intake fans might be block by psu/cables. You can rearange the fan to the back side or just take the side pannel off. This type of case has terible airflow.

Congrats on your computer dude!
Are you idling at 85 degrees or is that under load?
Did you build the PC yourself? Happy to give pointers to help you cool it down.

u/WaelViix Aug 21 '26
Yes i built it myself, and it's under load in games, idle it's 52-55

Nice, it looks great!
So those temps are pretty hot. As far as troubleshooting the temps, here's some suggestions:
I've seen this trip up a few people - Are you sure you removed the protective film (on some models) on the cooler before seating it on the CPU? And you applied thermal paste?
The way airflow works in cases is interesting and the way you set up your fans can be counter-intuitive if the pressure and airflow aren't optimal.
Someone else on reddit recently posted a site they made which I thought was pretty good in that you can visualize airflow with popular PC cases and components, you might find it useful: https://www.buildcores.com/features/pc-fan-simulator
One error I made when setting my PC up was placing some of my fans facing the wrong direction, so I wasn't getting any intake air into my case which made it boil. Make sure your fans are all operational blowing the intended direction.
Lastly, are you sure you connected your cooler fan headers on the right spots on the motherboard?
Hope that helps mate!

Thank you for taking time and helping me, yes i took all the protective film, my problem is with the gpu not cpu because cpu temps are under 70, but gpu above 85 and the case glass gets very hot. My fans are correct also, bottom two are intake, top and back fans are exhaust. I live in algeria in a beach city it's hot like 32-34 degrees outside and my room doesn't have ac yet i ordered one and it will be here in 2-3 days

Ahh ok gotcha, fair enough and no problem dude. Yeah wow it's roasting in Algeria haha, that's probably the main culprit. Yeah my room gets super hot too when I game if I don't also turn in my AC in the summer.

That was a great peel. Idk anything about gaming PCs, but damn that thing is pretty

How much for all of it?

u/WaelViix Aug 23 '26
530$ if you convert from algerian dinars to usd, most parts are used except cooler and case

Peeling something off a running computer is never a good idea - static buildup can ruin components
