Thanks for all the input, everyone. I finally got the fan configuration sorted out properly, and now my GPU is topping out at 73°C while the CPU stays around 65°C—which isn't bad at all considering it's a blistering 95°F outside right now. It just hit me that once the weather finally breaks and things cool down, those temps will probably drop even further anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now that I’ve moved the fans out of the way, my GPU is hitting 75°C at 60fps, and the CPU is sitting at 65°C—also at 60fps, even under a full load. Honestly, it still feels a bit high to me? Especially since the GPU is brand new, so there shouldn't be any reason for it to be running this hot. Just to clarify, the GPU fans are facing downward. Here is the exact model: http://www.lc-power.com/en/product/g...18b-jupiter-x/

Hey there,
A few weeks back, I picked up a new case, a fresh GPU, and a new PSU, but now I’m sitting here second-guessing my fan setup. When I’m running something like Skyrim at 60 FPS, my GPU hits about 76°C while the CPU stays under 70°C during full load—and when I drop it down to 30 FPS, the temps settle around 70°C for the GPU and 60°C for the CPU. Given that I’ve got six fans installed in total, are these actually decent temperatures? More importantly, did I actually point them in the right direction? The rear and side fans are , and the two on the top of the case are . The front fan came pre-installed with the case, but honestly, I’m not entirely sure if the Enermax ones are exhausting air or pulling cool air in—if anyone could clarify which side is which, that would be great. As for the Thermaltake ones, I’m pretty confident I have them set to exhaust. Here are some photos:

Thanks in advance,
