I have a pair of these in a SuperMicro Mobo.

Currently cooled with a Pair of Noctua HN-12 coolers ( Single 120mm fan )

Unfortunately, due to the space, I have had to have one fan blowing top to bottom and the other blowing bottom to top.

This is because the GFX Card would be in the way, otherwise I would prefer to have them both going in one direction.

Anyway...

The Case Tempsare showing 62c/63c and the CPU Temps are both showing 66c and sometimes up over 70c

This is far too high.

What is a safer temp?

I am looking for better cooling solutions.

I am obbviously going to also have ro rework the case cooling. It is normally fairly good, but the wiring and the way I have had to set up this EATX Mobo in the case, has really cut off the air flow massively from the single front 120mm and I will be putting the 92mm fans back into action after I took them out some years ago. Again those will help, but what I am also looking into, is AIO or even Water cooling for the G34 Chips?

I have not been able to source anything that I am happy to pay for, so anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
