Enthoo Pro M TG running very hot

Well I think I've found out why my CPU and GPU run so hot, my case (idle CPU runs at a toasty 50-55 and GPU under load 80-85). I didn't realise how hot it gets under load, almost too hot to touch. I don't think it was rated as the best airflow case but it does seem to be struggling a lot in this heat.

I currently have my Kraken X52 on the front of the inside with its fans acting as intakes, then a 120 AER on the back and one on the top, both acting as exhausts. My question is should I buy a couple more AER fans as exhausts or get another case with better airflow (in which case, any recommendations for a TG case)?

I have a Zotac AMP 980Ti which seems to run hot anyway so assume it will want as much air flow as possible. Finally should I consider negative/positive air pressures or not important?

Sweet, so my current options might be free/cheap. Not actually sure what speeds they are running at, remember setting up a fan curve at some point. Is there any tweak I should do with my X52 radiator sat at the front of the case? I think it goes rad/fans/exterior intake, would this not be bringing in cold air and pushing it through the rad resulting in warm air been pushed across the GPU?

I will take the top exhaust off, reseat the X52 and have a look at the fan speeds/curve.

I tried that as my GPU seemed to be running quite hot before the summer, seems that AMPs generally run hotter as reapplying made no difference.

Hi, sorry still haven't got round to fixing this :o. Tempted to move the radiator, question though. I have a penchant for RGB so could I put my AER fans on the Kraken X52 and move the non-RGB fans to the front intakes? I am sure I can but would I be sacrificing a lot of performance?
