GPU/CPU Cooling Issues Air Cooler + GPU Cooler

Hi guys. I'm rocking a 1080TI sea hawk x which is an AIO cooler card.

I'm also running a Noctua D15S.

These are both currently exhausting out of the back of my case whilst two 140mm noctua fans are in taking at the front.

My GPU temperatures are getting quite toasty due to the fast the CPU is push air through the GPU rad. What is the best to have my setup please? Or am i best to get an AIO cpu cooler to blow out the top of the case please?

Haha very true

I'm just really confused on what I need to do to get great temps on both the gpu and cpu

I wonder if you can turn the d15 90 degrees so it's exhausts upwards?

Don't think I can due to the ram clearance. the D15S has a cut out for the ram on one side

Just move the AIO location? Can you put it as an exhaust at the top and add a exhaust fan to the rear?

Tried moving the gpu aio to the top as an exhaust but the temps was not very good either

What GPU temperature are you talking here? Sub 50 degrees looks to be about the capacity of these AIO units.

60-65 degrees, where if i take the aio rad out the case and put it on the table i get 45-50 degrees
