Hi, if I'm honest I feel I'm having heating problems with my rig, my Current CPU cooler seems fine for the cpu. But I've just purchased 2x Phanteks PH-F140MP PWM 140mm Fan (for intake) and 3x Phanteks PH-F120MP PWM 120mm Fan (exhaust 1x rear 2x top) about to install them today.

My rx 5700xt gets very hot under heavy load. Reaching 93deg after just 30 mins of gaming.

Now I'm looking for a new CPU cooler to help with the air flow in my mATX kolink citadel case CA-03K-KK.

That being said, I have the b450 mortar max mobo and 4x8gb sticks of Team Group Xtreem "8Pack Edition"

My case states that I can have a cooler with a max height of 160 mm.

My thoughts were to set it to pull the air from the gpu (bottom of case) to push the air to the two top exhausts. Hopefully helping my heating problem.
 
Thank you both for the replies,
so what I have done is fix 2 intake 140mm fans (I could only mount 1 on the inside and 1 bottom front) and 1 exhaust @ 120mm rear, I had yesterday taken all the vents off then realised I could also take out the GPU clamp? Whatever the holder clamp this is called it's gone and now more vent's outback of the case, erm so job done I managed to get -10 degrees from GPU with a 30 min stress test 84.C max -7 from CPU and the glass side doesn't even reach room temp also, not even any louder so case closed i guess there's a pun there somewhere.
