My Pc is reaching temps of 83 degrees because of my case

I have the kolink stronghold case and my gpu temp seems to be slowly rising which suggests that there is something weong with my case. What should i do? Is it worth adding more case fans?

What is the full specification of your computer, including the exact GPU, CPU heatsink if not stock, and the number and layout of your case fans?

What are the temperatures you're getting and under which circumstances are you getting them (gaming, rendering etc)?

Usually a good start, you will need to plan out your intake and outtake.

Removing the PCI blanking plates may help, but be sure enough cool air is getting in, as hot air is going out.

I have a red dragon rx590, a ryzen 5 2600 with the wraith stealth cpu cooler. I have 2 120mm fans, one at the front and one at the back.

Im getting about 83 degrees on the witcher 3 at medium settings

Also what will the high temps do to my pc. Is it safe?

I would recommend looking into undervolting your RX590.

I have the RX580 version of that card and at stock values it runs loud and hot, me temps were in the 80's and it sounded like a jet engine. With an undervolt and a custom fan curve it's now totally silent and rarely breaks 60C.

As for your PC at those temps, it's perfectly safe and within specification so don't worry. The temps are a little high but it's nothing to concern yourself about too much, as I said look into undervolting and once that's done play with fan curves and you'll be fine.

Thanks so much for the help

What case do you have?

Typically cases need 2x good pressure rated intakes and 2-3x exhaust vents without fans. Intake and exhaust case fans is like push and pull fans on radiators and coolers .. they give maybe 1-2c lower temps at fulls speed, but more fans make more noise so less fans as just intakes make about the same amount of noise at same temp as case both intake and exhaust fans at same temp.

Buy a second hand Silverstone FT-02, best cooling cases ever made.
