I am currently running:

Ryzen 5900x | Giga X570 GAMING X | 2x16GB Team Group Edition DDR4 | Nvidia RTX 3090 FE | Corsair RM1000x 80 Plus Gold | Lian Li Lancool One Midi | LG 27GL850-B 27" 1440p | Arctic Liquid Freezer II

Temps are more than I would like (mid 80s after an hour or so). Current weather doesn't help, but that's not going to improve.

I think the case is too small, and wanting to stay air cooled, I am thinking a better (and bigger) case, along with more fans.

Would that be sensible and if so, could people recommend a good set-up for me?
 
Lian li 215, 216 and lancool 3 are good options.

Do you think one of those options, along with the current cooler, and a 3xtop 3xfront and 1xrear fans would be sufficient to keep that build in the 70s for GPU and CPU?

I know mid 80s isn't horrendous, but I would rather keep it cooler.

It's hard to tell but it's should improve temps over you current case.

Take your side panel of your case see what temps you get.

Ok, thanks.

Will try later tonight. Where it sits is not ideal (under the desk, though raised) and the front panel of the current case doesn't seem ideal for airflow.

I guess try the new case and some new fans and then if it is still high, look for a new cooler or alternative options.
 
Just double check if voltage to CPU is normal or the motherboard is going nuts. The 3900x I had, a small offset negative was night and day. Not familiar what’s the best approach for the 5000 series.
