Hi bro. you need 2 exhaust fans in the superior area of your case. 1 fan its not enough.
And if you can put another 90mm or 80mm under the gpu to taking out the hot air, please do it.
1. At 100% power limit, my 3060XC reach 82C in witcher 3 or another heavy GPU game. Fans reach 75% (jet engine sound).
2. With 3 exhaust fans at 45% silent noise, and the small 80mm under the card, low to 77C.
3. I set power limit to 78% and +180 Core and +700 Memory, giving to me the same performance in fps (+2 fps actually) than 100% powerlimit and temps drops to 68-69C max.
4. If you want more, like i do, buy 2 120mm fans, put together in a PCI bracket under the card, and temps low to 64-63C. Without noise, and with 65% fan speed. Dead Silent.
Small investment, but finally you can lower your temps 18C and the power consumes low from 170w to 120-130W!!!!
And always use MSi afterburner, its the best. X1 only to update BIOS.
