Hey guys so I after playing cod I'm actually getting consistent 120-130fps with everything maxed and ray tracing on. This is more than I would have expected. After trying all that it looks great. Also what would you guys suggest for cooling options that dont require much install? I currently have the stock fans that came with the case which is h700i and the fans arent too bad. Check the case out and itll tell you the fans. The fans on the gpu already run 90% at 65c. I'm thinking of getting some corsair fans that provide more airflow but idk if that would be worth it and how much of a boost itll give. These are the ones I'm looking at Corsair ML120 Pro LED, Blue, 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation Cooling Fan CO-9050043-WW

None of it will make a huge dent unless you completely change the cooling to either AIO or custom loop OR you just want to change the fans for aesthetics.

Well my cpu is cooled by the nzxt kraken x62 and only fans cool the gpu

Ehh.  Is the x62 front mounted or top mounted?   If it's top mounted exhaust you're good.  Front mounted will very significantly restrict air flow into the case.  Having a bottom 3rd fan will help.  Definitely top mount the rad if it isn't now, pretty major difference.

Those magnetic levitation fans look really nice and all, but they are so expensive and they don't move as much air as some fans that are half the price. Like the Corsair Air Series stuff... If you are trying to cut temps on the CPU, you may want to look into deliding your processor. The stock thermal paste Intel uses is pretty bad... Deliding and applying your own thermal paste will cut temps by 10-15C.

My cpu temps arent actually bad it's my gpu temps that im trying to reduce. Right now I have it overclocked to as high as I can because of the temps

You could disassemble the GPU and check the thermal paste application... Sometimes they don't do the best on the thermal paste application. Cleaning it up and reapplying some thermal paste could help with temps... other than that, you will want to look into getting a full coverage water block and add a custom water loop to your set-up... It's very expensive and will have you rethinking the plan and possibly upgrade to a RTX 2080Ti.

haha honestly I just wanted to see if you guys think fans would help at all. I was going to get those magnetic fans because becuase my fans have a max rpm of 1200 while the corsair ones have a 2000rpm so i thought that might help. Are there any fans you guys would suggest? higher rpms are better right? I dont really care about the noise honestly

Noctua A12's and Industrials are great for pressure applications.
 
You could also consider a G12 kit that would allow you to mount your x62 to your GPU.  But then you'd need another CPU cooler.
