this is 25 minutes in. currently 34 minutes in and seeing 56c gpu and 70c hotspot.
I reasted the GPU and reversed fan direction. Ill be running some games shortly but so far things are looking under control. seems to have been fixed. judging by the way the paste looked when i pulled the block off. it was combination of things. my arctic silver is back up and dont really know how old that tube is. so i used my kingpin paste again. foun d a bit of debris in the fins of the block cleaned all that out. and reversed the fans. After a round of 7 days to die gpu was 55c hotspot was 69.8c. When i originally purchased this case i wanted to fill it. ive had big cases and they still looked empty. In my opinion I think i did it nicely. However it does apparently have to airflow flaws. One of which is if you use a 360mm rad up top you can not fit a case fan on the back of the case. Unless you mount it on the outside like i had. After i move i might revive my HAF Stacker or check into some other cases.
Thank yall for the help and brain storming on this issue with me
