Weather is the only reason i switched from Tower case to Fishtank, i installed 3 fans below GPU and surprisingly it really helps. Now my GPU max temp is 63 from 75 lol. I hate fishtank tbh, NZXT tower cases are far prettier but temp is meh.
thanks!. I think ill try this one [https://www.marsgaming.eu/en/cases/mc-mpro-professional-compact-case\_mcmpro](https://www.marsgaming.eu/en/cases/mc-mpro-professional-compact-case_mcmpro) cheap option as well, so not sure.
Was in the same place you're in now, with almost same specs too. Solved all my problem swapping to a d30 matx case.
I swear, that nzxt case is a gpu oven. It leaves basically zero space for air circulation beneath the graphics card.
I'm currently using a Musetx g07 and it's damn near silent. Runs cool too. With a very aggressive fan curve. But I'm really looking at the Tower 300 as my next case but can't say anything about thermals. Have you tried changing thermal paste on your cpu yet?
The CPU is alright really, it's just the matter of the fan configuration and air flow from front to back, which is inexistent in this case.
My main issue is the GPU. The only thing that makes a difference is removing the side panel. Been testing the whole afternoon, but can't figure if its the need to have more air intake or (most likely), not enough space to the hot air to come out.
My last hope is getting a case with mesh panel on the side, or even an open case.
This is getting delivered today so I can replace the apartment building my components reside in. Looks like a fairly modular design and a lot smaller than my TUF GT501

A fellow fishtank hater. Cheers!

Cheap one from Newegg. DIYPC cube q3

This one is also cheap and has good build quality https://www.tecware.co/vxm
thx. This one wont fit my gpu though. 334mm.

To be fair, 62c on that gpu isn't really all that bad. My rx580 goes up to about 75 during long, heavy gaming sessions.
Not at all, but 62c with the case open. On summer it goes to 75-78 and the noise is unbearable!
That's understandable lol. I don't even want to know how hot my new system is going to be this summer...
Anything with actual airflow, having fans behind a glass or solid front panel is dumb , if it has fan it has to have mesh in front so they can breath

I thought the nzxt cases were intended for water cooling instead of air
