Predator Orion 3000 (i5 11400F, RTX3060)

RealGuts

I recently bought my computer and I have a cooling problem. I reach 60 degrees or even 70 when I'm just on chrome.. However the temperature of my case is at 30 degrees, I do not know what to do..
I have to change my ventirad ? Replace my rear fan ?
Buy an AIO watercooling system ?
Please help me

You do not have a cooling problem until CPU/GPU temps exceed about 85°C.

Installing an AIO on such a small case (most likely outside of it) can be done, but it won't be easy to do and will involve cutting metal.

If you search this forum, you'll find many discussions about replacing the original puny cooler with after market coolers made by Noctua. Yes, they are a bit expensive, but they keep the CPU cool without being too noisy. There are cheaper options out there, but I have no experience with them so I can't recommend them.

If your idle temps are that high, I suppose there is something else going on. Check if there are some unwanted processes or programs being run on the background that stress the processor. If you use PredatorSense, closing it might help with the idle temps.

My idle temps run in the 50-60C range and that is completely normal. If you are pushing 70C without video playing in the browser then you might want to look to see if there are obstructions around the case that might be blocking airflow. As suggested you can run much hotter than that without issues, but normally you don't see the higher ranges unless the system is working harder.

Thanks you guys ❤️

Running the chrome browser is not idling especially if 3rd party scanners are hovering in the background. What happens to the temp when nothing is started by the user? Just turn it on and let it truly idle.
