Hello, I've been wondering - with what kind/type of fan can I upgrade my pc? It's been overheating whenever I play games (88°-92°) even at the Gaming fan mode. I read that it may be because of poor ventilation and/or poor fans so I'm looking for any solutions.

    well, if it's the CPU then you need to replace the stock cooler with an air cooler or AIO that will fit your case. there isn't much else you can do unless ya get a new case or pc. i think your pc comes with 3-96mm fans you can replace all of them and leave the side panel off or both to see if that helps. and i think you can put a fan on the top. since its a new 650 series is there any way to return it and get a 5000 series? some of them like the one i got are cheaper than most 3000 series and it makes no sense why they cost more yet are far more inferior!!@!! but the 5000 series it way better than the 3000 and you can upgrade a lot easier.

    The Noctua fits the case well on the PO3 models.

    Im probably late to this post. But i noticed that the temp speeds are up around 90c right out of box. The problem seems to be the preconfi settings for the sense program. The Auto sets your fans so they dont seem to peak over 1000rpm, and Gaming setting wacks them full on.

    After some playing around i generally have each fan set manual 1)60% 2)62% 3)64% 4)60%. Which means at idle im getting CPU temp of around 20-30c and on loads around 70-80c.

    I have manage to to push my system above 28c at all so far. And GPU under load goes to max 76c but thats with cyberpunk ultra with ray tracing on max.

    Best advice try changing your fan speeds on manual, but be aware they can get loud on higher settings.
