j1shuman as Alijoh stated you will need to put predator sense in gaming mode and eventually get a tower cooler that fits your budget i got the Noctua NH-U12A, with the stock cooler i was getting 85C before i learned how to adjust the fans in predator sense, then them same games averaged 63C in gaming mode with the stock cooler and after the tower cooler upgrade 43C and i have two fans mounted to the top rack for added exhaust and it helps and i always run in gaming mode heh thats my personal preference, i also upgraded the memory to 4x16 from crucial now the games run at almost 200 fps on average at 1080P and my pc smokes now i cant believe how fast it is and i removed the hdd caddy for better air flow and im going to mount a fan down there to help cool the gpu and for the cpu i changed the intel bracket that holds in down in place with this see link below. other than that welcome to this amazing forum filled with amazing people who all help each other out its great here !!@!!

thats strange the supplied noctua lga1700 backplate should have worked with no issues unless im misunderstanding what you said you did?

well, here is what i did last night because i was bored lol i put the noctua fans on the top rack and the acer argb frostblade fans on the cooler and that alone dropped my temps another 3-5C the acer fans run at 2250 rpm and the noctua only 2000 so that 500 rpm seems to have made a difference and i was just experimenting so now im thinking of getting 3000 rpm fans for the noctua cooler next.

Hey just to update, you are correct it actually made the glass panel warmer just along where the GPU lines up. I think the front and top fans with both as intakes counteracts each other. I switched the top fans to exhaust and it made my case cooler. CPU temps ranges from 67-75C, which is still cooler compared to 90-100C before installing the top fans.

well its always good to experiment no harm in that, maybe down the road you will get a tower cooler you like.

i also put cooler master mobius high velocity fans on the Noctua NH-U12A.

that dropped temps 3-5C on max settings, the temps i get now i couldnt get before on max settings, i would have to lower it one preset, so there is the proof doing what i did helped alot.

and i know my cable management is terrible, one day ill have everything through the back, but for now as i experiment with stuff ill leave it as is heh.

one last thing and im a firm believer in this, run the fans in gaming mode when gaming, running benchmark tests, etc, it matters and changes things for the better.

well thats awesome but ya shoulda kept the 2 fans for the top rack my cinebenchr23 never goes over 64 now, the more fans the better, and then go one step further and remove the GPU bracket it improves air flow more that i coulda imagined, i see you use the HDD i didnt get any so i removed that for better air flow for both front fans, but good job getting started and yeah all acer predator gaming computers have subpar cooling but glad ya got a start on it, if you wanna go further those other upgrades are helpful.

yeah, but i already had it planned out haha, i put a cooler master bracket underneath it thats all, well if ya dont like or use the hdd it can be removed heh, and can you add another fan to the cooler ? and i see your rocking 4 sticks of ram what ya did you put in there ? ohh and btw i added high velocity fans to my Noctua NH-U12A and it made a huge difference over the stock fans that came with it !!@!! when ya remove the bracket be very careful the 3 screws you have to remove from the inside part of the bracket that are screwed into the GPU plate are very small and cheap, i almost stripped mine out, its a PH00 square-phillips head from a micro tool kit.

yes good eye, they are from the stock cooler, mine and i got one from someone here who wasnt using theres, but in a few days when its all complete, ill post new pics, im replacing every acer-cooler master fan with cooler master high velocity mobius fans, and i was unaware of a 5000 that came with 32 gigs, i thought only the 7000 series came with 32 gigs of drr5 4x8, never saw a 5000 that came with more than 16 so thats cool.
