So just to be doubly sure - top and rear should be exhaust and front should have 1-2 intake. Ideal temperatures at idle should be 30-45 right? There's also the matter of the m.2 slot being right next to the GPU, so there's definitely some cross heat generation that's keeping it hot. I did install the heat spreader (pretty sure I removed the sticker too but I'll double check). How would I know if my top fan is intake? Should I convert it to an exhaust fan and add two new front intake fans? If I understand you correctly, I should add an intake fan to the front right (I ordered 2 new fans, so one will go the front for sure). You want the same amount of air going into and moving out of the case. You still want cross-airflow, so positive pressure in the rear will push the hot air out of the system. Buying a second fan to do this will help a lot. Negative pressure means that the air outside the case needs to be sucked in (from the front) to cool components. That could be why the temperature is so high. The hot air in your system is being pushed down by your intake fan at the top, circling around the CPU and GPU. I assume that you installed the heat spreader for your SSD? It may not be it's fault. Your components actually appear to be at pretty normal temperatures, so they are not overloaded when you are gaming. Cool air will be pulled into the system, and will naturally want to rise out of the case, and get sucked out by the rear fan. ![]() I would recommend at the very minimum, moving that top fan to the front. ![]() This is not good! The fans should always be oriented front to back, with front fans pulling cool air in, and top and rear fans pulling air out! Since the H510 has a solid front, the fans have to work even harder to get any cool air into the case. The case came with two Aer F 120mm (top and rear) and I bought a Noctua NH U12S CPU cooler
