Hello,my gpu runs very hot and i believe it is because there is very ittle sace between my gpu and psu. For reference,my psu is facing downwards out the case,with my gpu fans facing the psu,i have a micro atx mobo and case so i cannot move my gpu to a higher slot. Any suggestions to lower gpu temps?

firstly, your term of very hot may be reasonable. If your calling 70-80c very hot then this question is pointless.

Try to improve your cable managment, also the PSU fan should face down. GPU fan on different models do different things. Some like mine. The heat is absorbed by the iron filings(or w.e they're called) and then the fans pull in cool air and pushes it through the iron filings in all direction away from the GPU. While other GPU models pull the hot air from the iron filings.

Basically improving airflow is the key. Positive pressure is better imo, people will say the opposite or even equal pressure. Positive pressure is intake fans or rather more intake CFM than exhaust CFM
