Hello people, I've been dealing with some problems cooling down my cpu (FX 8350) with a little overclock (about 4.17 GHz) because it hits between 38 and 41 °C when I'm in the desktop, this thing have a Corsair H110 working always at %100 (all the fans on the case too), but I'm starting to think that my videocard (Gigabyte Radeon R9 290X) is the main reason of the" high" temperature, because I discovered that it gets 40 °C only staying at the desktop.
What do you guys think? What's the problem?

Sorry for causing you cancer in the eyes for my horrible english :c

I'm not aware of your room temps, but assuming they're not super cold, you're all good. liquid coolers never give low idle temps, they're useful when the CPU is at load, which I'm sure you're aware of. Everything's fine.

^that

And try using the fan at the back of the case as intake.
Might help with cooling the Mobo vrams

Ok, I think the temperature of the room is between 22 and 26 °C. That's why I was thinking it's a little bit hot. Oh! And the most % I have ever reached is about 50% and the CPU hits 52 °C.

Using the fan at the back of the case as an intake isn't going to ruin the flow of the hot air, or create a hot zone inside the case?
And I'm planning to add two AF140 on the side of the case (it's a corsair C70), and if I add the fan at the back as an intake... there is never enough positive pressure?

Stress test your CPU with Prime95 and observe temps.

Also, thumb of rule for case fans: top/rear= exhuast, front/side/bottom=intake. Intake on rear doesn't really make much sense, put it on exhuast.
