cpu temps go up to 70°C at load, and between 30 and 40 idle.
gpu around 40 idle, around 60-70 at load.

specs:
cpu: AMD fx-8350
mobo: msi 970 gaming
gpu: gigabyte gtx 670, the one with 3 fans
ram: 2x4 crucial ballistix ddr3 1600mhz
psu: corsair cx600
case: cooler master silencio 550
cpu cooler: corsair h60(can also try with a hyper 212 evo but then the side panel wont fit on anyway)
fans: 2x140mm front intake, 2x120mm on the rad which exhausts at the back. i also made 2 140mm fan mounts at the side, with dust filters ofcourse, which are both used as intake.

now if i leave the side panel off temps drop by 20-30°C, so should i just get a better case?

thanks in advance :)

70c with a H60 Aio.

Do you have the 8350 overclocked by chance, and if you have what are the core voltage settings at as it stands ?
It seems a bit high to me considering you have a push pull fan setup in the case as well.
You may want to check, or re position the tension on the cpu water block.
To me it indicates you have a slight lift on the corner of the water block due to improper tension.

Or if you replaced the pre applied Tim on the Aio cpu block, you may have put too much TIM on it.
Remember too much Tim will have an opposite effect and cause less transfer from the cpu heat spreading plate to the base of the Aio cpu cooling block.

no overclocks, everything on stock. i already applied different thermal paste.
ambient temperatures are way too high in this case, even with the top side fan used as exhaust and the bottom fanless(don't wanna take air away from the gpu)

So I decided to just RMA the case and H60, get an S340, and use the hyper 212 evo.
thanks for the answers :)
