I have a weird PC Case. 120mm fan in front and side and 80mm fan in rear. My PSU has a 120mm fan blowing up to the PSU components (and possibly outside) My temps is quite hot under load. 70-75c on GPU and 65c-70c on CPU. I've underclocked both, GPU and CPU but it did not drop the temps a bit. Could you give me some advise on how to lower my temps under load? If possible, something that wouldn't cost too much. Thanks

My Specs:

a10-5800k @3.8Ghz
R9 270x @1050Mhz Gpu Clock, 1400Mhz Memory Clock
1 x 8Gb Ram @ 1333Mhz
2 x HDD (500Gb and 320Gb)
550W PSU

Exactly what make/model case do you have?

First of all, the psu fan is there to take care of psu cooling.
If there is an outside air vent near the psu, it should be oriented to draw in cold outside air and exhaust through the back of the case.
If not, then it will have to draw in warmer air from inside the case and still exhaust out the rear.

On the other fans, the front and side 120mm fans should be intakes.
The exhaust is not that important, whatever come in from the two 120mm intakes will exit somewhere.
The 80mm should be an exhaust in the rear, Verify the airflow direction by dangling a tissue near the fan.
See which way it moves.

Then, Graphics cards run hot but they are built to tolerate heat. 80c. is not out of line.

I think your cpu temperatures are ok also.

If you are really intent on better airflow, you could replace the 120mm intakes with higher rpm versions at the cost of more noise. 1500 to 2000 rpm.
$70 or so each will do it.

I'd suggest more Positive pressure (more air going in). I think your best solution is add another intake and outake fan and consider getting a water cooled pc even. The corsair 760t is a amazing case if you could get that it would provide lots of airflow. Maybe check out a cpu cooler such as the h100i gtx.
