CPU Cooler effect GPU temperature?

Hello Community!

I try to explain my problem shortly. So, I have a Gigabyte Windforce 1060 6GB GPU in a Sharkoon DG7000 case, with the original 2 14cm fans in front and with one 14cm in the back. My GPU when I stressed it, reaches 80+. I know it's not bad for a GPU, but now my rooms temperature is only 18 celsius, but soon summer will be here, when my room will reach the 38-40 celsius, so I am fearing about the overheat. I saw a lot of tests about my GPU and noone had this problem with it. Before this GPU I had an R9 280 and I had the same problem with it too, so I tried to think about it what causes this.

Well maybe I found the problem, but I hope you guys will reply to me and give me some positive energy about my theory. I have a Scythe Ninja 3 CPU cooler and it's really- really big. You can just put one of your fingers between the GPU and the CPU cooler (they are pretty close to each other)
My CPU max temperature was 40 celsius so the cooler is really great, but I wonder if that cooler can make my GPU hotter? I mean put my hand in the case when it was under stress and on that little space the air is actually really hot, so...I

s that possible the hot air can't go out from there because the only air-out fan can't do the job quickly? Or because of the really big cpu cooler the hot air can't escape the case? Or maybe the CPU cooler is overheating the GPU? If I would buy a liquid cooler for the CPU than I will have +1 fan on the top what is pulling out the hot air from the case, so should that help to go down with the GPU temperature?

(Please don't write that to turn down the clokc rate of the GPU or make custom fan curve, because the clock rate is on the factory value and I tried the custom fan curve. I have a Cooler Master G550M PSU that is far enough and good for the PC, so not a bad quality PSU effects the GPU. Thank you for the understand!)


Thank you for the answers and sorry for my bad Enligsh and gramming! I hope you guys you can help me.

Best Regards,

one thing i could suggest if you have a spare fan around is to put it in the case to push air from the front fan between the gpu top and the cpu cooler bottom to create a air tunnel with in both he could be hang in the case frame in front of the power cable that goes on the board ,since this is a axt board could you lower her to be near the psu top so there will be more air going out on top .
The easiest thing to try first is altering the airflow through that hot area. If you have 3 case fans, and currently 1 is intake and two are exhaust, turn one more into an intake and see what that does. Maybe try adding a small fan just to blow air through that space. If you can put your hand there and feel it really hot in that space that is going to affect ALL the components in that area.

Well the 2 fans in front are intake the air, the back one is exhaust. I put my hand between the CPU cooler and the GPU and yeah, it's really hot right there, but the Ninjas radiator is not that hot I expected. Maybe the exhaust is not so good. I posted a link on another reply about my system, if you have time please check it and say what you think about it.

it is realy crowdy and yes you dont have much air going around the gpu either you try to had some top fans you could also if you want get a smaller cooler for the cpu since you have a mini itx board also what are the cfm of those fans ,side not nice router that tp-link .

Well, the router is another thing :D But I have no complain about it, it's working gratefully so for me it's ok.

back to business:
I thought about the top fans too, but this is what I planned. If I have to buy another CPU coooler and top fans, than would be a better idea if I would buy a liquid cooling system and I would but the radior to the top. Than there will be more space to the GPU and there will be a fan on the top too. What do you think about this? (2 solution in 1 :) ) What you think about it?
 
I'm not into spending money needlessly. So my question is why do you need such a huge cooler on the CPU? Are you overclocking it? Because I would go with a small, basic CPU cooler assuming you're not overclocking it. In fact, I'd probably buy a cheap heatsink/fan and install it just to see how much, if any, it helps in keeping the GPU temps down. After all, right now we are just assuming that more space for airflow would fix the issue, but it might not be true. It would suck if you spent a bunch of money on another CPU cooling solution only to find the card still runs as hot as before.

Well I bought this big CPU cooler when I had a Phenom X4 955 in a really old case where there was no case fans, so you see now it was something that I needed, but right now it's too much ofc, but I didn't bought a new one trought the years. I don't have tim eright now to pick the cooler out, another in, and hope that will work, so this is why I try to asking you. Of course I will not run next day to the shop and buy a new cooler to the cpu, I just try to figure out what should I do. I am not overlockick anything so I really don't need this big cooler, but I just want to change it, if I can totally know that the smaller-better CPU cooler will increase the GPU temp too.
