I have a question about cooling and temperatures.

My setup:
Bitfenix Prodigy M case
Asus Z270G mATX
i7 7700k with Corsair H75
Corsair Venegance 3000mhz DDR4
Msi GTX970 Gaming 4G
Cooler Master 600w PSU

I currently have a minimun idle temp of:
CPU: 32c (1.120 - 1.136v)
GPU: 36c
Motherboard: 37C

Under heavy load:
CPU: 78c (4.5ghz @ 1.21v sometimes rarely peaks to 82c) tested once at 5ghz, got 97c
GPU 65c (Fully overclocked)
Motherboard: 47c (Has been up to 50c in some occasions)

I have 2x120mm fans in top as intake.
H75 CPU water cooling as intake with dual 120mm fans push/pull.
1x230mm exhaust as the bottom.

Are my temperatures generally within the safe zone except for the CPU?

Would someone with experience know if a 240mm CPU watercooling unit as an inlet on the top produce too much heat for the GPU as the GPU sucks air right beneath the top intake? Current H75 is sucking air from the outside due to the relatively good temps inside the case despite this setup.

I have read the 7700k is a hot CPU, but idle temps at 32c with 20c room temp are a little above the preferred even with a H75. Any suggestions regarding CPU cooling for this case?

Thank you very much!

Those temps are fine. May be a tad bit warm at times but is still very safe and within its thermal thresholds. I would work on the fans tho. I'm not terribly familiar with the case but having intakes on the top doesn't work well since warm air rises so the cold and warm air will collide.

So does your gpu fans face upward? If so those 2 intake fans at the top are colliding with the exhaust fans of the gpu. Make the two top fans exhaust. The rest should be alright. That case can be tricky.

I am running this forum on mobile. Seems I can't reply directly with quotes as the reply button is missing.

The GTX970 like many has inlet fans, so they pull air on to the GPU heatsink. So on a normal mobo setup they would pull air from the bottom of the case. Now the mobo is upside down becauase of the PSU in the front bottom of the case eating up all the space for a full size GPU, this is the reason they've designed this case in such a manner.

Just thought if i would install a CPU Cooler with a 240mm radiator at the top for better CPU coolling to replace the 2x120mm case fans, just wondering what that would do to the GPU temp. I guess i just need to try unless someone has experience in this setup with this case?
