Hey guys, just to start, this is my first build and current hardware setup https://pcpartpicker.com/user/phonedude/saved/v3yhMp
I'm living in Michigan now and moving down to Tuscon in a month or so, and recently while playing some games my GPU had been running at 72.C max, and then over the past week or so sometimes reaching 75.C max while playing Battlegrounds. From what I've been able to research that isn't a temp to worry about too much, but I feel like with the HAF 920 Advanced stock fans it shouldn't get that high. I installed XOC and set it to bump the GPU fans up to 80% when the temp hits 70.C, and that seems to keep it between 69.C and 72.C now under load. My worry is essentially that I'm going to be in an area where the ambient temperature is MUCH higher than my current experience, and as I have a lot invested in this I want to take care of it as much as possible to prolong the hardware life. Money isn't really an issue as far as potentially buying cooling systems or new fans, but I figured I would ask some people that have more experience with this dilemma than myself, anything you can input would be appreciated!!! Thanks!
P.S. Also, I have a mild case of dyslexia, if any of the letters are switched around, I apologize for the read XD
