My geforce gtx 1060 3GB and i5-6600Ks temps seems awfully high?

Hi. So, as the title suggests, i`ve recently been searching around on the internet for temps on people with the same components, and i found people had lower temps than i did. My CPU even uses an AIO, and people with air coolers have been getting better temps!

So here`s my system, as well as temps:

CPU: i5-6600K, stock speeds(@3.5ghz). Idle: 40C, load: 64C
CPU cooler: Intel TS13X
Graphics card: MSI Geforce GTX 1060 3GB Gaming X. Idle: 45C, Load: 81C
Motherboard: MSI B150A gaming pro

Could this perhaps be beacuse of my case? My father actually modified an old case, and except for the CPU radiator fan, it has 2x 90(I think it`s 90)mm Fans.

Thanks In advance! :)

Okay. One fan in the front and side panel as intake and the rear fan as exhaust. Side panel fan will certainly give the GPU some fresh air. Just make sure that the intake fans has filter, otherwise there will be a lot of dust inside the case.

First of all, that is not the best liquid cooler on the market. There are many air coolers that is better! And secondly, 64 degrees on load is no problem. U can probably lower the cpu voltage a bit because motherboards usually set the stock voltage to high. When it comes to the GPU, it sounds like it could be bad airflow in the case.

Yeah, i got all my Components for christmas, and i wasn`t even expecting anything but the stock cooler, so my dad chose that one. I think he his pretty careful with brands, and i think he likes Intel, so he probably chose it beacuse of that. As for the GPU, do you think changing the case fan modes (Intake or outake) might help with better airflow, or do you suggest i get a new case all together?

Two intakes in the front and one exhaust in the back is often enough. Can you fit 120 mm fan is that preferable! It is also important that the airflow have room to move air inside the case.

Actually. one thing that`s kinda special about this case, is that it has one fan in the front (CPU), one in the back, and one is actually on the sidepanel, which is kinda special. So, with this config, what do you recommend?

A little late, but turns out all my fans were set to intake, and i didn`t notice xD
