Hi, I live in Puerto Rico, very hot and super high humidity. I'm using the corsair H80i v2 for CPU cooler and works great, at roughly 2000 rpm's my temps stay between 33-40 on normal days (no noise problem). That's not the case with my MSI GTX 1060 gamingX 6GB, normally she hovers in the 38-40c, but in hot days she goes to 55-60 just watching movies. I can get her to work on 40-45 with the gaming app with fans ON.
This is normal for a this card? Can i get her water cooled? It's OK to play with the fans ON all the time?
Corsair 200R case
Intel i7 6700k CPU
Asus b150m- A D3
Corsair 600X PSU
MSI GTX 1060
The fan position are, two 120mm on front intake and two in the side panel. The h80i is in the top rear push and pull as exhaust.
The card works normally at 70-75c playing witcher by herself controlling the fans, i can get about 10c less with the fans ON all the time. The CPU stay in the 45c range.
I'm not 100% sure but fairly certain there isn't a full cover waterblock for that gpu. You could always use something like the nzxt bracket for an aio.
Another thing to take note of. Your only exhaust is a push pull on the CPUs radiator. While this is ok, I wouldn't expect great temps on an open air style gpu cooler like the one you're using. Seeing as you're good on intake fans I'd see if you can't try to get a 2nd exhaust fan in there somewhere to get rid of some of that warm air being pushed around the gpu.
Given your locale and how you have airflow set up in your case, you're about where I'd expect you to be temp wise.
Thanks, for the reply. I have another corsair 120mm fan laying around that i can use as exhaust. The case have one mounting fan on the bottom directly below the GPU fans and two others on top.
I'm leaning toward the bottom mount, but it's okay to use this as exhaust with just half inch between the desk?

Honestly that as am exhaust probably won't help much. You might try it as another intake. Better yet, skip that and maybe drop another at the top as exhaust.
Installed another exhaust fan on the top panel and gave me a few degrees less, but honestly just the sound isn't worth it. The fan is a corsair 120mm 31-003606 at 1200 rpm's. I'm not specially super quiet freak but this is a little high.
Any recommendation, or in the meantime leave the machine as is was?
