Hi Guys,

Looking at getting some new case fans or some kind of cooling systems for my pc. The main thing I need cooling is my GPU as on high performance games it can get a little loud. Can anyone recommend any good ones? Not really got a budget for it as I'm guessing case fans aren't going to be massively expensive.

Thanks for any help, my specs are below.

How many case fans are in there at the moment, and where are they positioned?

What model of RX 480 is it exactly? (you can use the lookup function on GPUz if you don't know https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ )

What are the GPU's temps under heavy gaming load?

Have you dusted the inside of the PC? (if not, make sure you know how before you do :))

2 case fans in there currently
https://www.asus.com/uk/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-RX480-O4G/ It's this card but 8gb version
I'm not sure about the temps but its never hot inside as the fans cool it well but its just that they have to go pretty fast which in turn makes them loud
I do clean it frequently but this has been an issue since I first got it so dust isn't a problem

Thanks for any help :)

I'd suggest checking the temps with something like MSI afterburner or Realtemp.

If the temps are a lot lower than they need to be and the GPU fans are too aggressive, you could just adjust the fan profile with MSI Afterburner.
