I've been running Zelda Breath of the Wild on Cemu (Wii U emulator) and GPU temps are reaching 70-75 on 1080p and 80-82 on 2k. My MSI GTX 1070 Aero ITX is holding up but definitely getting louder. This is the case I'm working with (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp...cYFRCu&id=579903903454&ns=1&abbucket=4#detail). Ideally I would like to run at 2k 60fps hence I upgraded by CPU cooler recently.
Here are the 2 options I have in mind:
1) Placing a slim 12mm (Scythe Slipstream Slim 120 x 120 x 12) fan underneath the GPU to act an exhaust - clearance may be an issue, doesn't look like a 15mm would be able to fit underneath. This is the preferred option since it would cost less than $10 to do.
2) Replacing the MSI GTX 1070 Aero ITX with a Galax 1070 OC Mini, an old fan but I found a decently discounted one, could trade my MSI one in for a trade in. Size may be an issue but I've always wanted to try a Galax GPU. The 1070 is getting long in the tooth so that's another consideration.
Probably the next demanding game I'll try on this system is Cyberpunk 2077 if it comes out later this year.
Appreciate the replies.
