My 7800x3D is quite warm in my SFF case. Considering replacing it with 7700. Worth it for cooling? | Linus Tech Tips | Page 1

Do you usually play games with the side pannels off

#

I mean that would be lovely for airflow to keep off xD

Would you be opposed to running a pedestal fan next to it?

#

I did that with an old old pc and it was wonderful 😄

Haha yeah definitely. I want it to work just fine on its own. I will transport it quite alot, hence the tiny build 😄

#

It's actually quite ok right now, but since I have the opportunity to swap the CPU with a 7700, I would just love to hear out some opinions out there

#

If 7700 will run much cooler, or is that just bs
