typical case temperature for a small case
Hello I was wondering what is the average temps for a mini-atx case, currently playing cod warzone gpu max at 70 and averages at 67.
CPU- maxes at 80 but averages at 75-77.

Ah i see so these temperatures are normal for mini-itx builds? I also managed to get the GPU to run cooler now the max is 66 averaged st 63 with a slightly more aggressive fan curve.
Yeah, but that case does seem to be a bit better than other ITX cases for airflow. MSI didn't do a bad job on that.

You need to list computer case, case fans, case fan setup, gpu, cpu and cpu cooler.
the pc is a msi prebuilt and it is not my pc it is a friends. He has a rtx 2070 and a i7 9700k
That is all I know so far

I managed to find the link

The case is pretty slim it seems like a case that just exhausts heat only fan is the cpu

depends on the case brand/model
each will have different fan locations and air restrictions

most oem cases have very poor airflow, while many aftermarket have good airflow with decent fans
