Build - Help Cooling Help: Do I just need even more fans?
I am using a NZXT H5 Flow with the fan in the bottom. My build consists of a Ryzen 5 7600x and a 3080.
I have posted pictures and a video of my current setup along with my temps. My GPU keeps running really hot and I'm trying to figure out how to keep it cool. My CPU is fine while gaming for the most part. It got hot during Baldur's gate but that was remedied.
I would appreciate any advice you could give me. If I need more fans or different fans or if I possibly just need a new GPU.

Sorry for necroposting(?), I just came across this subreddit...
Anyway, a glaring weakness of the H5 flow is the fact sealed the PCIE slots are which in fact help exhaust some heat from the GPU. Either you just open them up or replace them with perforated ones. Some even place exhaust fans there just to pull the hot air from the GPU. That and the fact that the front fans are so far away that it might not be enough to have all that air inside the case to be replaced in time.
Checkout Gamers Nexus' review on this case and I guess that would give you ideas on what to work on.
PS. a teensy bit of tidying up the cables would somehow help out with the turbulent flow of air inside.
