I've got a pretty solid PC setup: Gigabyte Z790 Eagle AX Motherboard, Corsair RM1000x Power Supply, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM, an Intel i7 14700K CPU, and a Gigabyte GEFORCE RTX 5070 graphics card, all cooled by a Thermalright Frozen Prism 240 White ARGB AIO cooler, with Windows 11 running on it. I've been feeling like my performance in games isn't where I want it to be, and I'm curious if I might need to improve my cooling setup with more fans or something else. I'm also considering a new AIO that isn't RGB to free up some motherboard slots for extra fans. Can you help me figure out what else I could do to make my PC run even better?

Your setup is already impressive! With that hardware, you shouldn't be struggling with modern games. A couple of things to think about are what games you're playing, the resolution and settings you're using, and what kind of performance you're currently experiencing. Are you playing at 1440p or 4K? Just curious, what kind of FPS are you aiming for?
You might want to check if you're thermal throttling. The i7 14700K can run hot, especially if you're pushing it hard with games. Also, while Intel CPUs are great, AMD's x3d CPUs have a solid reputation for gaming performance. What kind of performance do you actually want to achieve? Don't sweat it, tweaking things can be tricky!
