Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a new case and CPU cooler setup for my gaming rig. Currently, I'm using a 7700x processor and a 7900xtx graphics card, housed in an MPG GUNGNIR 120R case with a T120 RGB CPU cooler from Micro Center. I've noticed that my desktop tends to overheat when gaming, especially with CS2—crashing only happens when the case is closed, but it runs fine once I remove the glass door for better airflow. I'm not keen on water cooling, so I'm looking for better air cooling options that will allow me to keep the case closed (I need to protect my cables from my cats!). Any recommendations out there? Cheers!

Sounds like you might be facing some thermal throttling. From what you mentioned, your CPU is reaching 95C, which is super high! Make sure you have enough case fans for proper airflow. If you can share your full build specs, that would help us suggest some good cooler options that keep the case sealed off from your cats.
First off, how hot are your CPU and GPU getting when you play? Also, what’s your case fan setup like? Crashes can happen for various reasons, but if you're hitting high temps, that could be something to consider. Let's also talk about your other specs—what motherboard and power supply are you using?
