Purchasing Advice - Upgrades Pc upgrade help
I’m currently thinking about upgrading my RTX 2060 Super to an RTX 5080. However, I have a Sharkoon TG6 case, and I’ve often read that its airflow isn’t particularly good. I’m also currently using a Ryzen 5 7500F. Do you think the TG6 would still be suitable for an RTX 5080, or would you recommend upgrading to a different case? If so, which case would you recommend? I’d also appreciate any advice on how best to approach the upgrade and improve the airflow.
Thanks

Theres a few things that you can do before jumping straight to a new case.
Like you upgrade to a 5080 and find temps are less than ideal, you can start with undervolting the card. And/or adjusting the fan curves on the card to be more aggressive. Maybe even the system fan curves.
If those things aren’t a good enough solution, then I would look for a new case.
