I was going to say, my brother is part of the overclockers Australia community and has been there for a while. admin on their discord channel.

He said it makes no difference.

 

I will say that changing the airflow direction should make a difference. I am going to change the back fan to suck air out instead of sucking fresh in air.

I will then change the TOP Radiator fan direction from blowing air out of the case, to blowing it into the case.

I think that might be where things will change. I set it up this way under the advise of my brother. 

I just suspect that is why the cpu is getting so hot.

my CPU runs up to the high 50's when gaming, GPU high 40's to low 50's depending on what game

with air con running and the temps are low 40's GPU and mid to high 40's CPU 

 

idle now  GPU is 30 and CPU is 34  (ambient temp is 26) cos cold and raining in Cairns

1 rad v 2 is different. He has only one cooling surface so it won’t make any difference

 

In my experience with 2 rads you get better cooling going from each heat source to a rad by more than 10c on my setup but what would I know..

@k31th If I'm wanting to create an emulated Surface Pro-esq tablet environment on my work laptop so I can run our software on that simulated screen size to get layouts right etc...is Visual studio with the Microsoft Emulator for W10 the way to go?

I assume you're already on a windows machine, so you can just change the resolution of the screen you're currently on to match whatever device, if it's only resolution you're testing. If you're testing more than that, it gets complicated depending on which direction you want to go.

Ideally just resolution...but the surface has higher resolution than my machine haha. And I don't seem to have a resolution in the options that has the same aspect ratio 😬

well, you can run a virtual machine via "Windows Virtual PC" or "Hyper-V" (depending on the version of windows you're using) to get a VM of any resolution. Obviously if the resolution is bigger than your baseline, it'll require a considerable amount of scrolling to see it all, but it'll get the job done.
