On the GPU side, yes and no, since the CPU and GPU are partitioned from each other and the temp of one doesn’t have any effect on the other, but we were getting the same frame rate with mine at ~75 and his 2060 running to around 84. I know someone else who had the case with a 1080 in it (180W vs the 2060’s 160W, or my 1650S’s 130W overclock) running at similar temps to mine while destroying both. It really comes down to using good exhaust fans, which he was not (and one of his just wasn’t spinning and he never stopped to find out why or fix it)
Edit for clarification: I’m saying the exhaust fans (a choice he made) are the limiting factor because his 2060 is running against the built in “something is wrong” limit where the GPU starts to downclock itself, because the same case with proper exhaust fans can handle a higher wattage card and allow OC room to a lower wattage card

bruh he had a fan not running? how do you not realise that
that makes sense ig
Worse, he pointed out on cam that the fan wasn’t spinning for some reason, then didn’t fix it or investigate and tested it as is
