New build, just installed more fans.
Not sure if my temps/speeds are okay, or if everything looks right.
Any suggestions to improve the build?

Heres the specs:
I7 8700K
Corsair h100i V2
Asus Prime Z370-A
GSkill Ripjaws V 16Gig DDR4-3000
GTX 970 (1080Ti coming soon)
Seagate PSU 650W
Samsung 860EVO 500GB SSD
1TB HDD WD

Here's the inside of the case and orientation of where the fans are going: (The fans on the radiator are on the other side)

Here are my idle speeds/temps: (The clock speed jumps from 800-5k mhz)

Heres my speeds/temps while playing fortnite. Also getting 200-260fps in game which is perfect.

Awesome, someone else also using Nzxt CAM. Such an amazing software. Been using it since beta 2.0.

Your temps seems perfectly fine. You should test the maximum load for a more precise look.
Prime95(CPU) and Furmark(GPU). Run them for 15 minutes or so and then check your temperatures. This will also make sure your system is 100% stable.

Also click the top right corner for CPU and GPU for advanced overview.

Just a side note, the CPU changing speed is just the way boost technology works with newer style processors. If it's not running any hard tasks, it will clock itself down to save power.

So why are your two fans on the top exhausting air?

You have a 140mm rear exhaust for that, and it seems the case has naturally decent air-flow to begin with. Switch those to intake fans imo

/e - at least it looks like a 140

Cause generally thats how you do it.
Switching them around without a top dust filter would cause serious dust build up.
Now if he has top filter then by all means as the positive air flow will reduce dust through small crevices.

I do have a top dust filter, should I switch the top fans to intake? That would be 4 intake fans and one exhaust.

Top 2 are 140mm, Rear is 140mm, Front 2 are 120mm.

If it's a real dust filter and not a metal mesh then sure.
The reason for more intake it to create a positive airflow.
The extra air that can't be pushed out will be forced to go out from the small crevices.
With negative air flow air will come in from there and those crevices have no filter so dust builds up fast.

I guess it is a metal mesh type thing. It has magnets on it and sits on the top of the tower.
So is the current airflow setup the best it's going to get for me?

I would leave the tops fans as exhaust.

Your temps are fantastic for 5Ghz.
