Generally, It’s Best To Have As Few Obstacles As Possible Between The Intake Fans On The Front Of The Case And The Exhaust Fans On The Rear And Top Of The Case.
If you do add intake fans in front there is limited. If your case doesn’t allow that configuration, have a front intake fan coupled with proper top or rear exhaust fans, as. Chassis fans can be directly attached to the card and tuned with a curve that is based on cpu and gpu temperatures, providing extra intake or exhaust for demanding 3d tasks.
I Even Added A 2Nd Set Of 3 Fans To The Side Mount Radiator So I Can Keep Those At Idle Almost All The Time.
Generally, you need an intake and an exhaust to maintain positive airflow, meaning having more. Make sure you have at least one intake fan and one exhaust fan to promote a more natural airflow throughout the case. Investing in decent case fans can seriously reduce internal temps, especially if they have high cfm (cubic feet per minute) levels.
To Get The Maximum Performance Out Of Your Graphics Card And In Games, Your Gpu Usage Should Be.
Reverse mode with front mesh kit at fan bracket scenario replace the glass panel to the front mesh kit brings further fresh air into the chassis to cool the cpu and gpu efficiently. However, a better option (especially if you have a video card model with a hole in the back that blows hot air up into the cpu cooler) may be to invert the airflow of the case completely, have the back fan, top fans and side fans as intake and use the front fans (and potentially the bottom one or the frontmost top fan, but you'd have to see what works better) as exhaust with. Adding an additional pair of intake and exhaust (for a total of four fans).
This Will Give Cool Air Directly To The Intake Fans On The Gpu Itself.
Also, be aware of the other fans in your system that could impact the air flow such as cpu and gpu fans. Filtration is provided on every possible intake location, including the top exhaust. I tested all these configs and for overall system performance this works best.
Exhaust Fans Behind The Gpu Directly Pull The Heat Out Of The Chamber, Effectively Control The Gpu Temperature.
The rear of the card sports two pwm fanconnect headers that provide additional diy flexibility. Games nexus reviewed this case and found it to have some of the best cpu and gpu thermals with its. Lots of youtube videos about people monkeying with them to try to get better cooling / higher flow with mostly poor results as even higher flows don’t actually do much to temps (esp gpu temps as the stock config negative pressure draws cool outside air right across the gpu’s own fans).
