Fun fact: since replacing my H7 with a Noctua D15S, not only have my CPU temperatures gone down drastically, but my GPU temperatures are actually substantially lower now. I have yet to see my 970 hit 70C since getting the beefcake cooler.
Guessing my case just needed a little more exhaust?

Interesting! Maybe it is as you say since a lot of air is recirculated on open-air GPUs.
In fact I wish someone sold an expansion-slot mountable fan so you could place an exhaust fan below your GPU.

@Energycore http://gelidsolutions.com/thermal-solutions/accessories-pci-slot-fan-holder/ there's this, $17 on ebay.

@herman mcpootisthat's actually really cool!
-
@herman mcpootis I don't mean that, I mean one that lets you use the expansion slots themselves as exhaust. It would span multiple slots.
-
@Energycore So one that mounts the fan in the same way as the rear exhaust, performing the same job?
