So Iv been told several times that in an nzxt case, like the h500 or s340 a intake fan in the case isnt worth getting as it doesnt make a difference with temps if the intake fans arent there. Iv also been told my several other people that with intake fans their temps dropped a lot compared to without. I understand the first point due to air tryna find its way into the case due to the small grills on the case for air to enter. But making an purchase of 2 extra fans when the temps wont drop that much aint really worth it. If anyone can either test this or can tell me if its worth spending £50 or £40 on 2 intake fans.

this could vary from case to case. As far as the H500 goes, adding intake fans worsens GPU thermals significantly without helping CPU temps much. Swapping the top from exhaust back to intake should solve it.

Ahhh bless, so swapping the top fan will lower temps, Thx
