Hello, do you think i should have top fan as exhaust or intake to cool vrms?  Right Now i have front push pull intake on rad, And other front fan as intake, top as exhaust. And i got good results in Aida 64. CPU is i9 9900k. Gpu 1080ti fe blower. Also do you think its worth to add 2x 80mm fan at back ?Thanks

For a solid airflow path, I think double fans exhausting out the back would do nicely, or just transition your current single fan to the back to see if you get an improvement to either noise levels or temps 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Thank you. Also may I ask about gpu. As there is restricted place for gpu to breath -> Now I have GTX 1080ti FE ( blower) it has 7cm to breath in my case ( Corsair Air 240). I could also have GTX 1080ti ASUS STRIX, which is beafier so there would be even less space. Do you think blower is better choice in these conditions ? thx

The strix would overall be better. Not only do you have little space to breathe, but some of the air coming in for the GPU to breathe comes straight off the CPU radiator so it's already heated. A strix has one of the best coolers out there, I say go for it.

What you have currently seems fine. What are your temps?

Here are temp from 32 mins of Aida64

Your temps aren't particularly low but are perfectly fine. As long as the noise levels aren't too high, there's no need to get new fans.

Okay thank you :) These temps are with Corsair h80i quiet profile, so I could change if needed as well.
