Performance impact of inverting be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2 layout?

Hi, 

 

I just to hear if anyone have any experience with performance impact when inverting the layout on the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2 case?

 

I’m new to building computers but just got my Dark Base Pro 900 (rev2) case and are especially wondering if flipping the GPU upside down, when inverting the layout, will decrease the performance. When flipping the GPU fans will face down. 

 

Is this something I should consider or does it not matter? 

 

Sorry, if this is a trivial question but I can't find any information on this... I would just like to invert the layout but not at the expense of noticeable performance degrease. 

 

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Won't really have an impact as long as you have sufficient airflow (fans).

Gamers Nexus has a very in depth review, including Inverted temps comparisons. (there's very little difference)
