Posted November 24, 2019 I have the mechatron case steel version which I mounted my gpu vertical so if the gpu gets hot the fans will blow out the side of the case. Should I mount a 120mm to the side where the gpu fans are pointing to blow air onto it or draw heat away from it. My setup for fan placement is 3 front blowing cool air in and 2 upper blowing hot air out and 1 fan blowing hot air out the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 24, 2019 What’s GPU is it? if it’s a regular aftermarket gpu on a normal mounting position, the fans will suck in air from the bottom and exhaust it to the sides. So towards the sidepanel of the case and the motherboard. Or towards the rear and front of the case depending on the direction and layout of the Aluminium cooling fins. Would be good it you could post a picture with the sidepanel off to see the GPU better. as far as I can tell if you place the fan so it blows air out of the case it will fight for air with the fans of the GPU as they suck in air as well. So it is better to put the fan facing in so that it provides fresh air to the fans of the GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 24, 2019 Axial GPU's pull air INTO the heat sink, so this orientation is good (where it is going to be pulling cool ambient air INTO the case) - if those fans were to point towards your motherboard it would be pulling air from inside the case only Workstation Laptop: Dell Precision 7540, Xeon E-2276M, 32gb DDR4, Quadro T2000 GPU, 4k display Wifes Rig: ASRock B550m Riptide, Ryzen 5 5600X, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6700 XT, 16gb (2x8) 3600mhz V-Color Skywalker RAM, ARESGAME AGS 850w PSU, 1tb WD Black SN750, 500gb Crucial m.2, DIYPC MA01-G case My Rig: ASRock B450m Pro4, Ryzen 5 3600, ARESGAME River 5 CPU cooler, EVGA RTX 2060 KO, 16gb (2x8) 3600mhz TeamGroup T-Force RAM, ARESGAME AGV750w PSU, 1tb WD Black SN750 NVMe Win 10 boot drive, 3tb Hitachi 7200 RPM HDD, Fractal Design Focus G Mini custom painted.

Posted November 24, 2019 I am yet to purchase the final fan horizontal, however, I feel that this is the best setup for my 2080ti. The horizontal fans blow into the intake and the ones lined vertical draw out of the case. All of these fans reduce temps by about 10C and virtually add no additional noise.

Posted November 24, 2019 Author I was going to install a fan from the side of the case to point towards the gpu. Other than that I have 3 fans from the front blowing air in. I guess I’ll install a fan pointing towards the gpu tonight. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they go up to 5000rpm max speed and still silent. When the gpu is under a hard benchmark the heat the comes through is pretty intense, they were well worth the investment.

I'd like to try this too,but I'm curious to know how did you install those 2 fans below GPU,did you get any special bracket? Those look like Noctua fans. Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me, it's not me it's my BPD. Thanks for understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
