Hi all you fabulous people I come with yet another question regarding cooling. 

First of all my setup that you need to know:

Case: cooler master masterbox lite 5

AIO: Coolermaster MasterLiquid Lite 120 120mm All-in-One Watercooler

Fans: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C3YCG1Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Now on to the question at hand,

The case has space for 4 fans 3 at the front at one at the back, I currently have it set up so the 3 front are intake and the AIO is at the back with the fan then the RAD then case as an exhaust. But when i game my case gets very hot, and my GPU hits around 70 degrees (1660 Super) Now I know this isn't hot by any means but will moving my AIO to the front having it case then fan then RAD will this improve the temps in my case? and can I just the the fans already on the front or do i need to use the one that came with it? Don't want to mess up my RGB that's all.

I don't think so, the rad will pre-heat the air coming in and the case will just get even hotter.

I think the modern mainstream cooling layout is messed up.

I believe Bitwit did a video, probably 3years ago, about this. Having radiator as intake will not effect gpu by much. On the other hand, radiator as exhaust, with open air cooled gpu, will significantly effect radiator temp.

 

Edit: Case temperature highly depends on case design and fan layout. There aint much you can do, since you already populated all your fan spots.

The case is nice looking, but horrible for cooling design. 

 

3 case fans front (intake)

1 case fan rear exhaust. 

 

No side panel or top exhaust.

Don't think there's much you can do.

 

How do temps look with the side panel off? Does the case temps look much cooler? Does the Cpu run cooler?
