Optimal air flow?

DevilsHand676 · January 30, 2020

Alright boys and girls im looking to optimize my cooling with air flow. Ive got an AIO in my cpu with the radiator mounted to the back and 2 fans attached on that baby. For intake I've got 2 more fans on the front bringing that air in. Is this already the best? Im maxing around 75 - 77 C when playing games and it gets banging loud. The pipes from the aio are on the bottom of the radiator if that matters.

Should I switch it to be in from the back and out the front? should I move the radiator to be an intake or out on the front?

Ive made a picture to go along with it :)

I feel like generally taking air in the front and exhausting out the back is standard practice. It's probably also best you use the radiator as an exhaust and not an intake that way you aren't taking in the hot air off the radiator. As far as if you can improve the airflow, technically you could always add more fans. But as with most things there are diminishing returns, and I don't think adding a 5th or 6th fan would make a huge difference in this case.
