What fan configuration would you guys recommend for better airflow? I've currently got the top 2 radiator fans setup at intakes with auto speed in the bios. Rear fan running at Full Speed Exhaust and Front 3 Fans running at Full Speed Intakes, AIO pump running at full speed. My only concern is I'm not sure if I should have the radiator fans as intake or exhaust? Photo is attached. Thanks for your help.

 

 

GPU is Overclocked to +100 Mhz on the Core and +750Mhz on the memory with maxxed out power/temp gauges.
CPU is Auto OCed in Ryzen Master.

Front intake and top exhaust is good.

Would the hot air from the GPU affect the CPU temps in that setup?

Yes but it's not a big deal.

Better or best airflow?

 

I run 120x38s and they are awesome. They will blow away many popular referrals. Looks like you have a couple of rads.. perfect.

Either or @freeagent. I just swapped the top rad fans to exhaust, and now the GPU Idles at 32-34 Degrees, down from 40 at idle (60ish under load, down from 65), which is great, CPU idles at 42-44 and 70 high underload. What do you think of moving the radiator to the front and keep the fans as is right now, 1 rear exhaust, 2 top exhaust and 3 front intakes with 2 of those fans being on the rad? Think the cooling would be better than what it's at right now?

The cpu might get better cooling and the warmer air might be worse for the gpu. It's hard to tell what would happen without testing.

I agree you’d have to play with it. In my case my gpu idles at 25-27 and loads at about 60.
