cooling help for new pc

[crazy guy]

Hey, guys im new here and need some help with my pc build airflow

 

my case is thermaltake core x71, motherboard is maximus xii hero z490

 

im using noctua 140mm ppc 2000rpm fans for all intakes and exhaust

3 front intake, 3 top exhaust, 2 bottom intake, 2 side intake, 1 rear exhaust, 2 cpu cooler fan, also my gpu is hybrid with a radiator

 

cpu cooler is nhd15 chromax. My fan setup is on the pic below, I dont care about noise, my concern is if airflow seems to be good or not, should i use bottom/side as intake or not?

any advice would be a great help

Change the GPU rad to intake instead of outtake. Leave the rest how it is.

Why? You're realistically not gaining any performance and you're going against convection. EK rates its radiators ~10% higher when pointing upward than when they're vertical.

No, not moving the radiator to a different position, just swap the fan around as intake rather than outtake. It won't make a huge difference but the air it will be pushing in will be a lot cooler than if it was the air going out.

That's worse. Hot air rises, so your fan will have to work harder to push hot air down into the system.

 

With 3 front fans, the frontmost top fan will be getting plenty of cold air, and you won't be heating up passives inside the case (VRM, memory, etc)

Ahh makes sense.
