Case fans under gpu??

SaturnX29

(my stellar artwork for reference in attachment)

 

Would two case fans facing upwards (pushing air towards gpu) do anything? My psu is on the bottom left of the case, just under the metal. the fan is facing down towards the floor so no hot air is going upwards into the case.

 

Would two fans like ive drawn make any difference with airflow temp, or do any harm at all? Another reason i would want some is just for aesthetics too if anything.

is there holes for fan on the shroud? I can't tell because your drawing covers it up

Pointless, even if the PSU shroud it slightly perforated, between that and the cables this will not aid airflow in any meaningful way. What case is this and how many front intake fans do you have?

It won't do any harm, temps wise it also won't make much difference except for idle temps assuming your graphics card and case fans ramp up rpm with temperature. 

There's a ton of mesh on the case so it's fairly open air already

Unless the PSU shroud is perforated it literally will not do anything, and even if it is, unless OP already has the fans it is a huge waste of money, they will not make any noticeable difference in temps.

No, don't do that, it's good for at least 10C lower temps per fan, why would you do that, everyone knows it's much better to have a psu under the gpu to heat it up warm and nicely! 

 

Maybe someday someone would try that though, who knows..! ~

Yep, there's a bunch of tiny little holes, and even slots for screws.

The Lancool II Mesh has decent airflow, particularly with the front intake.

If your GPU (5700 XT Special Edition?) is already getting good airflow, and your overall system has good air circulation, the bottom mounted fan won't do too much.
