Yeah, you're right. I've been looking at some fans lately, and this one really caught my eyes https://www.arctic.de/en/P12/ACFAN00118A . Would you recommend anything else?

i have 5 of those in my current rig. You really cannot beat them for the price. Silent operation and good enough static pressure for most usecases.

I have only 1 fan in my case so far, right now its orientated as exhaust, but my GPU temps are pretty high (79.7c in valley and 80.9c in heaven). Since both of my GPU fans are intake, would reinstalling my fan to the intake orientation significantly improve the temperatures?

 

Edit: the fan is at the back, 1264rpm is its full speed

Cant have one without the other... 😉

Balance is key.

Sounds like you more need a 2nd fan.

 

You will get more help if you sketch out the situation. Every case is different.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!

Intake. As long as you are pushing front to back you will always have continuous airflow. I am running 3 intake at the front, 1 exhaust at the rear. I also have to top taped off. Works pretty good..

Actually, if CPU is using stock cooler, 1 fan setup should be exhaust. Getting rid of hot air is more important.
