Looking for tips for fan configuration

[Echuu]

Hello! Finally was lucky enough to get a 3080 but it was bigger than my previous case so I've upgraded cases as well. It's a Corsair 4000D with 6 120mm fans. I'm looking for some tips on fan configuration and also a specific question about one fan.

 

In the pic you can see the 3 front fans doing pull and top 2 and back fan doing push. One thing I've noticed is that the front top fan blows out cold air, i would think it would get some of the hot GPU air but maybe it's getting sucked into the CPU cooler? Should i turn it off if it's sucking the intake air out?

 

What kind of fan configuration would you recommend? I have a somewhat dusty home with a fair amount of dog hair so that might play into the consideration as well.

 

Any tips would be appriciated.

I have three intake in front and two intake up top and one exhaust in the back. Cases aren't perfectly air tight so I've noticed it's better to have more cold air coming in while having at least one exhaust. Other than that just make sure your PSU can breathe too.

 

All my intakes have dust filters which does help a lot but not completely with dust/hair cleanup (I used to live with a cat). So I'd recommend getting some if the case doesn't have any built in.

 

Edit: spelling

i think the back fan on the cpu cooler is backwords

Doesn't look too bad. Best way to avoid dust is to move the case off the floor. Can you put it on a table at all?

Turn that rear CPU fan around. Your CPU is going to be warmer than it should be with your current CPU fan configuration, as hot air isn't being allowed to escape the heatsink.

front top fan can be intake or removed. butting a fan on the psu shroud would help thow it looks like its not really supported.

Damn, my brother set up that cpu fan and yeah now I see the arrow as well, getting right on that! And I'll take your other tips into consideration as well, thanks everyone!
