Try top and bottom intake with side exhaust and see if that performs any better. 

Posted

Good evening, I have a question about the Intake and Exhaust for my PC build.. This is my first PC build and i had my AIO in the begin to (Exhaust) but the temps were around 50 to 55C, Now i turned the AIO fans to Intake and my CPU went from 50 to 55C down to 32 to 40C (Huge improvement) Now i was wondering because my GPU is now idling at around 50C And the fans under my GPU are done as Exhaust. Is it better leave the AIO as intake with the bottom 3 fans as Exhaust and my 3 side fans as Exhaust also? Or is it better to change the bottom 3 to Intake also to coolmy GPU further and is it than still able to Exhaust all the air through the 3 Side fans? Thanks for all the help already! 🙂

 

P.S. Sorry for the crappy photo 😛

I will try that than, But will it still be enough for the 3 side fans to exhaust the air out of the PC? 

Yes, that's plenty.

Most systems are fine with a single intake and exhaust fan.
