Looking for opinions on this. My case is Fractal Design Meshify C. This is what my current setup looks like. I'm wondering for the 140mm fans I already have installed up front, is it better to have them as high or low as possible? Currently I have them high would moving them low help my GPU temps? Another thing I was wondering is it worth it to add top 140mms up top for exhuast.

You can move them a tiny bit down so the GPU gets more air. I believe it won't make a significant difference.

What about fans at the top?

An additional exhaust fan near the rear might help but only if the system is already having issues removing heat.

Slightly offtopic, but thought it's better than making a new thread. Question about cooling an 5800X3D. Is it worth switching over to an AIO or getting a new case. Would I be fine with upgrading to a Noctua NH-D15. Since the 5800X3D can't be OC I wonder does the AIO have any point, unless the Noctua NH-D15 will limit the stock performance.

 

I'm asking about a new case because I think an AIO would be quite limiting space wise and I would need a bigger case. My case can only fit up to 315mm GPUs with the fans, so an AIO would likely make that worse. I can't imagine I'd be able to fit a non reference 3080 or 6900, or 6950 into this case anyway.

You don’t need an AIO for X3D. A little PA120 is plenty.

The Hyper 212 BE should be fine. Try it out and see if you're satisfied with results. 

A better cooler can increase performance a bit but the biggest difference would be lowering noise.
