Airflow Help

[DGTreats]

Hey guys I need suggestions in getting the best airflow to cool my pc

 

I just finished putting it together and its my first time building a pc, would like some suggestions on optimizing airflow

arrows drawn to indicate where fans are pushing the air

 

i feel like this setup isn’t ideal as the GPU gets very hot (80+ degrees), and the way the gpu fans and top mounted radiator fans are setup isnt helping the issue as well

 

 

would pulling in air from the top be more ideal even if it’s sucking in hot air through a radiator and just blowing it into the gpu?

 

i really feel like im a few fan flips away from getting an ideal airflow but can’t seem to figure it out in my own 

 

Help pls.

yes. right now your GPU is not getting any air at all. The big radiator fans are way more powerful than the small GPU fans

so would flipping the radiator fans be the only thing I would need to do to fix my problem? and just leave everything else as it is?

Your build is upside down lol

Yes I think the top rad should be on intake to cool the GPU, else they will try to exhaust while the GPU fans are on intake...

maybe try flipping everything around. have the rad intake, then exhaust out the back/bottom. Also have the slim fan taking in fresh air.

Top fans are facing the opposite direction of graphics card fans. Flip them to intake instead.

Flip the right side fan to exhaust to help remove heat.

Help pls.

Flip your top and bottom fans so your GPU can have fresher air and also creating a negative pressure therefore encouraging air to enter the case
