Fan configuration

thegamecze · May 7, 2023

Hey guys,

I upgraded to big tower and then my cpu and gpu to

5800x3D and 6950xt

this girl can put out a lot of heat.

my question is, is this right config? Can i do something more/different? Is there any option to “measure” or see airflow?

No temp trottling, just want to have effecient build.

EDIT : when i am playing i open glass side and so much heat is above gpu near rear fan, like its “stuck” there?
or maybe just to much power

NOW ITS WITHOUT FANS ON PSU SHROUD.

Thanks!

That fan setup looks fine, honestly it comes down to what you want priority on cooling. Having the top rad as a exhaust might give you higher overall CPU temps, but it's not a big deal.

Positive air pressure means more fans intaking air and less fans exhausting, this usually gives you less dust build up. Negative air pressure is more fans exhausting and less fans working as intakes, that tends to give you a bit more dust build up. Generally I try to have a positive air pressure setup.

What case is this?

There very much so is something called too many fans.

Btw those fans on the shroud do basically nothing except break the airflow path of your front and side fans. They aren't getting any fresh air as the psu is there. I'd remove them to allow for better airflow.

Seems your case is very open in the back so you could just put the aio also on intake for better cpu temps and just have it eject air at a high speed out the back due to pressue.
