Dead spots in cases?

[wadalite]

        I was watching the ltt video on mesh/non mesh front panels and linus talked a bit about the lack of airflow past the gpu and I realized that no cases i’ve seen actually solve this issue, seemingly due to the lack of an exhaust fan below the gpu. Would it be excessive to 3d print an adapter that would let me mount a fan (probably one or two 40mm fans due to clearance) using the expansion slot holes?

        This would be for my first pc build, running a 3060 ti and a deepcool CH370 for the case. I have most of the parts already. (i’ve never had a pc with an actual gpu before lol) (sorry if this has been talked abt before, i briefly scanned recent posts and didn’t see anything)

its not really much of a problem. set the case fans to a decent speed and it'll exchange the air just fine.

a lot of youtubers like to just make issues and we deal with the aftermath of people who want those issues clarified. sure the air might not move as much in that particular spot but then again it moves enough for millions of pc's to not have an issue with it.

Thanks! I have the bad habit of overthinking EVERYTHING and was fully prepared to start taking measurements on the case.

To be fair if you do some airflow ducting to and from the gpu to force airflow and exhaust the temps do tend to decrease a decent bit actually

 

Its a fun little project

 

You dont have to do it of course if temps are fine
