Side mounting fans affecting GPU cooling?

[RandomRolls]

I have two 140mm (reverse style) intake side fans, my GPU is fairly large and is vertically mounted. It lines up with the GPU exhaust so they are fighting against each other constantly. I was wondering how bad this is? Should I swap the fans out? 
 

Here is what it looks like….

I believe linus actually had an issue with this in one of his videos, i forget which one but i remember seeing a "throwback" kinda thing recently in the $5K upgrade videos for kallmekris, but yes i believe this does cause a slight issue, if you have an exhaust at the back and 3 bottom intakes, you could turn these side fabs into exhaust and have 3 in from bottom and 3 out, cooling gpu better and keeping positive pressure if you run them slightly slower than the intakes

 

Not sure if there are any other fans in the case, but with an assumption from what i can see/guess, send us a pic of the entire setup and can maybe go from there and see what we can do

I have 4 exhaust and 5 intake (including those two 140s)

thatd be 3 in 6 out with a flip, seems very heavily negative, but up to you, it probably does cause a decent bit of turbulence and fighting between the fans, but if temps are fine, then, id say youre good to leave as is

People think more fans = better, but it really doesn't tend to work that way.

 

Side and top fans are really for radiators, or if you can't have intakes anywhere else.

 

You may find it runs cooler with them removed entirely, although I prefer positive pressure myself (more intake than exhaust) as it helps prevent air being sucked in awkward places where you can't put a dust filter as instead excess air gets pushed out of those places.

You haven't told us your temps...
