Is this fan configuration correct? Rad & Bottom are the same, while Top & Rear are exhaust 

 

Case: Lian Li O11 Mini Dynamic 

9 Lian Li Sl120 & 140mm v2 Fans

& Z63 KRAKEN NZXT AIO

Does the airflow feel correct? From the look of the fans, you have it opposite, bottom and rad are exhaust, top and rear are intake..

I am a new builder, looked everywhere & tbh this looked better, temps for CPU @ 30 idle & GPU 40 idle..

 

Will there be a big difference if I did it the other way?

Probably not a huge difference, but why not run the test?

 

Idle temps don't really matter, look at load temps.

 

What way does the air feel like its moving from the fans?

I suggest you have the bottom and rear on intake, top and side on exhaust. Please let us know the results.

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂
