How can I cool my PC best while using axial-fan GPU?

scoreman

Hi guys,

 

Im gonna buy the GTX 760, with axial fans, and I recently found out about the blower type and how it can be used for blowing hot air out of pc case, helping with positive pressure airflow. So now I'm unsure on using the axial type. But all I want to know is how can I best cool my PC with an axial GPU fan type?

 

Specs:

Fractal Design Arc Mini R2

EVGA GTX 760 - axial

Intel i5 4460

AsRock H97 Pro 4

G.Skillz Ripjaws X 16GM ram

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Crucial SSD M500 120GB 

 

Note: I wont be overclocking or doing serious gaming.

 

Thanks for the help!

Just buy a custom cooler, they're quieter and keep the gpu cooler.
Stock ones are sometimes a bit louder and tend to run hotter.

SuperNova: CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k @4.6 GPU: Sapphire R290 Tri-x @1200, @1350, MOBO: MSI Z87 G45 Gaming, RAM: 16Gb HyperX Fury White @1866, PSU: CORSAIR TX750M, CASE: Arc Midi R2, SSD: Kingston 120gb SSD, 
COOLING:
H100i w/ 2x Nb eLoop 800rpm

I'm a noob, what exactly is a custom cooler?

Your card already has that (being ACX). The two fan are intaking towards GPU and air is exhausting all over the case. So basicly your in-case airflow needs to be positive or near to neutral. With your case 2 in, 2 out is fine. If you feel that something is overheating, you can add one fan to intake from bottom.
