GPU cooling question

[Blaugrana]

Hi

 

I just finished a new system with the Fractal Define R5 and the EVGA GTX980 Superclocked 2.0.

I use one front fan and one bottom fan for intake and 1 rear fan for exhaust. (all 140mm)

While the case is silent on normal use, while gaming the GPU gets really loud when reaching 85°.

 

I have 2 140mm fans available, what should be the most beneficial to cool the GPU?

1 intake on the side panel, one exhaust on the top? Both?

 

I checked with speedfan and it is only the GPU that gets hot. Case temperatures were below 40°.

 

Thanks in advance.

Get one in the front and one on the top.

Though, adding one to the side panel is good option as well, I don't know...

Yeah, oen on the side panel would help a good bit. ^^^

i would do 2 on top as exhaust, it helps with dust. how much does the temps decrease when you take off your side panel? this should give you a idea of what temp would be like if you if you had a fan next to it.
