Dual x61 airflow question.

[yannickverc]

HeyGuys

 

So I have an x61 on my cpu and an x61 on my GPU (with the g10 bracket). My GPU temps are simply incredible, but my CPU temps are a little too high.. 

Picture of CAM: (This is while I have some chrome tabs open with 2 streams and steam)

Spoiler

I have an H440 case. The rad from the GPU is in the front pulling air in. (3 fans on it, the 2 standard ones and 1 BeQuiet! silent wings 2)

The rad from the CPU is on the top pushing air out. (2 BeQuiet! silent wings on it.)

 

Now I think my CPU temps are so high because the air I pull in is already hot because it has to cool the GPU rad.

 

The solution I have in mind is to reverse the airflow on the CPU rad. So instead of pushing the air from the case out, I was thinking about pulling it in. But is it a good idea to only have fans pulling air IN the case and 0 fans pushing the air out?

 

Thanks!

a front rad won't heat up the rest of the system much.

i would remount the cpu cooler with new paste.
