Blower vs non-blower cooling

[MooTaters]

So comparing blower to non blowers, which would likely keep one's room temp lower?  I mean I one hand you have non blowers exhausting into the case likely making other components hit higher temps(even if only slightly).  But on the other hand you have blowers exhausting possibly higher temps into the room.  Or is this just plain moot and will barely affect the temperature of one's room(more likely I'm guessing)?  I'm curious because while I've always gone aftermarket on cpu cooling and always been about trying to keep my PC cool, I feel these days even more so I care about my room's temperature(want to be comfy you know).

Your room temperature would not change at all, if it would it will be minute.

Wouldn't affect anything, the case is still in your room. It might just take a bit longer for the hot air to get out of the case.

Basically, non-Blower fans are best for single GPU solutions because there is plenty of space, and thereby, air, to pull in to use to cool the card.

Blower fans are better for Multi-GPU solutions because there is less air to get and blowers are better in tight spaces for cooling. It is especially important to get the hot air out of the case since there are multiple GPU's and you do not want the GPU's fans recycling the air again and again.

Non blowers: Blowing air inside the case before it eventually seeps out through crack into your room.

 

Blower: Blowing air out of your case casing your room to heat up faster but no more since all the heat will eventually come into the room anyway...

 

Non blower fans cool the GPU better while blower fans doesn´t heat the other components

Thanks for the welcome, and answers.  I kind of figured it wouldn't really do anything for my room, but still nice to learn a few things like blowers being better for multi gpu configs.  Haven't posted here much as I'm a member of a few forums(different topics though) so between them and all the other things on the internets I haven't quite looked around here much(though I did a pinch of keyboard research/lurking here).

 

Edit: Question was inspired by Linus' unboxing of the Manli GTX770(for the curious).

Of course you can always be a BOSS and water cool, then it doesn't matter what kind of air cooler the card has...

whoa, whoa partner.. that statement is loaded with all kinds of false statements.

 

it does matter what cooler/card is for water cooling. not all GPU PCBs are the same

in a GPU series. depends on the partner manufacturing the card what PCB is used.

they are not all the same and the air cooler can sometimes denote that effort. it is

best to consult a water block manufacturer for proper details on block availability.

 

come hangout in the water cooling section with "oops i bought the wrong card stories".

^Yeap there's such a thing called reference PCBs and non-reference PCBs

[MegaTechPC]

Lol, was just joking.  I meant it doesn't matter whether the reference cooler is a blower type or not...
