Airflow advice

[XyzWoot]

Hey guys! i got my new GPU which is the Asus Turbo GTX 960 2gb and as you can see it is a blower style fan (Link:https://www.asus.com/ph/Graphics-Cards/TURBOGTX960OC2GD5/) and i was wondering if i can improve its temperature By doing that i would need to fix my airflow. Currently my case right now is an Enermax Ostrog  (Link: http://www.enermax.co.uk/ostrog/) and I have 2 intakes and 3 exhaust (one 120mm radiator at the back). My airflow is that i have an intake from the front of the case, i have also an intake under while the others as an exhaust. Do you guys think this is already great or any suggestions? thanks!

I would say it would probably be a good idea to flip one of those exhaust fans around to keep positive air pressure in your case. Negative air pressure makes dust collect in your case.

ohh i see i might try that gonna hear from other people too but anyway thanks!

As long as your case temps aren't much higher than temp of the room, it doesn't matter (apart from positive pressure for the dust, assuming you have filters on intakes anyway)

You can also clean fans and heatsinks or turn up the fan on your card with precisionX or afterburner or whatever.

You don't need more than rad as exhaust. Add intakes to side vents. That will help both CPU and GPU.

I see anyway i am in the philippines and i can say is that in the afternoon it's really hot here lol anyway the CPU in the afternooon has atleast 62c as max while the GPU is really capped in Precision X as 80 so it stays that way. Do you prefer turning my exhaust fans on top into intake?

Ahh i see i do not want to put intakes on the side for aesthetic things too see my gpu haha so should i turn my exhaust on top into intake?



Actually guys i am really just finding a way on how to lessen the temps of my GPU because of the blower design haha

Turn up ther fan or consider a different kind of cooling... If your dealing with high ambiant temps, your very limited in what you can do with a normal cooler..

 

 

 

This tells you a cheap way to actually get cooler (this works for houses too, kinda.. look into evaporation cooling for cheap cooling applicable to loads of stuff.)

ok thanks! gonna see the video haha anyway i thought of really turning it because due to the Dual Intake design of the GPU so air would go from the top and bottom then to the gpu

Top fans don't have any effect on GPU. Only front, bottom and side do. If you want lower temps, go for better fans or more fans on those slots.

No, it wouldn't be a good idea. It wouldn't help temps and positive airflow only helps keep dust out when all intakes are filtered.

The only thing that helps blower coolers for temps is more fresh air for intake around the graphics card.

What I like to do with my cooling setups is use the front as an intake, and the top as an exhaust. I also use a small 80mm fan in the extra PCI port area to draw in air from outside the case specifically for the GPU and PSU.
