I'm deep in the planning process for a new build (and generally a whole new room), and I need some ideas on the GPU cooling it offers. Would I be able to remove the fans for the GPU compartment and still have it run fairly frosty under load, or should I keep them? I'd have fairly high ambients probably (25C at the very least), so keep that in mind.

 

 This is the build (as of now):
