Fan In and Out beside eachother?

[Izumi Reina]

So my GPU fans are facing a window and the 200mm fan does have 'super airflow' toward the GPU just the case in general.

Arrows mean direction of airflow

[1]=140mm fan [2]= 200mm fan [3] = CPU FAN

[Fan blowing on GPU]

 

I am wondering if I can have a fan blowing on the GPU and another one blowing out over the GPU for more airflow.

Or if that would just cause turbelence (my grammar, oh god).

The way you have it is perfect.

So, from my understanding you have air blowing on a dispersion cooler, that is then taking that air and forcing it through the graphics card cooler? I can't see a problem, it's probably the best way I can think to set it up. All you have to do then is have enough airflow exiting the case..... Okay that sounded dumb, it's going to exit the case one way or another... Enough exhaust fans to deal with the airflow a 200mm fan provides.

Currently or adding another fan?

Also should I make that fan a exhaust instead?

I would put it as intake. Slow down the intakes by 100RPM or so and increase the exhaust by the same to create a wind tunnel effect.

idk If I explained it too well but basiclly in the middle of the case I have a 200mm fan blowing half of its air into the 'GPU side' and half of the air blowing into the CPU side. A fan ontop of the GPU blowing more air in, while an exhaust for the CPU side. Any extra air will be blown out the top or sides (since for the most part the walls, and roof are hexagonal holes with dust filters.

Sadly I cant running them both off the same splitter

So you want more airflow to the GPU?

[Izumi Reina]

Yeah since it gets much hotter than the CPU. For a short explination the CPU utilization is always around 40% since Im running @ 4k where its all GPU basiclly.

I would increase the GPU's fan speed.

If you can't, I would increase the 200mm fan and slow the exhaust. That should help the GPU get more air.

Ok will do, thanks!

Turbulence is very likely if you have two fans side by side pushing different directions. It will create an air loop. Instead if you want to cool your GPU well think about these things:

 

1) A non-blower style cooler on a graphics board will mostly exhaust its hot air towards the front and towards the side panel. It will mostly draw air from below itself.

2) If you want your GPU to be fed cool air that isn't the one that it just warmed up, give it a clear path to go, in other words, but an exhaust fan in the direction that the air is moving. For instance if your side panel has a hole for a fan, put a fan there in exhaust mode, not intake.

Are we talking about spec in your profile? What temps are you getting on GPU under load?

 

If you need more fresh air to GPU, replace 200mm with 2x140mm or something like that. Or place fan under GPU.
