Remove top intake and you are fine.

Hello everyone!

 

I've attached a photo with how I have my fans currently set up. I have 2 Corsair SP 120m as intake in the front, 1 Corsair AF 120m as my exhaust, and I have 2 stock 200m in the top as exhaust/intake (Red Arrows for reference on how they are set up. I was wondering if how I have it set up is optimal or if I could rid myself of maybe the 200m and move the SP 120s to the top instead of the front, etc. If you have questions on temps etc I'll get them for you I was just wondering if I should downsize my fans or move them. Also I'm upgrading my CPU soon and I'm out of thermal paste, Recommendations?

Is your CPU cooler pushing air towards the back of the caee or the front?

 

The only thing I would be worried about is dead air space around the GPU. You can fix it by moving your top fan to pull air out, or set the other to push air in. If you posh more air in, the CPU temps could suffer.

It's pushing air towards the back exhaust fan, pulling it through the heatsink. I could have them both exhaust that might work.
