Is this bad air pressure?

Alright, so this most likely is bad air pressure but I am wondering what the best way to fix it is. Flipping the fans would flip the lights as well so that would be somewhat ineffective.

 

In intense load situations its possible to feel warm air coming out through one of the intake fans. What are my options and what should I do?

Uhm... How fans are set right now? You have top and rear exhaust. Has rad 3 fans total? Two push-intake and one pushing air back to rad? That one fan is only hurting the overall airflow.

you should probably remove the fan that's pushing air back into the rad

removing or just don't let him run and keep it for lighting

The rad fans and the fan on the rad are all pulling air from outside, as well as the side and top one. They are all intake fans.

Dude what fans are those?

 

Back to the topic, top and rear fans should be always be set as exhaust fans. Bottom, front or side ones should be set as intake

You can try out 3 intakes and 1 exhaust, just to have the pressure positive. Having top and back as an exhaust would be better, but you'll end up with slightly negative pressure, which might lead to more dust in the system. I personally have a slightly negative pressure in my system (3 intakes and 3 exhausts) and dust is not a concern, if the intakes have dust filters.

...What..

This is what I see...

 

If your bottom white LED fan is doing just that...fighting AGAINST the fan that's in front of the radiator, then that is a dumb move JUST for the LED lighting...

You are hurting performance and airflow that way.
