Case fan intake or exhaust next to GPU? pics included

Hi, Can anyone advice how 2 extra fans should be place in the fractal design node 202?
Currently the fans intake.




After installing the gpu, it will look like this:

Fans facing each spinning at different speeds is not effecient right?

I suggest removing the case fans.

intake, for optimum temperatures. i suggest proper dust management, else your GPU will get clogged up with dust very quickly.

The Node 202 has a dust filter for the gpu intake I think.

Ok thanks.

I read in review for the case, installing those 2 extra fan was meant to aid cooling for gpu install.
Will have to do some stress test with fan and without fan to see temperature difference.

another benefit of installing intake fans is to have a positive air pressure within the casing, less dust creeping in from other gaps.

just did some test running unigine for intake.
with fan: 60c
without fan: 67c

cpu temp and hdd temps did not have any noticeable difference.

Must understand more fans more dust.

Will it be a lot worse ? I got these 2 spare fans don't want to waste. They do generate more noise though.
