Case airflow

[kevince]

Hi all,

Sorry, noob here.
For my rig setup in pic below, is the air flow alright? Should I switch the fans for the aio cooler to pull (exhaust) instead? Or swap the 200m SP fan intake for 2 x 140mm AF fans?

Can you post your idle & load temperature here?

Will do so once I get home from work later.
As a rough gauge, CPU was hovering around 35-40deg while idling and 70-75deg while gaming.
GPU running MSI afterburner default profile idling at 40deg and around 80deg while gaming (Skyforge max settings) @ 1440p.

Not sure if 80deg is ok for asus gtx 980ti strix, seems a little high

Think shld change ur radiator fan to out.

Cpu temp is normal
Gpu will start to thermal throttle at 80c

I will probably try changing radiator fans to exhaust. As for GPU temps, how should I try to improve it?

Possible to remove PSU cover and install a bottom fan intake? Possible downsides: ugly cabling shown, PSU shown (maybe clashing with overall theme).

Generally, bottom and front for intake, top and back for exhaust.

Like you said, it will be ugly. I am saving that for last resort, and hopefully it will not come to it.

As all the fans currently installed are SP fans, is it a good idea to change the bottom front intake and rear exhaust to AF fans instead?
