um, was that cpu cooler intentionally placed like that?
Yes. Other wise it would block the ram
balmy belfry
Yes. Other wise it would block the ram
You mean the rgb on the ram?
cunning creek
That too
balmy belfry
That too
If you don't care about the rgb, then you can just move the fan slightly up
Those clips are designed to allow a little wiggle room

The fan works perfectly fine.

The fan works perfectly fine.
That's not the problem
cunning creek
I don't see a point
cunning creek
That's not the problem
Then what is?
balmy belfry
Right now your CPU cooler fans are sucking up hot air exhausted from your GPU
They aren't drawing in fresh air from the front of your case

It isn't. The gpu coolers are looking down. Aswell I checked bios and its 27C⁰

The fans on the GPU suck air in, they don't blow it out

You won't notice a difference until the GPU is underload

yeah theres nothing necessarily wrong with it but ideally youd flip it around
id recommend it flipped
just move the fan clip up a bit to make room for ram
balmy belfry
Or move one of the fans on the back to have pull + pull
Worse than push + pull, but small difference and you still get to see your rgb ram

Aight

it isnt
it is in fact sucking the backplate
and getting 0 air
sweet ocean
?
balmy belfry
it will give you a better understanding of how internal exhaust coolers work on a gpu
balmy belfry
and getting 0 air
this is also true, to an extent, but any/most of the air passing through that heatsink will be preheated air from the GPU (when its underload)

yea
the little bit of air it does manage to get
balmy belfry
also exhaust
balmy belfry
but most of the fan area is still sucking the backplate
any negative pressure in that little gap will just be filled with hot air
cunning creek
just do this
It still doesn't have room. That's where the usbs of the motherboard are
Why don't I just flip it upside down
sweet ocean
Just move the fan up?
