I can’t see the most important ones, which are on the front rad. They should be blowing air into the radiator and case tho. That top intake is, uh, fine I guess. And the rear exhaust is correct.

#

the front ones blow air inside, the back one blows air outside and the top one blows air outside too

#

Oh ok sounds good. I didn’t realize the top fan was exhaust. It might help a little bit, and you can put another up there if you find your GPU temps too high

#

If you have the ability to put fans as intake under your GPU that’s huge too

my gpu is always at 80 degrees when playing games, when watching youtube or something its liek 55 degrees. my psu is below the gpu and i don't know if I should get another fan to add to the top

#

my case is Corsair iCUE 465X RGB

#

What size is that radiator and what cpu do you have

manic drift May 9, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

i9-12900kf, rear and front fans are 120 and top one is 140

#

Your AIO is 360?

manic drift May 9, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

yeah

spark gust May 9, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

And your CPU has good temps with it rn

manic drift May 9, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

uh lemme check

You’ll have to see during gaming what it gets up to

#

imma get gta up one sec

#

I can see you might be able to put a fan under the GPU, that will help your GPU temps, but there is not much room for the fan to intake, so it would be marginal

#

I would also get another 140 fan for exhaust up top

#

That is the best you can do without getting a new case

manic drift May 9, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

another 140 up top won't fit with my motherboard

#

Your front mount radiator is great for CPU temps, but it makes your case hot.

#

If you top mount it, your cpu temps will be a bit higher, but your GPU cooler

#

Unfortunately you can only top mount 240 in Your case

#

But anyways that’s what I can recommend, try adding the fans first

#

If you can fit a 30 mm thick fan under the GPU that would be great. Something with high pressure

i am planning to get a new pc to use as a server, and id be using this case:
https://www.alternate.be/Corsair/FRAME-4000D-RS-midi-tower-behuizing/html/product/100113143

would it be better for air flow to move my gaming pc to that case and build the server in that other one?

It is much better than the case you have now

#

You can top mount the radiator which will help your GPU

#

Just make sure you have enough margin. If CPU is already getting too hot with front mount AIO, then top mount will make things worse

This is from playing gta just driving around a couple min

#

It looks pretty good, though I don’t know much about intel cpu so I can’t help much there. But I hope you understand the general cooling concepts now I think you can come to a good solution

#

Good luck
