why are your bottom fans set as exhaust?

#

They're pretty much exactly fighting against the flow through GPU design

I think they are I take

#

But I might have read the diagram wrong

#

I’ll check lol

P sure those are set as exhaust

#

Airflow goes in on the side of the sticker, goes out on the side with the arms

The gpu fans/rad is gonna be working so much harder if you don't change those bottoms to intake,

Honestly as long as they aren't on they are just useless

#

But yeah flip em before powering them

#

I think, idk I'm terrible at putting fans in the right way first try

#

yup they were mounted as exhaust, thanks for the heads up yall

#

strangely enough the temperatures didn't vary too much when i flipped them

#

with both as intake on PWM performance profile, i maxed out at 76C, with auto GPU fan control (maxed out at 52% fan)

#

both as exhaust on PWM profile, i maxed out at 78C with auto GPU fan control (maxed out at 54% fan)

#

so definitely better
