You'll most likely get better temps if you change the exhaust fan to an intake fan

Moving the CPU fan to the other side of the heatsink would also help a tiny bit

[bronze vapor]

More than a tiny bit. Currently the cpu fan is also backways so it's fighting case airflow & that exhaust fan 2" away.

[cunning brook]

Yeah you should get on that then

[gentle granite]

can you elaborate on what you mean

How do I know which fans are in take and exhaust?

I didn’t build the main pc I just replaced my old PSU and GPU today

The back at the back is exhaust

Move that to the front

[gentle granite]

so the front should be exhaust

[cunning brook]

The front should be intake

[gentle granite]

i do have a roof one

[cunning brook]

We'll deal with that later

[gentle granite]

so should I put the cpu fan the other way round

like

other side

of heatsink

[cunning brook]

Yeah

Dis

[gentle granite]

Wait so no fan at the back

Is what u mean

[cunning brook]

Yes

[gentle granite]

ok

should I invest in new fans or not

[cunning brook]

prob not considering you have like a 2060 and a low power CPU

Also what PSU did you buy

If you say thermaltake smart I'll be very disappointed

[gentle granite]

my cpu is an i7-9700k

[cunning brook]

Oh it's very toasty then

[gentle granite]

I’m on a budget rly

want all my specs or not

[cunning brook]

no

[gentle granite]

ok so

my psu is cv550 it’s all I could afford but it’s better than my old one

[cunning brook]

[gentle granite]

apart from that

so what ur saying is

will both front fans be intake

[cunning brook]

Yes

Also return that power supply

[gentle granite]

y

[cunning brook]

Any CV below 650w is ass

[gentle granite]

it’s only temporary anyway

so what about my top fan

will that be exhaust?

[cunning brook]

If you want

I would remove it

[gentle granite]

why so

[cunning brook]

Most high airflow cases don't benefit from exhaust fans

[gentle granite]

is my case got good airflow?

[cunning brook]

What is it

Nova Mesh?

[gentle granite]

let me check hold up

I won’t lie I did see my gpu at a high temperature

I think it maxed at like 75c

[cunning brook]

yeah nvm the case sucks

What's the point in having a fan filter when the airflow is tiny

keep the exhaust ig

[gentle granite]

do I move the headsink fan tho

[cunning brook]

I would

I highly suggest you return your PSU and buy this one

It's the same price as your CV

[gentle granite]

I’m not too sure what my roof one ks

[cunning brook]

Send a picture

[gentle granite]

it’s an intake

[cunning brook]

Then swap it around

Should be exhaust

[gentle granite]

ok

so 2 exhaust 1 intake?

[cunning brook]

2 intake 1 exhaust

[gentle granite]

which one should be intake

The rear one?

[cunning brook]

The 2 front fans should be intake

[gentle granite]

so remove a rear fan completely?

[cunning brook]

Yes

[gentle granite]

and put that as intake at the front

ok

is it like a 10 minute job

Flipping the fans round

[cunning brook]

No

You unscrew and screw 8 screws in total

Assuming you actually put in 4

[gentle granite]

alright thanks
