also is it true that exhaust fans with an air cooler will actually make your temps worse

steel stream
#

I haven't heard that

proven saddle
random flame
#

And even then, it takes quite the amount of ambient heat in the case forced through the same air cooler and out somehow in order to make that happen. Because of that, your temps being worse on the cpu from using an exhaust setup is either unlikely or exaggerated.

#

You'd have to purposefully do stuff in the case and with the components, as well as using a less than adequate cooler in order to make that even a thing that in most cases isn't really that possible because there isn't one designed so horribly or just... Traps all the heat with only way out.

#

Yo can anyone help me

shell void
#

way over complicating it

#

just dont run your top fans as full exhaust if youre using a cpu air cooler

pure garnet
#

just look at where the air goes and make it go where you want

dawn plover

random flame
# shell void way over complicating it

That is the point though that I'm making. In most cases, it's fine as long as the rest of the airflow setup makes sense or at the very least exists in the system. I'm basically saying you'd need to complicate things intentionally to get actually worse results. Otherwise, you temps will normally be fine doing cpu-fan exhaust.

Oh no, I know how it works. I'm thinking for this one particular setup of something that niche might make something like this work if turbulence is an issue. It's just a pointless thing to do in general logically though, so really just for the hell of it.
