So. I own two NZXT Kraken x41 units, one at the front for intake and pull, another at the back for exhaust, plus two 200mm fans on top (NZXT Phantom 630). The GPU uses an intake radiator and stays cool even under load. However, the CPU gets quite hot when hot air from the front radiator enters the case. I have a suggestion and would like advice. I was thinking to switch the exhaust radiator to be push-pull as well, but also as an intake. So I’d have two radiators for intake and pull, plus two 200mm exhausts on top. What do you think? Is this setup feasible?

Pichulec shared their setup details and concerns about cooling efficiency. They have two NZXT Kraken x41 units, with one front-mounted for intake and another at the back for exhaust. There are also two 200mm fans on top of the case. The GPU uses an intake radiator that stays cool under load. However, the CPU becomes very hot when air is drawn in through the front radiator into the case. Pichulec is considering switching the exhaust radiator to a push-pull configuration and possibly adding an intake radiator as well. They are seeking advice on whether this arrangement could function effectively.

rear rad equals cpu rad, while front rad equals gpu rad.
