I built it quickly when I was pressed for time, so I just threw everything together and got it running. I considered giving it a thorough clean and thought about rearranging the fans. Right now I have three fans: two pulling air in at the front, one in the top, and one pushing air out at the back. The PSU draws in from the bottom and pushes out through the rear. The GPU connects via an EVGA 1080 SC to a 1080p 144Hz monitor. It usually gets around 55°C during light use. The GPU sits about 2-3cm above the PSU case. I was thinking moving the two front fans to the right and relocating the bottom fan from the CPU cooler to the top. This would free up space under the GPU, giving it more room for cooler air and possibly lowering its temperature. Would this really make a difference, or should I just keep things as they are? Thanks.
I didn’t do it since the shroud around the IO prevents me from placing a fan near the back, and the Ram block is in front. It seems the rear case fan could serve as the second fan on the cooler. I’ll need to redo the cooler mounting and back plate. Thanks for the advice.
