So I have an NXZT Phantom with no additional fans installed. My Sapphire 7970 with dual fans is installed in the slot nearest to the CPU. Would it be a good idea to remount the 200mm top fan to the side panel's mount for better temps? I'm not totally sure if this would lower my temps, probably not.
I was just curious since (this is important) my top 200mm fan is facing my cpu which already is water-cooled and never goes above 53 degrees celsius even during heavy load. If I mount it on my side panel, it'll be facing the gpu and the cpu directly. Would this be a good idea or... not?
Oh yeah my system just in case...
• Case: NZXT Phantom White w/ Red Trim (Full Tower)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
• CPU Cooler: Asetek 550LC
• GPU: Sapphire Dual-fanned 7970 (950/1425)
• Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
• PSU: CORSAIR TX750
• RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4 x 4GB) 1866
