Just completed my first build in the above case. Tried to have my GPU (Asus Strix RX 580) vertically mounted, but unfortunately due to how thick the card is, it is running at pretty high temps (75+ celcius while playing Witcher 3 on ultra). If I take the side tempered glass off, the temps drop 10-15 degrees within 1 minute.
I have two questions, first - is it possible to improve temps while having my GPU vertically mounted, or do I pretty much just have to mount it directly to motherboard?
Second questions is regarding the airflow in case in general. As you can see from the pictures, my case currently has the following fans installed: Two Front Riing 140 (intake) one rear Riing 140 (exhaust), and PSU Riing (which is probably not relevant to case airflow much at all).
I just purchased a set of 3 Riing Plus Premium 120, which I intend to put as my front intake fans, which will give me two extra Riing 140 (which are currently installed in the front) to spare. I am planing to mount them at the bottom, as my case diagram suggests that I should be able to mount two 140 fans there with no problem. My understanding is that I should run both bottom fans as intake fans to create positive pressure (1 exhaust, 3x120 and 2x140 intake). Ultimately, I am also planning to purchase the 2017 edition of 360 Thermaltake Water 3.0 RGB CPU Cooler and have it mounted at the top.
Or do you think I should try mounting the two 140 fans from the front to the top near my current exhaust fan in exhaust position to create negative pressure to get rid of some of the got air pockets(all fans port in my case are covered with dust filters)?
I am attaching my case diagram so that you can give me better suggestions regarding placement of additional fans.
I would very much appreciate any help/suggestions regarding maximizing the airflow in my case.
Thanks!
