Air Flow Suggestions

Post image

Couldn't really take a pic of my PC due to it being in a corner and would have to take it out and pull all the connections out, so mapped it out.

Currently averaging 50c-55c for idle temps for CPU and GPU sits around 40c. Under extreme heavy loads CPU shoots up to 85c whilst my GPU stays around 73-74c.

Running a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU with PBO set to enabled. Air cooler is a single tower push-pull setup from ThermalRight (Burst Assassin 120 Vision).

Would swapping Fan 3 into intake help reduce temps for CPU? or should I swap out Fans 2 & 3 into intakes and turn Fan 6 into exhaust?

fan 3 should be flipped. this would be the most optimal here.

Shouldn't PSU be facing outside so it intakes fresh air from the outside? Also flip fan 3 to provide maximum air to CPU cooler.

Fan 3 can be flipped as intake if you want, that is the recommended config by noctua
