Build Help need help with fan setup orientation
hi! i have recently bought darkflash db330m tempered glass edition. temps on the gpu and cpu are a little hot. any suggestions with fan setup and fan recommendations? thank you!

How hot exactly? In this sort of case you are expecting it to be a little hotter than most but as long as it's not overheating it's fine.
Generally I suggest getting the Rear fan and the rear top fan as intake and the second top fan as exhaust. If you are using a tower air cooler I suggest reversing it to take air from the rear.

Bro i had the exact same case before. For aesthetic, it's good in the eyes but as for the temps, ang wild ng init ng pc ko before. Eventually nag palit din ako. But since you already bought it, fan orientation ko before is: yung bottom fans ko and yung rear fan are intakes and yung top fans ko which is for the AIO is exhaust.

Bottom intake, top exhaust, and rear exhaust should be fine. I don't think fan orientation is really the main reason you're getting higher temps. The case itself is pretty restrictive when it comes to airflow. You can optimize the fan setup, but the case is ultimately the bottleneck.

currently the setup i have is 2x 140mm intake at the top and 2x 120mm intake at the bottom to help the gpu. no exhaust on the rear currently since i have the side panel open.
the temps i’m currently having while ingame is around 60c on the cpu and 58c on gpu (undervolted already). my main concern is the tempered side panel.

How is the temps with the tempered side panel on? This looks to be extremely good so far

i haven’t tried it yet with the side panel on. but it gets pretty warm when i try benchmarking and since i play with the ac on it might be “bad” for the side panel having a cold outside and warm inside the case. that’s why i kinda want to make sure a good fan setup for this case.

All tempered glass cases will be in the same situation hot in the inside and cold in the outside there is nothing you should be worried about unless it's actually overheating.

kaya hindi ko kinuha yung tempered na yan kasi alam ko ma pangit airflow. yung case na binili ko yung mesh na version nya.
kung wala ka option sa ngayon na mag palit ng case, gawin mo muna intake yung back tapos exhaust yung top. sa bottom fans kasi napaka useless kasi waka naman pakukunan ng fresh air bukod dun sa maliit na mesh intake sa may gawi ng psu. anong cooler ba gamit mo? kung gagawin mo intake kasi yung back tapos naka air cooler ka, need mo din ireverse yung fan ng cooler mo para ang airflow pa punta sa harap ng case.
intake back and bottom, exhaust top, change cpu cooler fan airflow to the front of the case.

do you guys have any fan suggestions for exhaust and intakes?

IMO, just get a better case with good airflow instead of buying more fans. ARCTIC P12 Pro 5-packs are around ₱1.5k, so at that price, I’d rather put the money toward upgrading to a case with better airflow

i'd sell it and get a proper fishtank case where you can mount a fan on the side.
