Should I put case fans under my GPU?

If your case allows it, install fans pushing air upwards towards your GPU on the bottom. This will give cool air directly to the intake fans on the GPU itself. If your case doesn’t allow that configuration, have a front intake fan coupled with proper top or rear exhaust fans, as described previously.

Should I put a fan at the bottom of my case?

Do not mount exhaust fans on the bottom of the case; since hot air rises, a bottom-firing exhaust fan will be working against physics by expelling slightly cooler air instead of warmer air. The Intake-exhaust direction should go front-to-back and bottom-to-top.

Will more fans cool GPU?

If you want better cooling, the key is to get more air INTO your case. Whatever comes in the front will exit SOMEWHERE, taking component heat with it. Your front fan runs at 1200 rpm. You can replace it with a higher rpm fan to generate more airflow.

Should top case fans be intake or exhaust?

Generally, you want the case fans in front of the case drawing in air while the fans at the rear blow air out. If your case has vents at the top, they should be placed as exhaust fans because hot air will rise. Side-mounted fans should be used for intake, though they often don’t have air filters.

Do GPU fans push or pull air?

GPU fans usually pull air into the card. Case fans depending on the orientation pull air into the case or push out of the case.

Is 1000 rpm good for case fan?

The higher the RPM, the more noisier it is. It’s also better for a cool build. A 1000rpm fan is a bit low, as most standard case fans are anywhere from 1400-1600rpm, and you’d use a 1000rpm fan for a non-intensive work or leisure computer.

Do GPU fans push or pull?

Does the GPU fan blow hot air out of the case?

Click to expand… No, the fans on the GPU blow the hot air down, away from the fins/chip. Then, the little fan I added exhaust that hot air out of the case, instead of re-circulating into the case. Edit- Derf- as seen below by the nice gentleman, I said this wrong. The GPU fans suck cool air in through the fins.

Why are my CPU and GPU fans mounted at the bottom?

If you have fans mounted at bottom or in front then they generally should be acting as intake to bring cool air into the case. Which your CPU and GPU fans can suck in and then exhaust it back out of the ventilation hole or exhaust fan.

Are the GPU fins supposed to be sucking in cool air?

Correct- yes- they are sucking cool air in, exhausting hot air them through the fins. Clearly, I stated that wrong. The little fan is definitely removing additional hot air, allowing the card to access overall cooler air.

What happens if a fan gets stuck inside a graphics card?

If the fan was an exhaust, you would still get warm air from the card blown down only to be sucked through the card again. I know this because I’ve tried it myself.
