Hello fellow SFF enthusiasts. Since i love to optimize my PC in terms of cooling i played around with the fan setup of my GPU with the goal to reduce the CPU temps. While gaming my CPU often reached 85 °C + on hot days and the PC wasn’t as silent anymore. Since i‘ve got the V1, i don’t have any good fan mounting options in the case.Inspired by another Reddit posts i swapped the original fans of my 5700XT Red Dragon and installed them in a „pull“ configuration to exhaust the hot air out of the case. Surely the GPU temps did rise, but the temperatures of the CPU and other hardware components significantly dropped 10 °C. The GPU temperature increased by about 5 °C which i didn’t mind, since my GPU never was getting very hot in the first place, since i lowered the gpu power to 160 watts. Overall i am very pleased with the results.Also the case is now not getting hot at all since all hot air is now getting exhausted out of the case I also tried this mod with the stock cooler fans and got similar results. The overall temps in the case were 7 °C lower while the gpu temperatures increased 5°C with 200 rpm higher fan speeds.
