Hello my sweet princes! My Ncase is currently on it's way to a country superior to yours (Canada, of course). In the meantime, I'm planning the build... So, here are my questions.
1.Does an open-air GPU manage to keep reasonable temperature?
2. a) If I add two 120mm fans to the bottom of the case, should I use slim fans in order to keep a 1.5-2 cm gap between said fans and said GPU? Or should I use regular sized fans?
I noticed that non-slim fans practically (or almost) touch the shroud of a 2 slot GPU.
b) Does the proximity of a regular-sized fan to the shroud create noise due to turbulence? Or any other issues?
When you answer, please keep the following restrictions and airflow setup in mind.
Restrictions
-I will not use an AIO... Paranoid.
-I will not mod a 1000$+ GPU with an accelero cooler or the like and void the warranty.
Airflow setup:
BeQuiet Darkrock TF
+
1x 120 mm intake fan to the right-hand side of the side bracket
+
Corsair SF600 platinum with the fan directed inside the case (directly behind the 120mm fan mentioned above)
Thank you for the insights my loves.
