Looking to optimize the airflow of this case.
Current configuration is the following:
-Front 3x Artic PST 120 [Intake]
-Side (AIO) 3x Artic PST 120 [Exhaust] + Arctic Freezer II 360 + 3x Artic PST Slim 120 [Exhaust]
-Rear GPU [Intake] (this is forced so I cannot change it...
I think I'd have better thermals if I swapped the side to also intake air, my GPU (7900XTX) never exceeds 60c, and the CPU (7950X3D) pushes 70-71c in the current configuration. My primary reason for changing stuff around is that it seems the GPU is heating the CPU radiator and unable to remove the heat fast enough.
Admittedly I'm a little concerned with the thermal paste application and possibly the mounting job of the pump to the CPU since it does like to idle around 60-63c.
Any advice appreciated, feel like I should be getting better thermals with the hardware I have.
