Good airflow with 3 fans ?

[FilipePT]

My case only has support for 3 fans, I already have a front intake and the outake ago.

Now I'm thinking of doing a side intake, you guys recommend? will have a good airflow having two fans to do intake and just behind the exhaust do?

the fan side is pointed directly at the gpu, and I can by a 120mm or 140mm which advise me?

I'd change the layout to front intake, rear intake, and side exhaust. That way you get overall positive pressure while removing all the heat from the GPU.

intake ago? this does not sound too good, alway recommend to do exhaust me from behind or above

Is it too loud or too hot? Does the temps make you uncomfortable?

If the answer is no, then there is no need to add any extra fans. Even if the answer is yes, adding more case fans makes little difference compared to having a better heatsink.

temps are normal, 66 load in gpu, cpu temp 44 max. but I still want to improve

Are those leads powering a drive near the GPU?

You will get significant improvements if move all obstructions from the top front intake.

As Deders pointed out, some cable management will help with the air flow. I would also change the flow as Liquid_Static mentioned, it would bring your vrm temps down along with the cpu and I would bet your gpu would drop also.

It's a nice, clean rig in a nice case -- maybe needing a little extra cable management approached with a handful of "zip" wire-ties.

Maybe I should worry about pushing the limits of crowing about an air-cooled system I "know of." Technically, I have a total of four fans. The system is profoundly quiet, and I just noticed today again how muffled is the sound of my AP-30 when it spins up at boot-time before settling into my "fan-curve" configuration. And I think I can probably kick two fans and still get the same cooling results -- if I want to do the work.

Howsoever it shakes out with this or that case, you are best to pursue a strategy that manages the "same" flow of air through several "thermal hot-spots" in the system. Barring that -- the CPU. Keep the internal case ambient temperature down; suck all the air through the CPU cooler and out the back or top as efficiently as possible.
