ok just sitting here and was thinking i might do a change up to my cooling in my system(see sig). As of now i have my side 120 mm intake pulling fresh air onto my Phantek CPU cooler which has a downward(toward mobo) airflow with both fans running. I was thinking it has to be moving the already heated air across my VRM's and mosfets but what if i flipped all three fans around? {cpu fans 2 and side case fan} instead of taking air from the outside toward the mobo i pulled air from the mobo to the outside? does anyone think i might see a difference in temps? cpu or case?
Im just thinking that if i can get rid of the warm air faster i might see a better in case temp which might translate to a better die temp and also my GPU might do a little better.
