Hi everyone, I just put together my build. Temperatures are fine, CPU and GPU are around 40 to 45°C at idle. In-game, the CPU sits at around 60–70°C, and the GPU stays pretty consistently between 65–67°C. I mainly play WoW, btw. but I think they could still be improved a bit.
System components:
- Gigabyte B550 Elite V2
- Ryzen 7 5800X3D
- Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO 2x16GB DDR4
- XFX Radeon RX 6950 XT
- be quiet! Straight Power 11 850W Gold
The blue arrows are intake and the red ones show exhaust direction.
Should I set the rear fan as an intake?

people say airflow is important which it is but most of the time even if you do it wrong youll be fine. Moral of the story youre fine
This is the way I would do
It is good like that.
Looks good. Always make sure you have more air going in than you have going out (positive air pressure)
I think you have to change… the game. Airflow is ok btw, cool rig u have there
Everything is fine
Not bad, but you have more intake
Bingo
Yes. Very good airflow
Change top right to in. Otherwise front top is just going to come straight in and go straight out again.
Edit: just clocked it’s a rad. You need fresh air through those! My bad, just looked at the arrows and assumed air cooler!
No, if you have more intake than exhaust fans then you’ll create a low pressure weather system localized entirely in your PC. This can cause catastrophic damage to components and attract meteorologists.
As long as the case pressure is positive, it looks great.
Yep. That’s good.
Are the fans on the side reverse blade?
If not, 180 them for intake.
looks good to me
A little bit positive is what it is and youre fine.
Perfect
Have a similar setup , but I left just the rear and last 2 top fans as exhaust , rest are intake
Looks good. Could Flip the front most outtake but won’t change much if anything
Yes.
You’re fine. I have that GPU and have about the same temps
I always aim for more outies than innies, because it creates low pressure and less dust.
I’ve never seen proof of someone measuring it. But from my humble experience I never had dust in my cases.
Flipping the rightmost top-fan as intake will remove the “short circuit” of intake air immediately being exhausted and provide some airflow for your RAM and VRMs.
You’re fine, this is exactly how I have mine. My RX 7900XT stays proper chill at 60°C under load with it.
I shared a similar photo before, and someone yelled at me about the front top fan blowing out cool air before it could get to the CPU, so I turned that fan off (but kept the RGB lights on). To this day, the fan still doesn’t spin, and I wonder if it actually ever mattered.
wheres the power supply or am i too high
Yes you’re good
