3 Easy Tips To Lower GPU Temps!



Should I put fans under my GPU?

To prioritize the GPU cooling, you'd place the CPU AIO on top of the case as an exhaust. This will make the CPU slightly warmer, but your GPU will stay cooler. With a traditional tower air cooler, you'd optimally want the fan located on the cooler's heatsink pushing air towards the rear exhaust of the case.
