hello guys,
i have corsair 1000d case
i have a question about the fan configuration.

the first 8 fans at front are blowing air to outside of case
other 2 fans of back at the case are blowing air inside the case
liquid cooler at top is blowing air out of the case
is this setup correct? i have rtx 3080 suprim x card at silent bios, and it goes to 79-80C at back 4 blood, divison2 and other gpu based games.

That sounds like a terrible negative pressure inside the case. The 8 front fans should be intake fans, if the other 4 fans are all you have, make sure they are exhaust fans.

Are you sure you have them oriented correctly? I'm unsure as to why you would even try your current configuration, or I'm misunderstanding completely and pictures would help.. :)

Kinda wrong way around according to common wisdom. Front ones should blow air in, back and top out. Ideally it should place GPU somewhere in the middle of air stream with some positive pressure around it.
Liquid cooler radiator fans also come into equation but with about 75% of airflow case fans would have.

It looks like all the front fans are going the wrong way. All the fans are blowing out.

Edit stick a small piece of paper by the front fan and see it it pulls it toward the fan or blows it back into the case

All the fans are blowing out !!!! Unless those are some special fans, all standard fans blow from side their motors are mounted on.
With case opened, you should be able to feel direction they are blowing to.
Front ones should ne turned around so they are intake, blowing into case.

I wouldn't deal with them any more they are completely wrong. Whole idea of case cooling is to get as much air circulating thru the case as possible. For exhaust fans to work most efficiently, they have to receive at least as much air as rhey are supposed to expel or they are just turning (and making nise) for nothing.
That setup wouldn't be too detrimental for CPU cooling but it's creating low pressure in the case and now GPU has to compete for whatever air is left for it in the case and GPU are usually hottest component.
My final advice is to get them turned around so the serve as intake. It's better to have positive air pressure inside the case than negative. That also makes less dust collect inside.
