Corsair H100i GTX - Thor V2 Case Cooling

[rowebil]

I asked a question elsewhere regarding my Corsair H100i cooler and which header to plug it into.
Now they got me thinking about cooling changes.

So here is my case with the direction of air.
I'm using the stock rear fan, stock front fan, and stock side fan.
My Corsair H100i is mounted on the top as exhaust.
My PSU is mounted on the bottom with a fan coming from inside the case to the rear.

Is this efficient enough with my case?
I have a Zotac 980ti with fans pointing down towards the PSU.
I don't have much trouble with temps at the GPU.

Not really any other way to do it that would make sense.

Side, front, bottom, should be intake, rear and top as exhaust, which is what you have. (The PSU is in a world of its own in that config)

The GPU fans are blowing up by the way. They intake cool air and push it against the GPU.

I would plug the Corsair into the System Fan 1 header where your heatsink/fan would go. Your control software/BIOS will ramp this up if your CPU runs hot automatically which will maintain the cooling. Your PSU should be pulling air from under the case and exhausting it to the rear instead of letting heat rise up, and most PSUs of quality (gold rated) will not generate heat unless under heavy load. Your GPU is pulling air from under it and blowing it towards the back of your case to exit the vents on your card. Your front and side fan being set to intake is perfect and the tops as exhaust is right. Find the right balance for your case and airflow. One misconception is that setting exhaust higher to dissipate the heat is not usually the best idea. It can overwork the fans because it is having to pull more air (which can come from the cracks and crannies of your case, also pulling in dust. The intakes bringing fresh cool air in should be priority.

I hope this sheds some light on a few things and that I have assisted! Let me know if you have any other questions!
