[SOLVED] Does AIO Help to cool GPU as well?

If I use a 240mm AIO on the top of chasis with 2×120mm Fans in exhaust configuration with both radiator and fans inside the cabinet, will It help in dissipating the heat from GPU, If I have a mesh on top of my cabinet?
 
Solution
Fans will be installed only in exhaust config on the radiator, Can they suck the hot air from GPU?[


Fans will only be in exhaust config, and do you think doing that would exhaust the hot air so that my mobo's VRM doesn't get hot due to heat from GPU?

In the first reply I did I was talking about AIO fans on exhaust configuration. English is not my natural language so sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Let me put it this way:

Is not the same having a fan blowing air out through the case mesh panel ("ideal" situation), than having a fan blowing air through a Radiator + Case Mesh Panel (too many things is the path of the blowed air). Thats why I wrote it may help a tiny bit. The fact that the CPU is cooled by a radiator is what...
It may help a tinny bit, but keep in mind those fans will be blowing/pushing the air through the radiator (its a blocked situation), and will be "far away" from the GPU.

Your best bet is having a rear case fan (120mm~ 140mm the one your case can handle) to exhaust the hot air form the GPU outside.

Thats why I wrote it may help a tiny bit. The fact that the CPU is cooled by a radiator is what should help to bring the VRM temps down, not the AIO fans.

Just be clear, if you install the radiator at the top with both fans as exahust + 1 rear case fan as exahust too then that should bring down the VRM temps, and actually it should bring down the whole internal case temps.

But I would not skip the part of having a rear case fan installed.

Bascially something like this: https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/negative.png


One final note: I don't know why are you worry about VRM temps, but it will really help if you list your full system specs, with brand and model of every part. That way everyone in the forum can look that no part/component is been stressed too much.

Cheers

Ok Here's my build for your reference :

CPU : AMD Ryen 7 3700x
RAM : Adata XPG D60 16GB RAM (8×2)
GPU : Galax RTX 2070 Super 1 Click OC
Mobo : Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite
Cabinet : Antec NX800
PSU : Cosrair CX650
CPU Cooler : Antec Neptune ARGB 240mm AIO

Actually I'll be running r7 3700x at stock speeds out of the box but still I doubt If the VRM of my mobo will be able to handle it, hence I am relying on my case's airflow for cooling my temps specifically the VRM region.
My Case's airflow scenario would be exactly the same as what it was in the pic you showed except mine would have 2×200mm Fans at the front as intake with the mesh.
