[SOLVED] Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh Fan set up

[ScientistX]

Hey Everyone, This post is regarding airflow. I know it's been discussed multiple times but I couldn't find something specific to my question. Hence, asking here. So the gif I have attached is what my system is set up as right now. I had the 2x140 mm on top as exhaust earlier but I felt maybe the air is getting sucked upwards before it reaches the CPU cooler. Do you guys think this works better? or should I switch back to how it was? The temps have reduced slightly but within the margin of error so I am not sure.

What you've done now is create an airflow loop with the 2 top fans - throwing exhaust right back into the cpu cooler.

But the air from the top intake is instantly taken in by the CPU cooler FAN, there's literally not enough space there to create a loop.

You have an exhaust fan right above the cooler.
When they're that close to one another like that, you can create a loop.
