Question Should I use Tri Frozr with Radiator cooled gpu?

Right now I have 3 exhaust fans (1 case fan on the far left, 2 cpu AIO fans top mounted), and I have 1 case fan that’s intake at the front with 2 fans that are attached to the radiator for my gpu at the front (msi suprim liquid x). I was just wondering if I should always have those fans on so it’s 3 intake 3 exhaust, or if I should allow my gpu to utilize Tri Frozr and not start spinning until the gpu hits ~50 c (making it 1 intake 3 exhaust unless the application is gpu demanding). I had planned on using this system as well for some light video rendering, so I‘m unsure if the cpu temps would suffer if I decided to activate Tri Frozr. Any suggestions/advice?

Might want to include images of your fan setup, alongside the specs to your system and your ambient room air temps.

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
including the number of fans and their orientation.

CPU: 7800x3d
CPU Cooler: NZXT KraKen Elite 280 (top mount)
Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk Wifi x670e
Ram: G-Skill Z 6000 mhz
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro
GPU: MSI Suprim Liquid X 4090
PSU: Evga 1000 Watt 80+ gold supernova
Chassis: NZXT H7 Flow

Ambient Temps: 71* F
CPU Temps during Cinebench multi core (80-83 C)
GPU temps during Valley benchmark 4K, 8x AA (45-50 C)

Unfortunately I can’t upload a pic of the setup but it looks somewhat like this: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https://i.redd.it/my-nzxt-h7-flow-build-v0-0kkscd1aw2491.jpg?s=ca90b41462b497743b4111fcde3168424e86a3f1

The far left fan is exhaust, and the top aio fans are also exhaust. The very bottom fan on the front is a case fan that always runs, but the top 2 front fans are attached to the radiator on the gpu, and can be turned off with Tri Frozr. (All 3 front fans are intake btw)

This makes it
3x Exhaust, 3x Intake with Tri Frozr disabled
3x Exhaust, 1x Intake with Tri Frozr enabled (until an application/game becomes gpu demanding)

I was just wondering if I should turn Tri Frozr on/off for those two front fans, and if dust/temps are a concern if I let the system be primarily negative pressure until I get into a game that is gpu demanding.
