stock gpu cooling fan

[alsar88]

hello, i bought something off ebay which can be used to attach a fan to a PCIe slot bracket which can hold 120mm fans (one linked is just an example)

im wondering if adding a fan will effect the temps significantly ? it will be blowing air into the card since its a rear exhaust type card (asus gtx titan)
Thanks in advance

Well it would certainly assist with a passive cooling card, but for the majority of us I think you'll find that more INTAKE fans would be useful rather than fans internally pushing air around.

If you've already bought it though I'd run some benchmarks and see. Some cases will benefit much more than others, especially if you mount it in a good location. Could help lose some hotspots on the motherboard as well?

i have a corsair 650d, with a front 220mm fan and two 140mm fan at the top, so i was thinking of getting a corsair 2 pack 120mm fans to put one as an exhaust and the other on the gpu.

I would avoid having more exhaust fans than intake. It'll cause negative pressure, which usually draws all kinds of dust into the little cracks your PC case has.
