First of all, here are my specs
GPU:- INNO3D RTX 3080Ti X3 OC (further overclocked by msi afterburner)
CPU:- intel core i7 12700F
Motherboard:- ASUS prime B660 plus D4
RAM:- 4 x 16 GB Gskill Tridentz RGB 3600MHz
PSU:- NZXT C850
Chassis:- Deepcool CL500
AIO:- deepcool castle 360 RGB V2, front mounted with pipes up
Now, onto the situation
I'm worried that my radiator being front mounted, would restrict the airflow of my chassis (the CL500 has a grill in front so it can take in quite an amount of air were it not for the radiator), so I'm thinking of buying a set of three fans and putting it on the other side of the aio, for a push pull configuration, the outer fans are already the deepcool CF120, now I'm thinking of getting three more fans for making a push pull configuration (either arctic P12 or deepcool windblade 120),
Will this help with the airflow and temperatures? The air intake is only through these three fans, and this chassis only allows front mounted 360mm radiators.
For exhaust i have the usual, two fans at top and one at rear
Also as a side question, should i take the radiator out and install it upside down? I've read that front mounted with pipes down is next to best position for an aio (top mounted is what I've heard as being the best) and my highest point in the loop is somewhere in the pipes as of now.
Current temperatures aren't unbearable per se but it does run slightly hot (Indian summers are pretty warm and therefore my 3080Ti gives higher temps at that time even on idle), is there something I can do to the GPU too so that it stays cooler (except vertical mounting)?
