Would Push Pull Fans On A Front Radiator Help Cool The Inside Of The Inside Components?

[DangerZone4Ever]

As the title state, i was wondering if i do push pull on my front mounted radiator would it help cool other components such as the graphics card in my case? I have a Phanteks P400S case and cannot top mount my radiator, and my radiator is the Kraken X61 so its a 280mm and cant do an exhaust setup... i currently have the two SP fans that came with the case pushing through the rad and am curious if two 140 fans pulling would help.... and if so would you recommend AF or SP fans for pulling? Thanks in Advance!

Well let's think about it for a moment... If you add more fans, does the radiator somehow magically release less heat? No. Adding radiator fans will not improve ambient temps within the case.

As long as you're not pushing a massive high voltage OC on your CPU, that case should provide enough airflow to get the hot air out without your graphics card getting too toasty.

Ok. While gaming if i dont have vsync on, my rx 480 did reach up to 81C. Is this an ok temp or would you adjust the fan curve on the GPU to ramp up higher...

81C is perfectly fine. No need for adjustments.

Although it's not optimal, many reference editions reach 90C all the time and are still perfectly fine (other than being annoyingly loud).
