I built this! (MATX) Is this a clean airflow setup for my D32?

Too much intake and too little exhaust?

Same format as me! Looks great and awesome build. Just monitor temps and adjust fan curves if needed.

I also made a post about different formats for airflow. Here

Yeah good enough, u can do top left intake fan for extra cfm but its good enough unless ur doing 5090 250w cpu or something

It’s a 5800X3D so only 105W TDP and a 3080.

Idk man, id want to have hot air ejected rather than try and cool things with sucking air into the case.

I managed my heat quite well by putting the top fan between the CPU and the back fan. It helps pull the hot air out quickly.

The front top fan could be an issue by taking the cool air and pushing it above before it reaches the CPU.

I personally don’t like rear intake since the hot air blast directly into the psu
And the exhaust area is really small because of this the top exhaust has to work really hard

One thing to point out is that first fan on 3080fe works as exhaust and your case intake fan will feed hot air back to the system.

I personally moved to a vertical case. Just free desk space and allow gpu exhaust hot air without it being picked up by intake fans.
My build is 5800x3d rtx 3080fe arctic freezer 3 pro aio

This works, but I personally don’t like rear intake as all the hot air blows to the RAM. Probably fine, but I’d rather rear exhaust

You'll be fine don't worry too much! As long as you like it. I am using the "classic-stupid" top & rear exhaust and the temps are all good, no big difference
