All fans are Lian-Li Uni SL120 1900rpm fans except for the rear fan which is a stock Fractal case fan.

The fans are not pushing against each other, the ones at the front of the case are pulling air in through the front of the case which means pushing it through the radiator, then the ones on the back of the radiator are pulling the air through the radiator.

The air being pulled over the radiator and pushed in to the case does mean the temps are slightly around 1c or 2c higher than if the radiator was not there, since the majority of the heat is removed from the water by the top radiator.

The loop is basically:

Pump/Res to CPU

CPU to Top Rad

Top Rad to Front Rad

Front Rad to Pump/Res

Until the shed is built which will be a while, since it's going to cost between £5k and £10k for it, then I am looking at possibly changing the case or looking at a shroud under the GPU like what Major Hardware did on YouTube in his latest video, since really I don't need the sound card, which will allow me to put a fan in the shroud and then pull air directly to the GPU from the back of the case.

The thing is the 5950x and 3080Ti run hot anyway.

The CPU will overclock itself until it reaches a temp limit set in the bios which you can adjust, so I have it set to 75c but normally that would be 80c to 90c.

The GPU can pull anything up to 500w of power which produces a lot of heat, and that is dumped in to the case.

One of the problems with cases these days is that they are built for looks and not performance compared to years ago, where I could get a case with a side panel that would allow for fans to be installed on the side panel etc.
