Hi,
Am looking for advice on the best way to set up my case fans for the best cooling. I'm thinking of doing a bit of modest overclocking too with CPU & GPU if possible. Currently I have the fans set up as below showing direction of intake and exhaust:-
Front:- 2 x Noctua P14s and 1 x Arctic P12 (cant fit a third 140mm at front)
Bottom case fans:- 2 x Arctic P12
Rear Exhaust:- Lian Li stock case fan 1300rpm
The CPU AIO at top on exhaust is an Arctic Freezer II 240mm
Case is a Lian-Li Lancool 2, but with the front panel kit from the Lancool 2 Mesh

My CPU cooling seems fine as running Cinebench, according to HWInfo64, the CPU does not seem to be going over 45C, when running both the single and multi core benchmarks

However, its the GPU im looking to reduce temperature under stress as at times when benchmarking or in games like AC Valhalla and Cyberpunk the temps seem to be getting very high, which i'm guessing may hinder any potential GPU overclocking.

Does anyone have any tips to reconfigure case setup to get more cool air into the GPU. Does the 2 fan setup under GPU hinder rather than help?
There is also my boot ssd which is situated on the motherboard between GPU and the bottom fans, but that is behind a heatsink and surely cant be having that much impact.
