Hi,
I've had this build running for around 6 months now & it works absolutely fine (apologies for the slightly misleading title). Temps never about 65c on the CPU and GFX around 70c when pushed.
Specs wise:
I'm running stock speeds, all fans as low as they can go - original idea was silent pc & aesthetics
Now my question is around airflow.
Currently all of the system fans, LL120's (purple blue colour) are all exhaust. The AIO at the top is the intake.
Now I know this goes against all of the rules etc etc - but I just don't like the look of the bottom fans blowing up as intakes (as it shows the frame etc).
Given that temps are all fine & never really have any crashes etc, should I leave it like this when I upgrade to the 3070? Just wondering as it has a higher wattage & different cooler design.
Apologies if this is a self answered question, just wanted to get others thoughts & if others had been in a similar position where they have compromised on the "textbook" airflow rules, for "looks".
I've attached a link to images of the airflow & some pics of the case, on my Instagram account (apologies I couldn't find anywhere else to host them)

Curious to get your thoughts and/or recommendations.
Also - a 650watt Gold PSU is going to be fine for a 3070 right?
