For the past year or so I have used a kraken g10 with a 240mm rad aio on my gpu.

The temps have been great but the air that exhausts from the rad is uncomfortably hot. So much so I have had to put the fans as exhausts.

I have just upgraded to a alphacool eiswolf which is a full cover block with pump and attached to a rad.
Unlike the AIO this cools the whole card and not just the core.

My temps are cooler and the air coming out of the rad is barely warm so I have set the fans as intakes.

I would have thought that a full cover block rather than a small block covering just the GPU core would put out more heat.


Can someone explain the physics of this If my post makes sense
