idly wondering how different the airflow and temperatures in my desktop would be if I used air cooling for my CPU instead of a 360mm AIO
like the case I have, the Fractal Torrent which is a case that is optimized for air cooling and flow: massive front two intake fans, 3 bottom intakes and a exhaust fan in the rear
right now, with the AIO mounted to the front along with its three small intake fans, two bottom intake fans and the rear exhaust
not like there's a problem, one of the big reasons I went for a AIO was that the CPU is a high power (and therefore heat) part that would benefit from water cooling
I recently replaced the GPU and temperatures can peak to 70C for that part, wondering if air cooling air flow from front intake would make that lower
I suppose the big question is how does the air flow for the XFX RX 7900 XTX actually look like

@packetcat that's a lot of Xs
@noiob the more Xs the better!
@packetcat I only have four in my RX 6950 but I am pretty happy with my XFX card
