1445449 2018-01-27 21:27:00 The fans on the side of a case suck in cooler air and blow it into the case. Never seen one blowing out ( on the side), generally only rear fans blow out the hot air. It also depends if you are using Positive or Negative pressure with direction of top fans ---pc-cooling-how-to-set-up-computer-case-fans/ (www.neweggbusiness.com)

The Graphic cards have the air blowing down onto the Heat sink, same as a CPU. The colder air is blowing to cool (the heat sink which is absorbing heat), the rear fans blow out the hot air, front fans pull cooler outside air in, thus causing an air flow.

When using a Fanless Graphic Card, its relying on colder airflow over the heatsink to move away the heat it absorbs.

1445450 2018-01-27 22:01:00 Yup. I'll have to replace the front fan on this as well. The one that was in it the BIOS couldnt read its RPM. Even tho it was working. So, I removed it

I have no idea why. May get a splitter as well for the front and side fan. Even tho the GPU is fanless, it needs a fan in this heat.

It's the first time the GPU has overheated, since I've had it
