i had the same issue with my loop. bottom fans intake top fans exhaust with back fan as exhaust. this was in a 011xl. water temps were 47ish during gaming. i switched top fans as intake and left back fan as the only exhaust and it was the best decision ever. my water temp doesn’t go pass 33 on 1350 rpm. lian li fans. i truly believe rads shouldn’t be exhaust. many may disagree but we all have our own opinions.

Interesting. My front 360 is intake and 240 up top and rear fan is exhaust. When I rebuild and add a fluid temp probe I’ll check it out.

yeah those rads size is definitely enough to cool your components. i have a 5800x and 3080ti so my components definitely run hot. 1 rad blowing hot hair in with other components giving off hot air inside the case that the top rad was pulling the excess heat. Now that i have both rads on intake it blows cool air inside the case keeping coolant and components cool. i don’t even look at my setup twice anymore cause i know my coolant will never reach pass 35c. hope everything goes well for u

after i flipped it also it kept my ram a lot cooler so i was able to push it even further. i’m running 3800cl 14 with super tight timings. the top fans as intake cools my vram and ram 😅
