Working from home is awesome, working from bed is not. And people wonder why they have trouble falling asleep...

Hi! I currently have this build using the GT502 case.

I just recently got 3 more case fans. Previously it was set up like this:

I think that for some reason the temps got worse and the PC much louder. It might just be buyer's remorse but I got more fans so that they could use less RPM and be quieter, but I feel like the complete opposite has happened.

Can I change anything about this layout to optimise airflow? I was thinking of maybe switching the side panel fans to exhaust? That might starve the CPU cooler, though...

Maybe I'm just imagining things and I just need to perform exact tests to figure it out. What do you use for testing airflow effectiveness?

UPDATE:
The issue was weirder than I would've thought. The bottom 3 fans are controlled by one motherboard channel using a PWM splitter cable. The rear and side panel fans are the same - one channel for all 3. Previously I had just the rear exhaust plugged in to a single channel but now it's plugged into the splitter.

Apparently the order of the fans in the splitter is VERY important. I changed it so that the rear fan is the first in the splitter and that instantly fixed the issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually left that instance just because it was always having issues...

You just can't see the microscopic "for" in "OWN IT ^for NOW"

That is definitely an autofilled one-off password from a password manager.

We take folk dancing very seriously. There are A LOT of folk dance ensembles and they vary from random hobbyist groups to company-sponsored groups of 80+ dancers. There are lots of competitions, drama and every 5 years - a huge concert where most ensembles participate and perform in a stadium. One dance can contain up to 1000 dancers at the same time.

During this year's final dance the spectators mentioned that they could feel the ground shaking.

Do you buy a new TV, like, every other week?

This would be exciting if I hadn't already lost all confidence in Ubisoft being able to make a fun AC game anymore.

I eat bell peppers like apples. Just wash it and eat it, no cutting required.

I don't have answers but I love this one. They're usually pretty dumb, like a wrench on a motherboard or something. This one is actually funny with no intent on being serious.
