Friend told me my PC was "drowning" because of my airflow setup
I had all these extra fans crammed in my case blowing every direction. A buddy who builds pcs for a living pointed out i was fighting my own airflow and creating dead spots. Took out two fans and flipped one around and my cpu temps dropped like 8 degrees.

Totally feel you on that one. It's wild how we think "more fans = better" but it just turns into a mess. I did the same thing in my build, crammed five fans in a mid-tower and my GPU was cooking. Pulled two out and set them as intake on the front, one exhaust on the back, and my temps dropped by 10 degrees. Sometimes you gotta let the air just flow through instead of fighting itself.
