Hey guys,
I’m hoping to buy a new fan to cool down my GPU which gets extremely hot while gaming, however I’m unsure whether to purchase an Air Flow or Static Pressure fan. I’m using a Fractal Design Define R5 case, with the two stock 140mm fans (GP14 @1000RPM) currently as intake and exhaust.
I’m going to add a single fan that’s more powerful than the current ones, however there are two things I’m uncertain of. Firstly would it be cooler for my GPU if the more powerful fan is blowing directly towards the card? Or would it be cooler to have the two GP14 fans blowing from the front, and the more powerful fan as an exhaust, sucking out hot air in the back?
And this leads on to my second question, which would be the more suitable fan for me to purchase? Would it be a high air flow one or a static pressure one? Also I’m not sure how much it affects this, but my PC case have two fan filters in the front and bottom. I’ve uploaded a pic of my system here:

So given my current situation, which type of fans would be most suitable for my setup? Also any recommendation on the specific fan model I can purchase? It’s the first time I’ve added a fan to my PC, don’t have much of a clue and only know it’s supposed to be 140mm haha.
Thank you so much for reading this, sincerely appreciate any help and suggestions. Cheers and wish you a happy new year!
