Phanteks P400 fan setup
So the case is not exactly praised for it's airflow/cooling capabilities, i'm wondering if my current fan setup e is the most efficient possible or if there could be a better setup using my current fans.

Current fan set up:

2x140mm NF-A14 noctua fans (front intake)
1x140mm NF-A14 noctua fan on the top rear end as exhaust
1x120mm NF-S12A noctua fan (rear exhaust)

Any input would be appreciated!

That's fine. As long as your top is exhausting.

Yep it is exhausting. Was thinking if moving it to the top front end as intake would improve my temps in any meaningful way?

What temps are you having issues with?
Thats a pretty common configuration

Temps are not exactly an issue, they are well below max limits. The cpu reaches 68/70ºc under load, the gpu reaches about 75/76ºc under load, it is overclocked and it has a custom fan profile. (it's summer where i live, and the place where my pc is doesn't have air conditioning) I just want to make sure that this is the best setup possible in order to get the best thermal performance considering the airflow limitations of the case.

Perhaps move the fans to intake on the top would help out as the front panel is practically closed off for airflow.

Gotcha
Yeah theres not much else you can do without going to water cooling and just making sure the fans and heatsinks are clean.

a floor fan may help as well if room airflow is limited/restricted

All in all those temps are fine though for that setup

Might not hurt to add another to the top heat rises all in all likes been said those temps are fine especially overclcoked during summer time and your case front is steel if im correct limiting airflow. If you look up the front panel for that case a lot of people are replacing/modding them which could be an option if you’re comfortable doing it
