Hello, there is such a Zalman zm-t1 plus
case , a 90mm blower fan is already installed on the rear panel.
on the side panel there are two places for a 120mm
lower fan located so that its upper third is above the video card.
the asus strix rx470 video card
has 2 fans on it,
the power supply is at the bottom, blown out.
how to direct the fans (inward/outward) and which ones to install (there is space for 120mm on the bottom of the front panel, I hope not to use it...) ?

Draw air currents on paper and places of heating. Put the fan on.
The main point of proper cooling inside the case is a vent pipe so that air passes through the case as quickly as possible. Obviously, noise will be added, maybe slightly lower the speed, and rubber pads, although not a panacea, will become better.

Is there a cooling problem at all? If not, then there is no need to invent anything.
And explain why you don't want to use the front cooler?
The maximum configuration in this case, which I see, is one for the front intake, one for the rear exhaust. If the video is VERY hot, then another one directly in front of it for blowing.
