I recently upgraded my system with a fantastic deal: I got a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a 4070 Ti Super, 32GB of RAM (5200 MHz), and a 1TB M.2 SSD for just $1250! My previous setup was an i7 8700K and RTX 2080, which I'd had for about 6 or 7 years. Now, I noticed something odd with the fan setup. There are NZXT fans, but it seems like two out of three front fans are facing the wrong way—they seem to be pulling air instead of pushing. The CPU cooler's radiator is blowing air out, and the rear fan is also blowing out, so I end up with four exhausts and only two intakes. Should I switch the front fans to all be intakes, or is it okay to leave them as they are?

Wow, $1250 for that setup sounds like a steal! I’d suggest posting some pictures for a clearer idea of the fan situation. From what you describe, it seems a bit off, but we can help figure it out if we see it. It’s definitely worth checking if those front fans are actually configured correctly.
I have a post in another forum where I shared some pictures while I was buying it. I can definitely post more if that helps!
