nice mod.

but the bottleneck isn't at the intake but on the cpu cooler…push pull setup on cpu cooler might give better temp compared to extra 2 intake fans.

intake fan helps a lot when direct blow to gpu.

advice to other 8940 users, mod the cpu cooler to noctua u9s or d9l is very sufficient already, then use the original cpu fan and replace the original exhaust fan then you are good to go. because if not mistaken the cpu boost time around 28s and can't be adjusted in bios…unless u use intel XTU or other 3rd party software to remove the boost time limit.
