Um not really. My TX650 does not move much air (maybe 10-15CFM). My GPU is getting all the air it wants because it is the first to the air.

Zip ties - Yes will do

Flip PSU around - Maybe

Try flipping top fan down again - maybe

Anything about improving cable management in my cramped case?

Also, It's a known fact that the psu fan competes with the intaked air. Having the fan intaking from the inside or outside doesn't make a huge difference. I have mine facing down as it allows my cables to be closer to the holes for cable management.

Nice. I got most of those holes done <.< +rep

looks like if you move that HDD right next to the video card it will give it more fresh air "right in front of intake" might be cooler air too if it dosent go over hdd. Just a suggestion.

Meh I was wondering what more I could do. Moving cables and stuff. I do not care about my hard drive's air flow because they are fine
