Radial fans changed my mind after a temp test at Micro Center

I used to think positive pressure setups were overblown until I ran a 25 minute stress test with my new build in Tulsa. The GPU hotspot dropped 9 degrees C just by swapping two case fans to 140mm radial units. That result came from my own crude test with a $15 laser thermometer, not a sponsored review. Has anyone else seen bigger gains from fan orientation than they expected?

Nine degrees from just swapping fans is wild, especially with a $15 laser thermometer. Wait, you only swapped two fans and didn't touch the GPU cooler at all?
