Tried a reversed fan setup on my NR200 build yesterday

I built my first ITX system in a Cooler Master NR200 about two weeks ago. Stuck with the usual bottom intake, top exhaust layout. But yesterday I flipped all my fans to pull fresh air from the top and push it out the bottom. CPU temps dropped about 6 degrees under load because the GPU wasn't recycling its own hot air up through the radiator. Just weird how going against the conventional wisdom actually worked better here. Anyone else ever mess with nonstandard airflow directions?

Wait you seriously flipped the bottom fans to exhaust? That's wild, I gotta try that.
