Guy at Micro Center told me my case fans were fighting each other

He pointed out my front intakes and top exhaust were basically making a tornado inside the case, dropped my GPU temps by 12C after I flipped two fans around. Has anyone else had airflow that made zero sense until someone showed you the flow path?

Keep going with that thought because I had the same thing happen with mine and it was a total mess. I mean the whole thing just felt like it was fighting itself the whole time instead of working together. Maybe it's just me but I wonder if they designed it wrong from the start or something. idk it's like they didn't test it with real use or whatever. Honestly mine ended up totally useless after a few weeks and I had to just scrap it and start over. Kind of frustrating when you think you're getting something good and it just lets you down like that.
