Are two exhaust fans in Fractal Design Define R5 "necessary"?

Hi,

So i've had my fractal design define r5 case for like 11 years now lol, in 2024 winter I upgraded pretty much everything except my GPU (Ryzen 7 7800x3d, gigabyte b650 gaming x ax v2, Kingston FURY Beast 32GB, Seasonic FOCUS Plus 850W)

Just this week I upgraded my GPU to the asus radeon rx 9070 xt oc and replaced the one intake fan i had at the front with 2 intakes (ARCTIC P14 Pro's)

So, I was wondering if it would be worth it to add the fan I had originally at the front of the case, to the upper back of the case as another exhaust? So I'd had 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans in the case.

My GPU temps have been alright (to my knowledge) when measured after two hours of playing Forza horizon 6: https://imgur.com/3GzAEyW

Any tips would be appreciated :]

Changing to a new GPU worsened Bluetooth range?

Hey,

A quick question to which I probably already know the answer lol

I just bought a new GPU (asus tuf radeon rx 9070 xt oc) and I have my "ancient" fractal design define r5 from 2015 or so to which I also upgraded pretty much every component during 2024 winter.

However now that I changed my GPU, my bluetooth range has worsened by like 50-60% easily, if i walk more than a couple of meters from my desk the audio starts to crack lose connection lol

I've had the antennas screwed to the back of the case all this time and it has worked wonders until now, could the new gpu really interfere so much?

My mobo is gigabyte b650 gaming x ax v2.
