Adding the gpu waste heat will further increase that. The top of the case is often 2-3C warmer than the front rail without load. So you might knock down the gpu top plate temp by a 2-3C, but then you likely will see higher cpu temp because the coolant up top may run 4-6C higher than it otherwise would. With a bigger case and a 240 or 360 up top, you may be able to blow more air at the gpu, but then you will also be removing some of that heat through the top radiator. This isn’t a bad thing and will help with the general cooling air flow path. If the front fans can’t supply enough intake air through the radiator (likely), then air will be pulled in from any available path like case gaps etc. The front case fans aren’t really doing that. Meanwhile the only thing that cools your gpu is the gpu’s own fans. You might see a 4C coolant rise during gaming, but that does not mean the case temp goes up 4C in the critical areas. The actual heat added from the cpu is going to be fairly low. The air coming off the radiator will be approximately equal to the coolant, so typically 26-36C depending on room temp and cpu load. Using the radiator as front intake does not automatically heat up the case.
