RX 6600, or RX 6800/6900 depending on budget.
I don't quit understand your airflow model. As shown, the NH-D15 exhausts to the two fans at the top. But intake is blocked by the GPU.
I would rotate the cooler by 90° to exhaust to the back, and back fan. The top may even be closed. How's the case intake?
Haha, I get that it’s a little unorthodox. My simple thinking led me to this. Hot air rises, and the NH-D15 is open. So instead of fan’s pushing air in, and fan’s sucking air out, I figured that this simple sucking air out would be sufficient. And it does, even without blowing the fan’s at max speed. On the contrary, I have set the fan’s on a very silent curve. The fan inside and above the Noctua are set to the cpu temp, the other fan to a much warmer sensor. It works, but I would believe you if you said that this is negative for the gpu. The case is a Fractal Design Meshify C.I have also been looking at the photo for a while. I don't get the airflow either...
This was the original setup. But here I was blowing the NH-D15 air to a much smaller fan. This seemed counter productive to me. And 5 fans instead of 3 now.
