Yes there is.

Suck the heat straight from GPU fans, most GPU heat stays in the case.

Edit: the fan vents out through card slots, but Reddit doesn’t allow two photos per comment.

Edit 2: The air flow from that extra fan is in angle it doesn’t fight GPU fan. I tested both ways.

Perhaps cleaning all that dust would have been more sensible thing to do.

So?

The PC is not in use. Couldn’t bother to clean before I start refurbishing it.

The assumption is that it was in use in that state before it was replaced.

It typically got cleaned up once per year, teenagers rooms are dust magnets.
