Using PX1 with a FTW3, which fan, 1,2 or 3, cools which component(s); GPU, memory, power?
 
For example, does Fan 1 cool the GPU, Fan 2 cool the memory, Fan 3 cool the power, or what is the correct order?
 
If anyone knows.

Z390 DARK, 9900K, 2080 FTW3 ULTRA, GSKILL 4500, 960EVO M.2

    The fan closest to the gpu io cools the gpu. The other two cool the mem/vrm.

    Thanks. I do not suppose there is a diagram or other illustration?

    2fans GPU has 1inlet and 1 outlet, and
    3fans GPU has 3 inlets fans.
    to circulate the amount of air coming into the radiator EVENLY
    on 30series GPU.
     
    all fans must be turned on so as in idle state(without any usage)?
    if turned off, normal idle temp is about 45C and rising after any usage.

    Follow this link and scroll down a bit.  It'll give you an idea of the fans with illustration.

    I'd just sync them all to the gpu fan anyways. So link to fan 1. You'll want all fans running to keep the hardest to cool, the gpu.

    Intel i9 9900K @ 5.2Ghz Single HUGE Custom Water Loop.
    Asus Z390 ROG Extreme XI MB
    G.Skill Trident Z 32GB (4x8GB) 4266MHz DDR4 
    EVGA 2080ti K|NGP|N w/ Hydro Copper block.
