Help with cooling?

m3lisk · Feb 8, 2011

Alright, so I just finished with my rig's case and what not, however I need some advice on how to get it to run cooler. With my 20% OC, i run at about 30C idle, and 50C under load, however I think it could run cooler. I have that slot on top air sealed right now, partially because the PSU prevents a fan from fitting there, but I'm willing to put the fan on the outside and make a housing box for it. The front fan is intake, my CPU cooler has two fans pulling from the front and pushing to the rear, and then I have my one exaust. Any ideas on where to put some other fans, or any other possible changes? Thanks everyone!

Attached is the airflow within the case.

Those are perfectly fine temps for your specs. Honestly, you can't really ask more than that in a case that size and just a "decent" cpu cooler.

Would you suggest a better air cooler?

My case has venting at the top as well but I leave it open. I also have side fans and one behind the motherboard.

Why did you seal yours at the top? Just curious.
