I added another fan, helped?
Hey,
I've just added an 80mm fan to the back of my computer:  At the moment it is sucking air out of the computer, I thought it'd help with he temps but they are only like 2C lower? What gives?

Those two 80mms on the side are blowing in? Do you have any fans in the front?

There's nothing up front? No grills or anything? If you could somehow mod the case to put one in, that would help. Can you put a 120mm in the back, or is it just the 80mm back there?
Another thought I had was that the air being pulled in by the 80mms are just being pulled out by the 80mm on the back.

There are grills but there isn't any-where it would ge the air from, there's no holes.
Just a 80mm I think, I just bought it today... The temps have gone down by about 4C after getting the new fan... I think because there is a constant lot of cool air running through, the CPU fan sucks some up.

I would recommend thinking about somehow modding your case so that a fan can be in front of the hard drives. If you are satisfied with your current temperatures, though, there isn't any reason to change.

I don't really want to hack my case apart, my temps were about 37C idle, they are now 34C idle...
Are they good?

the real test is load temperatures. Download Prime95 and check them.
