No that's what called having a good working air conditioner in a window(not Windows) nearby to see the more frigid air drawn into the case. That's the wonder of warmer weather where you can still freeze yourself along with hardwares if there's enough btus to go around!

That's why I like the twin 120s on the front of the Antec Nine Hundred for that great intake of precooled air.

whats a good fan setup? or does it depend on your case and setup?

It all depends, most people say intake at the front and outtake at the back. Otherwise you end up creating a air vacum in your case because air is blowing out the psu at the back and out the front. Even if you have the back blowing in, because the psu will still push that back out before it manages to get around the case.

phase change-expensive and generally only for CPU-$800-$900
liquid nitrogen-very expensive used only for short term benchmarking, large time commitment
watercooling-excellent temps (compared to air)fiscally efficient-$300+
TEC-to be used only with a great to excellent watercooling setup it can provide below freezing temps-350+ and good water cooling
air cooling-average joe cooling-free to $100

The old case here for a Socket A board saw no problems until putting a 939 board in. That case had two 80mm fans rear and top and then saw higher board temps. Once everything went into the current case with a 140mm front and 120 rear plus two 120s thrown on the side cover later the board went from 48C right down to 31C. That's a huge drop in temps right there.

The old case lacked even side or front vents while being a good looking case. No air flow seen was the actual problem. Many compact mid tower cases end up seeing the same problems with the newer boards out. The gaming style cases see large fans and good air flow in general since they know people will push hardwares.
