Adding more fans

The case I'm using right now is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068

It has a 8cm intake fan at the front and a 12cm exhaust fan at the back. With only 2 fans, i think it doesn't provide enough cooling for my motherboard ( p35-ds3l) and ram. The northbridge heatsink is pretty hot to touch and rams are warm.

There's an airduct on the side panel which I've removed for the installation of AC Freezer 7 Pro.

Do you think it's a good idea to add a fan on the side panel blowing towards the motherboard to cool down the northbridge + ram? If so, what kind of fans should I get?
Could use some other advice too. :)
Thanks for the help!
 
Why not just get another case that has better air flow? But i cant say much about you adding a fan and blowing air onto the mobo because i have never tryed it myself but i still dont think that would be enough air flow in your case to get the hot air out.
 
I've been looking at Antec 900 with numerous fancy LED fans, they're cool but I don't want to spend that amount of money for a new case yet since the one i'm using is working fine for me.
It's just that I want to OC my E8400 further so I want there to be enough cooling. :)
 
If you want enough cooling i would recommend i new case atleast my opinion it would be a waste just adding fans to that case if its just going to improve it the tinyest bit when you could sell that case and get a much better one with better air flow..
