Shh. Don't tell him that. :P

I don't even know what my temps are. I don't even care. As long as it doesn't crash or burn up, I'm good.
 
Make sure you have those fans pointing the optimal way. You'll generally want the front ones pulling in fresh air and any fans at the back as exhausts. A lot of people just blindly throw fans into their cases without thinking about which direction they want the air to go.

That said, your temps are fine anyway. That's a lovely case.
 
I did mention bragging rights, right? It is interesting to see, judging by the pics (like a pic of the buttons on the top of the case or the two monitors? What do they have to do with cooling?) that I was right.

Anyways... I do not think that case has been set up for proper airflow at all. It looks pretty, and something that might appeal to an oriental or very young crowd (is the OP oriental? I didn't happen to notice) but it really isn't practical. There is not enough exhaust on the back when you consider everything blowing in all over the place from the sides. Not to mention that all the fans on the side consume most of the usable airflow room inside the case. It's going to create quite the turbulent effect in the case with no logical flow to the discharge. I think it's a terrible design.

I completely agree with shutting down the top two fans. I would actually remove them altogether and block off the vents. Bring the intake in from the bottom on the front and sides and move it out the rear at the top. That would be logical.

I don't think the OP is really looking to make effective changes in his cooling though. I get the distinct impression he is quite happy with it the way it is. Hopefully they will disable those fans though, to see if that makes an impact. I think it might.

i tried that, but it went up to 33c, i'm going to see what i could do to vent it alittle more (btw, i was trying to take a picture of the top vent not just buttons, sorry if you think i am bragging)

Click to expand...

Hai, you don't have to be sorry to me, even if you were. I was just musing. It doesn't matter though. Let's just get back to the topic. :)

Leave it the way it is if you are getting the best results. There's not much else you can do there. You have no room to do anything else.
 
How about having the bottom 2 fans in side panel blowing air IN, the top right turned off, and the top left blowing air OUT. Your graphics card helps create a path of some sort for the air to follow.
