ordered a fan for my new rig. not sure how temps look for only having 2 fans, but i want more. (cpu is around 25-29 idle and 38-43 on load.) i have a side panel case fan blowing air directly onto the motherboard/ram, seems to kinda be working against the processor's fan but i hear intake is the best way to do the side panel. I have only 1 out take fan right now, a PCI slot fan in the rear. it sucks air off the video card mainly, but also gets the excess heat a little. probably is the strongest/most efficient fan.
so i have room for a fan on the back still, and on the top of the case. im thinking 2 out takes and 1 in take will be worse than 2 intake and 1 out take. but the top fan would make more sense to be out take since heat rises. any ideas?
