Routing computer wires?

Hi all,

First off im new to the forum, and it seems cool. anyway i was just wondering if anyone has some good ideas about routing internal computer wires. i'm looking to drop the temps of my comp, currently running (89F idle- 95F ish gaming) and was wondering if i could get some better airflow. im currently using 3x 80mm fans (front intake, top intake, and side intake) and one 120mm exauhst fan in rear, and the fan on cpu heatsink.

I read something bout negative case presure, might try that. Also picked up a round IDE cable which will replace the ribbon one.

Also should inside a cpu heatsink reach 105F playing something like BF2?
Ok, i think that about covers it.
Any suggestions will be much appricated.
Thanks much

cool thanks Rizin, i think ill try the more out than in to see how the temp changes and in theory that sounds like it would work. thanks for everyones responses so far.
 
yea when i first hooked mine up it was reading like 35C and i thought it was in F. i was like wow thats awesome!
 
Thanks alot my case temp never goes above 91F now, with my side case fan as outtake. i can even feel it pulling the heat off the cpu heat sink bc its right infront of it.

oh and i downloaded CPUZ and apparently i've oced my 3500+ to 2.66GHz
Yay! ;)
 
naw. its best to have positive case pressure with filters on all the intake fans. keeps all the dust out

No, negative is better, lower pressure is better to maintian lower temps. High pressure = hot. It also means that air iis being drawn in from other parts of the case where there are no fans, which helps cooling.
 
OMG! The simple fact there are fans and air circulation should tell you that its not high pressure or low pressure. If the case was entirely high pressure no new air would ever come in and if it was entirely low pressure you would have a cyclone of hot air inside the case that couldnt ever get out ....
