Re: Gaming Rig HEATING up, help please before it blows!
Mate, seriously. Buying expensive fans is just not gonna yield the results you're hoping for. Yes, nice fans are nice. But they wont work miracles and shift tonnes more air. They'll mainly just be quieter and look cooler. The money could be put towards a better case instead. Don't mean to sound repetative but I don't wanna see ya waste money on expensive case fans and still have the same problem. After sorting out the cpu fan you could put 1 or 2 fans as intakes at the front of the case. If there is space high up then do that. Because it will send a nice direct airflow to the cpu. I did that with my case, tying a fan underneath my dvd drive. Dropped my cpu temp by 5c. Well worth it! Your graphics card temps seemed alright if I remember correctly. But if you want it cooler you can always sit a fan underneath it or something. Probably not needed though.

Well as I said before - I'm not to clued up on cases these days as I haven't looked at any properly for years, so don't wanna advise on that. Maybe start a new thread for that?
