Anybody who can help...

for the case cooling experts...

again with my cooling problems... my temps are really fine without the side on, but I have read a number of posts that have said it is better to run with the side on and have good airflow... my temps (see the signature) are pretty high with the side on...

I only have a really old digital camera, which I can't get working right now, and takes bad pics anyway, so I can't post a pic of the system right now, but maybe tommorrow I can get one up... until then I made something in paint to give you cooling experts some idea of what I'm dealing with...

I think the problem is that the heat is rising up to the top of the case and then my glaciator has only hot air to suck in... any suggestions would be very helpful, I'm gonna be at college in a month and would be much happier if I didn't have to worry about my case being open all the time...

oh yeah, any suggestions that don't involve cutting into the case would be most appreciated, because I am in Singapore right now, and they don't sell Dremels here, so I don't think I can cut the holes for the fans I want... (ideally I really want to put an outtake fan at the top and two intakes on the side...)

look in the alt mod section for other ways of cutting holes and you should be fine you don't need a dremel after all.

add the top 120mm panaflo and replace the other fans with stronger 80mm or mod to fit 92mm fans.

Don't forget that you must put out the same air that you put into the case, considering theyr airflows (the CFM).
My suggestion is to install a fan on top that blow out the hot air, and another one on the left side of the cover case that blow in the fresh air onto the Pci cards.

I hope it helps you :-)
