As i have 2 80mm extracts on the back of case and the top fan is directly over the fets and power area of the mobo, i fitted a old areo blower fan there as it sucks air at a 90 degree angle it draws air from the fets and my heatsinks which a normal 80mm fan wont do.

Staight away my cpu temps dropped 8c to 33 idle with stock intel cooler, and case temps dropped 4c to 28c.

So if anyone has a blower fan gathering dust give it a try.
Wasnt sure which section to put this in.

I'm trying to visualize this. You have a Cooler Master Aero Fan like this one in the pic, right?

You mounted it in the top of the case exhausting out through the top? So the fan intake is down near the mosfets?

Thats the fella that side you can see in the pik seems to suck 80% more then the other side, so i pointed that side towards to mosfets.
When i said top i meant the top fan on the rear of my case as i have 2 on the rear.

It also helps as i have done the duct mod and the normal 80mm there was blocked by the ducting, as the blower sucks from the 90degree angle it isnt blocked by the duct.
