Ok....i realized my ys tech fans were way too loud....44db @ 105cfm....keeping my case temp 26C and cpu @ 41C....well i decided to 7 volt the fans...(almost screwing up my hard drive in the process with a 5v going into the ground...i caught that before i turned it back on luckily).....so i did it to both of them....(120mm)...and my other 120mm that came with the case is nice and quiet so i left it alone.
I turn the comp back on and let it run for a few hours or so...i come back and check the temps...and they are 25C 39C....now is it possible that the fans were creating more heat than they were letting out?....i could put my hand in front of the fans and they blew a lot of air....and if i put my finger over the motor it was quite warm...even tho the air coming out wasn't.
so why are my case temps so much lower?....i will tell you tho that it is much less noisy....prolly less than half as loud...im prolly around 34db now.
