I have a T-bird 750 running at 900, gets to about 55c normally. I only currently have my heatsink fan. If i get 2 fans to get air flowing, a bigger heat sink + fan and also use arctic silver compound what differences can i expect?

I dont want to spend the money if the differences are not alot.

Also i was going to put 1 of the fans on the front to suck air in but should i put the 1 for air going out on the back or side? If i put it on the side it would be right over the top of my CPU fan?

Thanks
 
Cant give you exact numbers because everyones system will act different but it should help. Usually the best way to orient fans is to have the lower ones sucking air in and the upper ones blowing air out of the case. Heat rises and you want the upper fans exhausting the hot air out of the case.
