Hello,
I need some help with my fan setup.
I recently upgraded my graphics card, RAM, CPU, and Case.
I planned on just upgrading the Graphics card, but then it turned out it didnt fit in the case.
So I then purchased a new case (kind of in a hurry) because I couldnt wait to see how the MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G would perform (I know... my bad).
As of now, I regret buying the Cooler Master Elite 430 case in a hurry.
With this case, my case gets split up in 2 parts because the MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G is such a big graphics card, as you can see on the picture I linked below, (I hope this worked).

So to the point now:
I now have 2 120mm revoltec case fans at the top (exhaust), at about 1100 RPM (49CFM).
I have the standart fan which was delivered with the case in the lower front panel as intake.
I have 1 of the same revoltec case fan in the rear, also as exhaust.
And as you can see on the picture, I have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo (european, @ about 1675 RPM, 66 CFM) cooling my cpu, and I mounted again a same revoltec case fan on top of the Hyper 212 EVO (both as exhaust).
Also I have a side panel fan, the fan of my old cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper T4 which runs at 1700 RPM at this moment (running as intake). But because my graphics card is so big, this side panel fan might suck alot of air in cooling my graphics card... but my MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G already has a very good cooler stock on it, the Twin Frozr V, and this card might be blocking the air which is getting sucked in by the Hyper T4 fan.
I am looking for the best cooling for my CPU specifically.
So is this fan setup okay, or could I do better than this??
I personally think I should remove the revoltec case fan mounted on top of the hyper 212.
I think it is holding back the performance of the 212, since the Hyper 212 EVO is running at about 1675 RPM, and the revoltec fan only 1100. And maybe remove the side panel fan, im not sure what to do.
I run my cpu @4.8GHz now, getting temps of about 80 degrees celcius while gaming, which isnt that bad I think. Also I can stresstest and passed 12 hours of prime 95, but all this time when stresstesting, 2 cores where at about 100 degrees and 2 cores around 90 degrees, so this is to hot.
Looking to get better temps while stresstesting.
To finish this post here are my specs:
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K running @4.8 GHz
RAM: 16GB Kingston Hyper X Fury 1866 MHz running @2133 MHz
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
Hard Drives: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD + Western Digital HDD 1TB
Graphics Card: MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G OC edition
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (EU)
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated
